The @ametsoc.org “State of the Climate” report for 2025 is out. From the Arctic Chapter: "The Arctic had its second-warmest year in the 126-year record. Surface air temperatures…are increasing at roughly three times the global average rate.” ametsoc.net/sotc2025/05T... #Arctic #Climate

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Hard conversations are also grounding conversations that help you find words, name emotions, and prepare for action. Like the conversation with Omar El Akkad, this interview with Claudia Rankine took my breath away. Asked me questions that I've been thinking about, but in a more alive way.

Outside oilgarchs want Alaskans to think we need them, but it's not true. Renewables are cheaper + faster to build, while fossil fuel execs are left asking for subsidies in order to stay competitive. It's time to invest in real energy solutions, not pipe dreams. www.newsminer.com/news/local_n...

“There is no sustainable agriculture without bees….” Standing among the hives on the damaged rooftop, al-Dabba says the bees remind him of the people of Gaza. “The bees are like the people here,” he says. “They continue working despite the hardship. They always find their way back to the hive.”

Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.

The use of extremely online memetic aesthetics to support far-right political goals is like something out of Walter Benjamin’s nightmares.

Before fascism had a name, it had a history. Final episode out tomorrow!

A thing you have always known can all of the sudden jolt you into a particular clarity: How ludicrous is my inherited story that the creator of all creation is any one gender. And. How incommensurable must be the worlds of children taught the one true god is their gender versus not.

In news of the mundane: I am stunned. Out of umpteen shades of white paint, the one I happened to choose is indistinguishable from what the previous residents of this house used.

NEW: Big Oil and Gas created the myth that natural gas is "clean" — despite knowing the health and climate harms of methane decades earlier than previously reported. A major CCI investigation exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing gas is a climate solution.

Yes. This. Is. Resonating. Teaching and writing in conservation back then, I got some flack for criticizing “footprints” for what sound like same plus an array of reasons within a “sustainability” framework, which I also critiqued….(Who or what is being sustained, by whom….? And round we go….)
