Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring was published OTD in 1962. “[W]e have now acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature. But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.” 🌱🐋 # HistSTM 🧪🌎 #philsci #philsky #WomeninSTEM

Very excited that our books will be at the PNBA Fall Tradeshow in Spokane! Huge love to @everickert.bsky.social and Thornapple Press for inviting Nine Ten to share their table (#27!). (I won't be there myself, which makes me especially grateful for this arrangement.) www.pnba.org/2025-exhibit...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Canada once again looking good only by comparison to the USA.

The other night I wanted to do an IG live, and it turned out I couldn't because you now need 1,000 followers to do that. I have 943. Consider giving me a follow to help me get to 1,000? www.instagram.com/everickert/

Exciting! Hope you love it! 🤩

I just sent this out. The Jewish people have moral frameworks for this moment. It is a choice not to heed them. Please let us meet this moment, let us see the shattered Temple around us, right now, and our responsibility to it.

Swallowing my jealousy to share this incredibly lucky spot. Leatherback sea turtles are endangered in Canada, and very infrequently seen around here. This one was probably cruising through to eat some jellyfish when somebody got to see it. 🐢🌊

hi

It has come to my attention that I have friends who have not been properly informed that there are numbats in the world. (Images from Perth Zoo and Project Numbat. Links in descriptions.)

If we want men to be less lonely, we should start by socializing them in boyhood to be part of a shared project of care. Give them dolls, toy kitchens, and tea sets. Ask them to help care for younger children. Expect them to clean up after themselves. Let them feel the work and value of care. 1/

Where we are as a country: "The funding in the bill will make ICE the largest jailer in the world, with $200 billion at their disposal." newrepublic.com/article/1975...

Honestly one of the best reasons I can give you to plant native plants right now is that everything fucking sucks & a lot of it feels (or is) totally out of our control (depending on who you are). One thing most people can do is plant a plant and then look at bees happily sipping on it.

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks

I will say it again like I’ve said 100 times before: one of the most radical things you can do right now to show solidarity is put back on a N 95 or better mask anytime you are outside with people. It is a small signifier that you are invested in community and its health.

As the old joke goes, an American diplomat and Soviet diplomat met up, and the American says "I really admire your country's propaganda." The Soviet says, "True, it is good, but it is nothing compared to American propaganda." The American, confused, responds "We don't have propaganda."

ICE crossed a line in LA

These guys are getting shit pay, plus, their orders are for 29 days so they don’t get benefits. Also, it’s clear ICE is starting shit and hoping LAPD/LASO save them. Use that for our side. Why should random beat cop/guard dude be out fixing messes the Feds (who get to leave and get more $) make?

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.

Remember to shut the fuck up. Tell your family and friends to shut the fuck up. Don’t out/id protesters, intentionally or unintentionally. Wear a mask.

Worth noting LBJ used the National Guard to protect and expand civil rights; DJT is doing exactly the opposite.

Michelle Douglas was an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces with an exemplary service record. Then, in 1989, she was suddenly dismissed because she was "not advantageously employable due to homosexuality". Her court case changed Canadian history. This is her story. 🧵1/10

“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.

Big news: The Trump administration has essentially proposed shutting down tribal colleges and universities, displacing more than 20,000 students. My latest for ProPublica:

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

like, Musk should be treated as if he went around a children's ward and just strangled every single child to death. because that's pretty much what he did, multiplied by a few million.

I hope he gets a competing offer from another country and comes back and obliterates the UK team in the Olympics. (Or barring that, a sweet sponsorship offer from an underwear company.)

This is violence. It’s eugenics. It’s fucking evil. And the worst part is it’s gonna get very little attention and most people aren’t even gonna notice cause y’all have simply moved on.

I am looking for organizers, activists, union reps, librarians, teachers, mental health professionals, charity workers, & journalists to check out my upcoming book on sustainable activism! I’m hoping to get some meaningful comments from people in a variety of fields. If that’s you, please email me!

Apologies for yelling, but— SCOTUS COULDN’T DO ITS JOB BECAUSE TOO MANY JUSTICES HAVE BOOK DEALS WITH A PARTY IN A CASE

Oh this sweet baby should have toys and not rocks 💔 help Traji and Aya

As many have pointed out, given that ICE frequently obscures their faces/refuses to ID themselves while they’re kidnapping people I’m honestly surprised assaults are only up 400% (if that stat is real). Assaulting an unidentified kidnapper in the act should be considered a rather common reaction.

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Just having my coffee with some particular thoughts swirling around my head so this may not be concise (I'm tired) but bear with me. Something I've said before is that if you're publishing your writing, then your work will be read by humans and therefore you need HUMAN feedback during the process.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! Have you taken three minutes to save the political independence of the civil service? It’s easy! Here’s how you can do it: news.chanda.science/archive/urge...

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it! 🤩

Science friends, I've become kinda obsessed with time lately: what it is, how it started, what we know about it (and don't). What are some resources you'd recommend on the science and philosophy of time? Books or papers to read (especially <10 years old), people or hashtags to follow, etc.? 🧪
