👋 Hi! I’m a climate scientist. I share good news about solutions, not so good news about how climate change is affecting us, and endless ideas of what we can do to build a better world together – because hope begins with action. Looking for more? I curate a climate feed and a ton of starter packs ⬇️

This is going to *very* important, and *very* hard. It’s not just turning the money spigot back on. The US private sector partners are gone, the local partners are gone, the infrastructure’s gone, the expertise has been scattered. It’s going to require a major, ground-up rebuild. Sign me up.

We need a strong political campaign to get the Democrats to fight hard to bring back USAID funding - which would save huge numbers of lives globally. (And I’d really like to be involved with that - if you’re working on this organizing or know someone who is, please let me know!)

New World screwworm cases in US animals jump to 113 Infestations with the parasitic fly have now been reported in 3 states: Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Read more: https://bit.ly/3UwLkxL

We need to get money out of politics and put it back where it belongs inside birthday cakes

reminder to my everyone to not admit to doing federal crimes (like illegal drugs, including drugs that states may have legalized) publicly online especially if you have any sort of involvement with the feds (not limited to: legal cases, investigations, employment, receiving benefits, etc.)

There should be an Ashley Madison-type leak where wives find out which is their husbands have lost their kid’s college funds betting on Ken fucking Paxton

BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom commutes all 548 death sentences in California to life without parole, saying he opposes "state-sanctioned killing."

Saw someone refer to a cybertruck as the "PT Loser" and yeah that's gonna stick.

All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

Vivek acting like he's not used to women not taking his calls is hilarious

"This morning, Vivek Ramaswamy told Newsweek that when he called Dr. Amy Acton to concede the Ohio Governor’s race, she didn’t pick up the phone. She’s been called petty, rude, and, she "breached etiquette." What I see is a woman with agency choosing who deserves her time and conversation.

They are Don Draper, babes.

If you have Pick Me tendencies, please trust me as someone who has presented to literally 10000s of men: They are not thinking of you unless you're in the damn room and being forced to acknowledge you. Stop going to bat for the inclusion of men who literally never even consider you.

When I do prevention in men's spaces, they have never once asked me about the experiences of women, how XYZ impacts women, etc. When I do that same work with women, WHO ARE THE MOST LIKELY TO BE HARMED, there is always a handful of women saying "Men get abused, too!" or "What about men?"

In honor of short books, if you wrote or read a trans novel or novella 300 pages or under, tell us about it and why we should read it! 🏳️‍⚧️ 📚

Probably should not take advice from people in institutions that IMMEDIATELY capitulated and collaborated with the fascists. This includes pundits and reporters in media.

blue tsunami, maga influencers crying, pete hegseth getting fired, and now russell brand going to prison. if It happens soon, i honestly think im going to lose my mind

We do not want "back to normal," we want Better Than You Ever Dreamed.

Everytime I hear “no political retribution” I think of our country blowing up fishing vessels in the Caribbean and then going back to kill the survivors. Until now, the republicans have owned that unspeakably evil behavior. If the democrats do nothing about it, they are collaborators.

Reminder that when you buy your stickers from Sticker Mule you’re directly contributing to fascism. Go with Sticker Ninja, StickerApp, Standout Stickers, you have so many other options, you just have to look. Don’t be lazy. “I didn’t know, I’m not very online” is no longer a valid excuse.

The most vile new Trumpofascist in Congress will be Andrew Constantino, the Sticker Mule guy from #NY21.

Currently reading The Secret History by Procopius, an unpublished work by famed Roman historian written around 550AD. He claims it is the complete, uncensored, absolute truth, that the Elites don't want you to hear. A non exhaustive list of things he has complained about

Finally got a copy! It's a read for those thinking about where the Dems can go with health policy. It’s about projects growing out of Eastern European democracy-building, and a lot of that is translatable and gives a sense of what it means for health to be a right sarasilverstein.org/for-your-hea...

My top line takeaway from the election is up: NOBODY HAS TO BE LEFT BEHIND. It turns out we DON’T have to sacrifice trans kids to win. We DON’T have to deport our neighbors. We DON’T have to support abusers with Nazi tattoos. We can just *have principles* and win. My latest in @thenation.com

Actually, Democrats Don’t Have to Sacrifice Trans People or Immigrants to Win

For two years, leading Democratic factions have insisted the party must abandon key populations to win. Tuesday proved them wrong.

Hi, doing this to an artist is FOUL. We’re fighting so hard against people ripping off our writing to train AI, the very LEAST we can do is protect other creative folk.

An author that I made five covers for in a series used ai to clone my style and generate a sixth cover. This is the third time this happened to me this month with long-term clients. I am sick with rage

The guy who allowed Wall Street and the real estate industry to go entirely unpunished and unregulated following a devastating industry crash created by unscrupulous practices and gave them *our* money to survive, thus setting the stage for them to go right back to it? Or literally anyone else?
