super excited to announce our @earthlyespanol.bsky.social project is underway, we'll be making all of our content across our platforms accessible to the Spanish speaking world 🌎

Basically I think progressivism -- moving toward greater equality under law -- is moral & good, & conservatism -- preserving existing social & power hierarchies -- is bad & wrong, & furthermore, I think everyone *knows* this on some level. The thing is, being good is *hard* & often requires ...

solar panels don’t cause massive oil spills. they don’t explode. they don’t poison drinking water. they don't cloud the air with deadly pollution. and they don't collapse the climate. they just sit there, quietly making light into life.

when truth is suspect, power rests with whoever can shout the loudest, or spend the most.

[scribbling notes]

I think I would take reactionary centrists more seriously if they could cite one (1) example of progressives pushing for social change the *right* way -- using just the right slogans, supporting just the right policies, protesting in just the right fashion.

not sure if many people understand how difficult it is to try and effectively communicate the death of our living world, to millions of people, to then be ridiculed, mocked, violently threatened, digitally harassed, underpaid, chronically stressed, criticised and...

Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, just announced a massive solar push, aiming to light up villages with small solar-and-battery microgrids alongside bigger solar farms.

beautiful! an Australian NGO has released 147 brush-tailed bettongs! these squirrel-sized marsupials are vital ecosystem engineers, digging fungi and enriching soils. drawn from a thriving predator-free population of over 1,000, they’re now going “beyond the fence.”

"climate scientists are protesting as their research shows we are only years away from complete collapse" could be a headline every single day and yet the billionaire press continues to hide the truth. their silence is complicity.

I'll never forget when the Climate Minister told me "I live in the real world, and we can't just make things happen overnight" and then a few weeks later his party passed a law, *overnight*, making climate activists face more severe punishments than someone committing real crimes

you can say whatever you want, but the reality is that without drastically reducing animal agriculture, our planet's climate will collapse that's not some woke nonsense, that's the cold hard scientific fact we are putting burgers ahead of our future "most intelligent species" my ass

one of the more difficult things to come around to is that for my whole life, I have been told that it is China that is destroying the climate, and now, we are seeing China lead the world towards a rapid transition to clean energy

Pope Leo is turning out to be just as much of a green pope as Francis. Why do we care? Because he leads 1.4 billion Catholics and has nearly as big a platform as the anti-climate "president" of 340 million Americans.

Should we send politicians to prison for climate crimes? New data shows the overwhelming majority of the public think so.

if your country is cracking down on activists whilst protecting corporations, please know that this is absolutely what the rise of fascism looks like and you should be doing all you can to remove them... or else one day, you will wake up and realise that you have become their next target.

"I don't think corporations should be allowed to destroy our planet" "ah, I don't do politics" do you hear yourself?

"Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshiping." - Hubert Reeves.

I find the idea of heaven borderline offensive to the miracle planet beneath our feet

after decades legal wins, faux-fur innovation, and tireless activism, the number of animals farmed for fur has fallen from over 140 million in 2014 to 20.5 million in 2024. minks, foxes, chinchillas and raccoon dogs are spared unimaginable cruelty.

how cool is this - young aspen trees are flourishing in Yellowstone thanks to wolves!! since their reintroduction, elk numbers have dropped and overgrazing has eased, allowing aspens to grow tall again. a living reminder that when predators return, entire ecosystems can heal.

another win! fossil fuels now power less than half of the Netherlands' electricity, down from over 80% in 2018. since the 2019 climate accord, wind and solar have soared from 14% to 45% of the grid. proof that political will and public pressure can transform an energy system in just a few years.

just a friendly reminder that every tree cut, every river poisoned, every coral reef bleached is a crime scene and the criminals wear suits.

if you ever feel heavy because you care deeply about injustice, suffering and ecological destruction, remember that a trillion dollar propaganda machine was built to make you numb and it didn’t work on you

I am sure that we are here to be stewards, not destroyers and so when I found out that blue whales have stopped singing because they are starving, it cut me so deeply we are not only failing ourselves, we are failing the very idea of life itself

this is awesome, development without bulldozing new roads!! in Yunnan, China, 16 giant drones lifted 180 tonnes of steel and concrete up a mountainside to build three power transmission towers for a solar project.

in South Africa, a bold new conservation effort is adding tiny, safe, and traceable elements into living rhino horns, aiming to roll it out nationwide.

the UK's biggest solar farm just switched on in Kent, adding 373 MW of clean power to the grid. once its 150 MW battery is finished, it will store enough energy to keep thousands of homes running when the sun goes down. more proof we can build the clean energy grid we need.

Bad news – the Atlantic ocean is already above 32°C and experts warn that all the factors are lining up for extreme cyclones

the fact that footage from animal agriculture isn't allowed on social media because it's "too violent" says a lot

it's time we stop calling the wealthy the "elite" they're not better than we are we need to change it to "the parasitic class"

every school should have a "fix-it lab" where students learn to repair their clothes, bikes and electronics. we should grow up knowing that not everything is disposable, that care and repair are part of living well on this planet.

ow my heart!! baltic ringed seals are making a comeback, from just 5,000 in the 1970s to around 25,000 today. hunting bans and ditching toxins like DDT gave them a chance to thrive again. it’s a quiet win for life, for persistence, and for choosing to protect instead of exploit. more of this!

a forest of the future is growing in Detroit. using DNA from ancient giants like 3,000-year-old sequoias, David Milarch is cloning the world’s strongest trees to help fight climate collapse.

simple solutions to big problems do exist

I really do think we should be more concerned by the fact that many billionaires are building bunkers bunkers with fortified security, guns, agricultural systems, antibiotics, fuel and enough resources to survive a very long time they are preparing for collapse

just a quick reminder that AI art is theft, produces a lot of pollution, and undermines one of humanity's best qualities

there's something so profound about the fact that blue whales are stopping their singing their silence grows as their hunger grows ofcourse a dying planet has less songs

the fact that an 'anti-conservation lobby' exists is dystopian

there's no real scientists debating about if climate change is real, the debate is about how long until absolute breakdown begins, how long before catastrophic suffering occurs, how long before mass death events etc.

I'm so tired of corporations ruling the world, as in, beyond exhausted. it's genuinely of the the worst ways to organise ourselves.

scientists and start-ups in the US are making devices that pull clean water straight from the air, even in deserts! they use special materials like hydrogels and metal-organic frameworks to catch water from the atmosphere.

the oceans are boiling through the most extreme and widespread marine heatwaves ever recorded with some lasting over 500 days and covering nearly the entire planet.

"Elon Musk’s increasingly controversial reputation among U.S. liberals has become so polarizing that it’s turning some away not just from Tesla, but from electric vehicles altogether." If the optics of one person can affect an entire industry, that person has too much power and influence.

"The US government has declared war on the very idea of climate change" Well of course. We are talking about some of the most evil, greedy sociopaths to have ever lived. The long-term health of an entire planet means nothing to them if they can squeeze a few extra dollars from short term profits.
