Just noting that my BES bosses asked me to change the display name of this account, because branding rules. #marketing #branding #business

Side gig news: Finished first draft of a new climate fiction novella, 10,000 Years to Earth. Going through revisions. Already engaged a dev editor. #writing #writingcommunity #scifi

The mood in the BES lunchroom darkened after this news. #climate #environment #science www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Yes, economics matter, but #Ford chickened-out on its EV truck, going backwards with a hybrid-like replacement. The Bureau buzz is very dark on this one. #EV #climate #environment apnews.com/article/ford...

Despite the good news in 2025, global warming is worse than we thought. #climate #environment #science www.cnn.com/2025/12/15/c...

Yes, there’s some good news on climate and protecting our planet. #climatechange #environment #goodnews www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Here's a new blog post written for my personal blog. The BES hierarchy signed off. I have to be careful what I do off-hours. #climate #writingcommunity #blogging jgfollansbee.com/2025/12/15/c...

Legislators in South Carolina will deny the science for climate change but accept the pseudo-science for chemtrails. The world is upside down. #climate #chemtrails #southcarolina www.postandcourier.com/politics/sou...

Raising the profile of the Bureau of Environmental Security #climate #writingcommunity #environment

California politics has always been shaped by the automobile.

Agents of the Bureau of Environmental Security specialize in interdicting oil smuggling vessels. In the book Carbon Run, Deputy Inspector Janine Kilel chases down a nuclear submarine converted by pirates into an oil tanker. #oil #Venezuela #Iran #China www.bbc.com/news/article...

The world is skating on thin ice. #climate

A local barista made this when he saw the tulip in the logo of the Bureau of Environmental Security. #writingcommunity #coffee #scifi

Gardeners, take note.

Even the admin of the Bureau of Environmental Security gets looped into getting the word out. I’m handing out information flyers at a night market in West #Seattle. #writingcommunity #authors

The Bureau of Environmental Security has welcomed the first participant in its new Citizen Council of Advisors! Check out the list at the link. To join this team, DM me or email the contact on the page. Thanks! #climate #writing #environment bureauofenvironmentalsecurity.com/about-the-bu...

The sea ice is going, but how long before Antarctica loses enough of its land ice to colonize it? #climate #arctic #environment

Then there's the problem of the loss of dark skies and interference with astronomical observations. But we need these satellites, right? #environment #space #astronomy

Launching the Bureau of Environmental Security website was the end of Act I. Act II is building an audience. First step was aligning all my social media accounts to the BES branding. Like my hat? #writingcommunity #authors #marketing

There's a kind of good exhaustion, when you've worked your a** off to make something happen, pushing boundaries along the way. I just hope all the hard work pays off someday. #writingcommunity #newreleases #workethic jgfollansbee.com/2025/11/28/b...

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm grateful for many things, despite the terrible things happening to our country, my immigrant neighbors, and the environment. I'll be having dinner with family and friends today at home. Best to you! #thanksgiving #writingcommunity #gratitude

Okay, the newsletter is queued up for automated delivery Friday morning. So is the fresh blog post. Social media and customized messaging in my manual queue. Added a couple of stragglers to my email list. The clock is ticking. #writingcommunity #newreleases #countdown

Astrum Earth shows what Earth will likely look like when all the ice on the planet melts (sooner than you think).

Working on an email announcement for a big #climate fiction project. Also a blog post, social media posts, and customized individual messages. If you want to get the inside scoop, the link below has a hint. #writingcommunity #announcements #newreleases jgfollansbee.com/fiction/clim...

Building a new website takes a lot out of you. I've spent the better part of four months writing and coding a new site to support my series Tales From a Warming Planet, and it's almost there. Stay tuned! #writingcommunity #climate #fiction

Yellowstone has long been a mecca for scientists studying how predators, like wolves and grizzly bears, affect everything from elk grazing to vegetation height. They are still debating how to make sense of what they’ve learned.

Been struggling with a #crime #short, but had a breakthrough. A minor character jumped up waving his hand. “Tell my story! Tell my story!” Not one to argue, I obeyed, and something useful came out. Lesson: Listen to your minor characters, not just the stars. #writingcommunity #writing

The reprieve this week for #Seattle filmmakers who value Harbor Island Studios teaches us that it's never too late to hold your elected officials accountable. The facility was within hours of having its funding cut. Creatives rallied to save it. Question is, can we keep it? 🎞️🎬 #film #movies

Thank you to the King County Council for giving Harbor Island Studios a second chance! The #Seattle #filmmaking community cherishes this valuable resource. 🎬🎥📝✍️🎼 #writingcommunity youtu.be/m9woyBjDjws?...

A lot of indie scifi authors have their own website, me included. But how many have sites built around their universes? I'm working on one. Who else is doing this? #writingcommunity #scifi #indieauthors 📚🪐

Just an extra note about today's paperback release: The ebook and audiobook versions of The Mother Earth Insurgency are also available via Amazon and Audible. I love offering all these great story experiences. #ebooks #audiobooks #newreleases amzn.to/3z9nlFm

We're live! The paperback of The Mother Earth Insurgency is published! Check out this exciting story of Nick Sorrows, an agent with the Bureau of Environmental Security.

Pro tip: Don't turn down an opportunity to exchange links with a fellow indie writer. Getting backlinks (links back to your site) is one of the hardest #SEO tactics to implement. There's so many benefits to this, saying No is self-defeating. #writingcommunity #marketing

The International Energy Agency continues to project that demand for fossil fuels will peak before 2030, if countries push forward on their climate goals.

Struggling a bit with a title for my new #climate fiction novella. Working title: "10,000 Years to Earth". Friend suggested, "Serial Planet Killers," which comes from a line of dialog. Which do you think is more compelling? #scifi #writingcommunity #WIP

Just a handful of days until the paperback of The Mother Earth Insurgency launches. It's a #scifi novelette with climate change themes, and it includes the first chapter of Carbon Run, a full-length novel. Can't wait until launch day, 11/6! #booksky 🪐📚 #newreleases

First drafts suck! Unless you just finished one. 😀 Got a draft for a 45K-word #scifi novella, working title "10,000 Years to Earth." Need to decide soon whether to trad publish or indie publish. 🤔 Got so much on my plate right now. What should I do? #writing #writingcommunity

More release news! On 11/6, I'll release the paperback of The Mother Earth Insurgency, book 1 of my climate fiction series, Tales From a Warming Planet. A government agent infiltrates a eco terrorist group bent on destroying a launch tower 20-kilometers tall. #newreleases 📚🪐 #scifi #booksky

Working on a “secret “ dossier for a villain character as a new reader magnet. Classified #intelligence assessment, interrogation transcript, unearthed photos, government records. Give me your email address and I’ll share it with you. Better than a sample chapter, IMHO. #writingcommunity #writing

Used to fun to hate on Dick Cheney. With the monsters in the White House now, he’s more like a kitten.

Theses clock changes have to stop. I’ve been dragging my ass all day and I’m scared the boss will notice. #clocks #time #jobs

Met yesterday with a #SCORE mentor, a former executive with an #ecommerce firm. He's a great sounding board for my newest project, a website inspired by my climate fiction series, Tales From a Warming Planet. Tagline: "Wear the gear. Join the team." More about the project later. #writingcommunity
