“People are wrong to be mad at Keir Starmer, change takes time and they’re being unfair!” and yet he finds the time to be actively hostile to immigrants and trans people, which you all don’t seem to have a problem with eh

This rate of change in methane gas use is insane. 25% decrease in one year. "That growth in battery capacity managed to shift about three times as much power from the daytime...It has caused the need for gas-fired generation to drop by more than a quarter from the same time last year"

Hello. I have science questions for #AstroSky, specifically Satellite operations. It's for a story I'm writing:) 1.) Can a very strong CME destroy a satellite? 2.) Can turning off the satellite prevent the worst destruction? 3.) Can you actually turn off satellites? Like turn them into stand-by?

🌍 The European State of the Climate 2025 is out now! The report published jointly by @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social and @wmo-global.bsky.social shows that Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average. Read the report: climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2025 #ESOTC2025

The European State of the Climate Report is launched today: 🌐 more than 40 datasets 👩‍🔬 over 100 scientists 🗺️ > 130 charts and graphics 🌍 🌡️ Europe is the fastest warming continent, with temperatures rising at around twice the global average rate Check it out: climate.copernicus.eu/ESOTC

there's something disgusting about cis ppl using hrt for sexual kicks while calling me a pervert for using it to reduce suicidal ideation.

Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

it’s lesbian visibility week! and trans lesbians are lesbians too (we’re also v good at kissing just thought you should know)

Hallo! Ich brauche eure Hilfe! Hat jemand von euch #KänguruRebellion als physisches Buch? Ich brauche ein kurzes Beweisfoto von dem "6 7" in Kapitel 13! Das ist für das Book-Bingo von @grapiedeltaco.bsky.social 😂 #booksky #KänguruChroniken #Känguru #MarcUweKling @marcuwekling.bsky.social

Do I have any lawyer friends here with ICJ experience who would be willing to talk to my Model UN students via Zoom?

Hello. Please imagine the following scenario: Rocky was never in any danger. Should Grace go back to Earth or still go along to Erid, just for science sake? #SciComm #ProjectHailMary #writingPrompt #IAmGoingToStealYourResponsesForAFanficImWorkingOn

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸 We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto. The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

This is a picture from last year's lunar eclipse. But just for reference, this is roughly where the now newly named crater "Carroll" is located. #Artemis #ArtemisII #Artemis2

Okay, where's the petition to make "Integrity" and "Carroll" official? Who do I have to talk to? ❤️❤️ #ArtemisII #Artemis #Artemis2 @nasaartemis.bsky.social

The Artemis II crew just officially passed the Apollo 13 distance record…they are the furthest from Earth any human has ever been! 🤯 🧪🔭

Amateur astronomers with telescopes equipped with video cameras are requested to look for impact flashes on the Moon tonight, to coordinate with #ArtemisII observations. Details here: www.geodes.umd.edu/impactflash

The fact humanity has figured out how to ride atop hundreds of thousands of gallons of explosive fuel just to do science is the best.

We are sending people to the moon for the first time since 1972 TODAY. Don’t let this historic moment pass you by! 🧪🔭

After reading this paper by @lowbacca.bsky.social I must oppose a publication in the current state. The core value of 1.8% reduction of solar radiation to offset a doubling in CO2 is not supported by the cited source. Govindasamy and Caldeira estimate that a "shielding of ~1.7%" would suffice. (1/2)

This says it all, really. ”Trans women upend our whole way of life!” and then it turns out that in every sphere the ‘threat’ from trans women is essentially zero. And it’s not even based on ability! We don’t have our foot in the door *anywhere*! We are permitted to be outstanding in zero fields!

A while ago a few cool people in a cool discord server wrote stories around a (definitely human) janitor in a supernatural hotel and the attached (definitely legal) night club. One of the stories (by @jazzyjbox.bsky.social) from this world (about an aroace succubus) is now getting published!)

Tropical Cyclone Narelle is forecast to make landfall in Western Australia on Friday afternoon as a severe category 3 system. You can follow the path of Tropical Cyclone Narelle in the tracking map. 🔗👉 www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It's actually really fucked up watching so many people clamor to watch a new television series created by a woman who has proudly bragged she'll use the money she makes to try and kill my entire community.

Attention Science Communicators! We are conducting a survey on the landscape of science communication & need your help gathering experiences. Please send this to #SciComm ppl you know. We want to get as thorough a sense of the state of the field as we can. umiami.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

You should take this survey for two reasons: 1. Help science 2. Offset all the personal biases I just brought into this dataset 😂😂 @biodiful.bsky.social

‪ 🌳 Do you want to contribute to research on how humans perceive forests? Take this quick, anonymous 10-min survey 🌲 👉 www.biodiful.org#/forest This will help us explore how people experience forest biodiversity! Please share on 🦋 & tag @biodiful.bsky.social to reach more participants 🙏💚 🌐🌍🦤🦑🪴🍁🧪

Hey @planetarysociety.bsky.social, I'm researching for a fun little story, where some astronauts accidentally stumble upon intelligent extraterrestrial life. How would they start communicating? Is there a guideline for first contact you (or someone else) is working on? Who could I ask about this?

Do I know someone who knows someone who has insights into safe online voting systems? I am working on a story that requires a global vote, and I could spend some time on exploring a few options here :) #votingSystems #PoliticalScience #SciComm #Encryption #InternetSecurity

I have a #SciFi #Physics question. Maybe for @popculturescientist.com or @philplait.bsky.social If we send out people into interstellar travels and want to keep them updated, how large of an antenna would we actually need for this? (In the specific case I'm looking at they are 14 light-years away)

Step 1: read a fun book Step 2: decided you wanna write fanfiction about it Step 3: read through the New Zealand Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Response Plan for Severe Space Weather. Step 4: ?

Do I know any astrobiologists? Do you know any astrobiologists? Do you/they have maybe half an hour time to talk to me, about astrobiological research? (Yes, this is technically for a silly fanfic, but I wanna include some actual fun sciComm in there) :)

@copernicusecmwf.bsky.social just released their Climate Summary of 2025. You can read the report here climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima... Or you can just drop any questions you have in the comments. I'm going to do a summary post this weekend :) #ClimateChange #SciComm #AMA

Finished another book for my 30 at 30 challenge 🎉 book is [redacted] by [redacted]. I really love the character development for [redacted] and [redacted] is absolutely beautifully written. Plus the ending? Chef's kiss! (Early beta read, so had to redact a few details 😂😂) Book 3/30

Okay. Question for? @skylargrayson.bsky.social @philplait.bsky.social maybe? I'm working on a fanfic, where a catastrophic CME has taken out all of Earth's satellites. I am trying to figure out a realistic timeline for rebuilding a satellite based global communications network. Can you help?

HELLO #AuthorsOfBlueSky #WritersOfBlueSky is your new years resolution to write more or more consistently? May I interest you in a *free* word count tracker? With support for up to 8 different active projects? You can set a daily/monthly/project goal and this will do the fun progress bars for you!

Day 25 of #ClimateAdvent This year has been rough. We got confirmation that 2024 was the first year on record with average temperatures of more than 1.5°C. And it looks like this year isn't going to be much colder. We hit the first tipping point with the now inevitable collapse of warm water corals

Day 24 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. We're doing another quick round of Climate Roulette :) This time, once again, with @projectdrawdown.bsky.social's list of solutions :) Let's begin.

Day 23 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. Reduce your meat consumption, unless you eat the rich. I guess.

#ClimateAdvent reposts Day 22

#ClimateAdvent repost Day 21

#ClimateAdvent reposts Day 20 Let's actually dive into solutions. Also say it with me: "Hydrogen for cars is stupid. Don't use hydrogen for cars."

Day 19 of #ClimateAdvent Reposts Let's start looking at actual solutions to the problem

Okay. #ClimateAdvent reposts. There are a lot more pages on the IPCC AR6. So for today, we're actually going to do a full new round of Climate Roulette! You can check out last year's topics below: - Climate Action for SDGs - future CO2 pathways - general risks 1.5/2° - equity and inclusion

Day 17 of #ClimateAdvent reposts. Climate Change is a social justice issue.

#ClimateAdvent reposts Day 16. *as far as I am aware* None of the tipping points discussed in this post have been triggered as of right now.

Of course I posted this yesterday. What do you mean? 🫣 This is Day 15 of #ClimateAdvent reposts (I had to double check where we stand on these tipping points and I can now say that we don't fully know. Specifically, the west antarctic sea ice may already be on the way, but we don't fully know yet!)
