1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement: She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵

The Oglala Sioux Tribe is trying to locate four members detained by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

The point right now isn’t to save the planet — or even ourselves or the more-than-human species we rely upon or love. The point is to create the conditions for the possibility of grace. sourcenm.com/2026/01/06/c...

🧵For those who don't know, this has been in the works for a while. There have been plans in the works to close down and consolidate some of the libraries with NASA. But the closure of the Goddard library was never part of the plan. Planning was being done to make Goddard the hub/main library.

In June, I started a 3-year reporting project called Cultivating Culture to showcase Native American sovereignty in food and language revitalization in any place where that is present. Here are a few of the stories that started to define this reporting. nativenewsonline.net/currents/the...

The latest from the Kobziar Fire Ecology Lab with a photo taken by yours truly. We’ve recovered many fungal pathogens in wildland fire 🔥 smoke. Viability was confirmed through culturing & mice developed lung disease when exposed. Lots still to learn abt smoke as a microbial reservoir & vector. 🧬💻🧪

I should add that I do NOT want to receive genAI-written cover letters.

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵 Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...

It’s late December and the hairy vetch is making this pot on our Abq patio look fabulous. It was also great in the hanging pots in full shade on our north porch at 7300’ this summer. It’s cheap & easy, has beautiful flowers, and even survives snow. Container #CoverCrops for the win.

I need #RStats C help! @mgirlich added me as a maintainer on {tibblify}, which has been archived due to use of non-API entry points (among other things). I want to learn to fix this, but I don't know where to start. I'll see where I can get with AI, but would greatly prefer some human guidance!

I’ve been dreaming of getting a row in the Rio Grande Community Farm garden. I wasn’t the only visitor this morning. I love sandhill cranes but, if our chickens are any indication, cranes might be kinda tough on a veggie plot. 😁
