If you live in N. America, food you eat is probably grown in the orange “major heat risk” strip in California's Central Valley. The heat threatens crops, farmworkers & our entire food system. This is our planet at 1.2 degrees of warming yet California is STILL approving new oil wells. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

From top to bottom: fuck AI. Its entire use case is "I'm too cheap to pay for someone to do this right, so I'll use the plagiarism machine to give me an inferior knock off instead". But unlike undergrads pretending they aren't cutting and pasting from Wikipedia, it's also a climate disaster.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

There are already some big wildfires burning out there and the entire western US is under a combination of heat and red flag (fire weather) warnings

The destruction of climate Twitter is tragic - a vibrant free, professional and networking resource and knowledge based for researchers, policy wonks, activists, politicians, public and journalists. Check @katharinehayhoe.com thread on ideas about expanding a BlueSky community.

People who believe nothing you post has impact- have no idea how to use a platform & they may also have an interest in discouraging you from speaking out. Online activism matters. Look at what they did to Twitter. Twitter was previously one of the most important communication tools on the planet.

Y'know all those fossil fuels that we extract and burn? They have consequences.

This just infuriates me. The risk of Covid may well be rising but lack of reporting disguises that fact. With a disease this dangerous and deadly, what possesses the government, state and federal, to stop reporting incidence of the disease. www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/...

A lack of data may be hiding a summer COVID wave in CT: 'There is an ostriching that is going on'www.ctinsider.com With a lack of statewide testing data now, a wave of COVID infections may be hitting CT and many may not realize it until there's a surge in hospitalizations.

A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes. It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

Instead of using the new king powers to prevent the fascism immediately, joe biden is going on tv to try and prove to voters he doesn't need to wear a diaper, so they'll vote for him, so, I'm led to presume, he can prevent the fascism

❤️ For those who don’t know, your history books show you Black Panthers with guns. But mostly, they were building essential community support systems to feed, educate & provide care. And that’s what the white power structure couldn’t tolerate.

The Black Panther Party learned that sickle cell anemia was a neglected genetic disease affecting mostly people of African descent. Although disease had been known since 1910, it attracted little govt attention and even less funding. So the Panthers set up a screening program. #BlackSky #Disability

What disturbs me most about liberals is that they don’t say, “what he’s doing is stunningly evil, but I feel I must support him”, they simply demand obedience while in a rage. This makes it clear they simply don’t care. They don’t even see that their mask has slipped.

If you see this, post a bird. 🎨 The play, 'La pie voleuse' by Théodore Baudouin d'Aubigny & Louis-Charles Caigniez provided the basis for the now better known Rossini opera, 'La gazza ladra' -- 'The Thieving Magpie.' Ink on either Arches hot pressed or Strathmore Bristol, 2015.

Watch SCAVENGERS REIGN. Watch CAROL AND THE END OF THE WORLD. Watch BLUE EYE SAMURAI. Watch PLUTO. Netflix needs to understand that *original animated series for YA/adults* have value beyond raunchy comedy. There IS an audience for it. They’ll keep canceling them unless they see those numbers.

Ageism is hiring a 25 year old instead of a better qualified 55 year old. It's not "ageism" to say that an 81 year old or a 78 year old might not be able to handle the world's most demanding job.
