Hey Boulder... Nobody is talking about it but my office on campus smells like smoke. Is there a fire on Flagstaff? There is nothing on @watchduty.org. Purple Air says campus AQI is 100, all around the rest of Boulder is 1-13.

We did it for you Dick Cheney

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

I know there's more imp things on here today, but anyone have folks/papers I could cite that support to this idea? "Hollywood and mainstream media’s narratives overwhelmingly focus on dystopian climate futures making interventions on what people think is possible more difficult."

time to unfollow teen vogue.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Unbelievable cruelty According to the federal judge who ordered the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits, there are more than enough funds to pay for the program in November But Trump refuses to do it Leaving the lives of 42 million Americans-16 million of them children-hanging by a thread

I cried twice today. Getting this message and then after I delivered the food. It was nearly gone after 7 folks took what they needed for the week so I know folks will be upset again that they didn't get any. #skobuffs #boulder

Grad students are struggling. If anyone wants to venmo me (SDofEarth) to keep buying from my farmers at the end of the market, I will put it to good use. If at CU Boulder, you can also bring me veggies & fruit. We have a Basic Needs Center, but many families can't access it for different reasons.

As an alumni of Syracuse University, it's appalling that they are capitulating against a right-wing campaign against Professor Farhana Sultana for exercising her first amendment rights. Do consider signing this letter calling on Syracuse University to reinstate her docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It's long past time for state and federal authorities alike to put an end to Stephen Miller's jerkoff fantasy of masked thugs kidnapping people of color off the street with impunity. Yes, there are Americans who want this. But they are a woefully small minority. Why are we still letting it happen?

I just finished judging my second year for a 12-17 yr old competition for @teachthefuture.bsky.social and I am so in awe of these kids. They are from all over the world and DOING things. After judging is complete I will share my faves ;) www.teachthefuture.org/ngfp-yv-awards

Reading a paper I wrote last year and glad to remember this- @ruha9.bsky.social reminds us to forge sisterhood like Tony Cade Bambara, Audrey Lorde, June Jordan, Alice Walker, bell hooks, Tony Morrison and more modeled for us. For those who want to change the world need each other.

You writing? Me too (I swear I haven't been here in at least a week!). Here is a playlist that is so good I listened twice. Iris Berkeley is always the best, and yay Electronic Air on @kgnu.bsky.social kgnu.org/shows/electr...

Boulder- this expires tomorrow- let the city of Boulder know your thoughts on how we should look in the future and make sure to take the BVCP survey... It is fun! polco.us/n/res/vote/b...

City of Boulder folks, and friends of Boulder, Sierra Club needs your help electing the best three candidates for council. Have $20? Have a few hours to help with lit drops in the city? We are gathering this weeken and deploying over the coming week. DM me for details! donorbox.org/sierra-club-...

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

I haven't logged in here for a few weeks and this is what I get for not being online... I may never know what this means...

If you follow Boulder politics, then this might surprise you because this is not the popular opinion in our city. I learned this through our one black city councilor who has asked council to divest or at least revoke consent and she has been treated horribly by the majority of council and mayor.

YAY! Follow and read Dr.Patton! One of the most talented writers and thinkers of our time on power, oppression, and how it links to children, race, and politics. She also has a great children's story about "Not My Cat".

I have seen how this ends. #startrek en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_Te...

Zohran Mamdani says he wants to freeze rent prices and make public busses free. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says Mamdani wants to impose Sharia Law and put a burqa on the Statue of Liberty. For busy New Yorkers, it can be hard to know who to believe.

Sometimes I think about how Japan is the same size as California but has 3x the population without a housing crisis

Ahem.

The #ICECHIP field campaign launched this weekend from Boulder after showing off the innovative instruments they’ll use to learn more about hail during the next six weeks. The team is already chasing storms and collecting data in Kansas. Follow along with their adventures @nsficechip.bsky.social

gallery placard affixed to this ludicrous $5.2 million townhouse they built across from my apartment.

Not sure how I missed following Dr.Costanza-Chock until now?! She is such an important voice in education, tech design, democracy, and futures!

The one person a woman is married to is more likely to kill her than all the illegal immigrants in the country combined and yet none of our laws or policies seem to recognize that fact

An X USER, to Grok: “Why are you launching into conversations about white genocide, unprompted?” 🤡

I was pleasantly surprised by the pro Palestine and Ukraine visibility in Oslo when I was there last summer.

trying to imagine the reaction to two planes falling off an aircraft carrier with kamala harris as president

It only took 3 months, but the GOP has succeeded in giving us Schrödinger's Constitution.

I have been thinking what is the answer to this? www.soulsista.com/titanic/bara... It is Joy Boulamwini, @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social @shamikalashawn.bsky.social, @ysolstar.bsky.social , it is AfroFutures. Thank you @foresight-institut.bsky.social for this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NUD...

I don't know where this would make sense in the states, but I dream about not having to suck on tailpipes while biking to work/school.

Science isn’t like tap water, you can’t just turn it on and off. It’s like an oyster: it builds over time until it eventually creates pearls. This sort of senseless destruction is going to haunt us for a long time.

Meanwhile, in Canada…

There's only one person who's allowed to enter someone's home without a warrant, and that is Santa.

I am looking forward to more research and analysis because my first instinct is, worry for the workers impacted AND... yay, let's reduce emissions. But also there is so much more to this... Keep talking about impacts and observations so our researches and journalists have good fodder!

I think this will happen with a lot of things. Folks will find substitutes or go without (we didn't need a lot of the things sold to us). I do not like how this will hurt workers. AND I am excited to see the emissions reduction from manufacturing, shipping, etc. Weird times y'all.

Researching (the use of media in) Algerian independence from France and how that applies to Palestinians (how I found this) and it is shocking how little I know. Nur Arafeh's forecasting plays out and it is informative. Depressing too. carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

I'm grateful for the chance to honor our departed pontiff—a title which means "bridge-builder."

Perfect for setting up #earthday and upcoming #mothers day celebrations...

They might lose their non-profit status tho. Because sharing is DEI... Sharing is anti-capitalist.
