Great news!

#PubDay for @royscranton.bsky.social‬’s #Impasse, from @stanfordpress.bsky.social‬. If our world is a “Rube Goldberg machine held together w/ fiber-optic cable, fossil fuels, shipping containers, & narrative,” & that machine is falling apart…what do we do? #book #climatecrisis #philosophy #history

FERN's story with Orion, “How fungi are surviving—and even thriving—in a warming world,” by Meera Subramanian, is included in this special issue, both in print and online. To read it online, head over to FERN's website. @orionmagazine.bsky.social‬ @meerasub.bsky.social‬

This story, the news that Camp Mystic had argued to remove some buildings from the previous flood map & the OR fire map debacle, strongly suggest that we need a way to insulate hazard & risk designations from politics. Hard (impossible?), but maybe modeling on the indep. fed. reserve. Thoughts?

WELL I'M PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN WHERE AT LEAST I HAVE AC AND I WON'T FORGET THE BRITS WHO DIED IN THE HEATWAVE OF '03 AND I'LL GLADLY SIT DOWN IN MY ROOM AND ENJOY THAT SWEET COLD AIR THAT HOT HOT SEETHE AND EURO COPE GOD BLESS MY FRIGIDAIRE!

Been thinking about my immigrant dad’s arrival 60+ years ago & those who are being sent away, now, & stories I heard from conservatives who recognized the value of immigrant labor.

Turns out firing everyone at the National Weather Service means the service for national weather forecasts doesn’t get served…

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analysed the cost of solar in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar panels can be cheaper than using wood.

Note I will keep you anonymous in my article. 🌍🧪

Today's heat wave was made FIVE TIMES more likely by fossil fueled climate change Yet Republicans are trying this week to pass a bill that would decimate the energy transition and sell off swaths of public lands to fossil fuel companies

Martha Park's new book World Without End is both epic and intimate. Eavesdrop on our conversation about it for @@orionmagazine.bsky.social‬. #faith #doubt #creativenonfiction #extinction #greenburial #newbooks #mothering #resurrection orionmagazine.org/article/fait...

I’m hooked on episode one of The Suitcase, a story of a mixed race man from #Sewanee #TN that capture a time and place so well. Have a listen & donate so that we can be sure to get episode two!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-suitcase-discovering-ely-green/id1798482897?i=1000695883451

Jaclyn Moyer won the 2025 Oregon Book Award for Gold Hill, of which I said, “Legacies of land and family reach across generations and continents ...You will never bite into a piece of bread, or visit your local farmer’s market, in quite the same way again.” Read it! literary-arts.org/2025/04/anno...

"I love teaching about infelicitous speech acts, because my life is so full of them. To be a foreigner is to be perpetually wasting arrows, missing the mark." Lovely piece by Lily Kelting in ‪@offassignment.bsky.social‬.   www.offassignment.com/noequivalent...

Based on my examination of Chenowith and Stephan’s data, 1.5% is the fraction of the population needed for a mass protest to have a 50-50 shot of succeeding. This movement is growing and the size of the crowds today is a favorable sign. Analysis: samwang.substack.com/p/how-to-rec...

Do you double check your receipt when you buy groceries? Maybe you should. Kroger stores in multiple states show a pattern of listing expired sale prices on the shelves and then ringing up regular prices at checkout, an investigation by the Guardian US, @thefern.org and @consumerreports.org ‬found.

Make no mistake: the House budget bill, as currently written, is effectively a full repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act clean energy measures. This renders all IRA tax credits as-good-as-dead. Goodbye nuclear industry. Goodbye US manufacturing investments. Hello higher energy prices.

Great to see journalist #DavidAbel's new #documentary on Michael Packard, the #CapeCod man momentarily scooped up in the mouth of a humpback whale. More than that moment, it's a portrait of place, a vanishing way of life, poverty & survival. Thanks to Tales of Cape Cod for the showing. #InTheWhale

Science & medicine? Cut, cut, cut. Thanks @carlzimmer.com for the week’s dire roundup.

🔔BREAKING🔔 The NSF has frozen all research grant awards—cutting off life-saving science midstream and demanding ideological screenings for future funding. This is censorship disguised as oversight. Here’s how you can help us spread the word ➡️🧵(1/3): www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"#1: Because oranges. Because a single slice held to the light is magic and sometimes the scene in the window of its cathedral is a fallow field on fire with dawn..." 🙏🏼 @nickolebrown.bsky.social for reminding us of reasons to #stay. @orionmagazine.bsky.social orionmagazine.org/article/one-...

A 50% cut to science funding (which is close to what Trump is proposing for NIH) would result in huge negative long-term economic outcomes: *7.6% cut in GDP *8.6% cut in federal revenues *equivalents of making the average American $10,000 poorer

Speak up for science! Ignorance is not bliss. The assault on scientific institutions, the people who are committed to knowledge and discovery, and the data sets that have been amassed over decades, will have ongoing global impacts, and not blissful ones. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

In late 2022, the world agreed to protect 30% of the planet for nature. Now, more than half the world’s countries have no plans to deliver on the target, according to analysis by Carbon Brief & The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
