So, it seems some folks in Maryland got a pro-data-center text tied to an out-of-state group known as “Interfaith action.” RNS’ own @alejacorazonhm.bsky.social did some digging, and it turns out to be tied to one faith leader. religionnews.com/2026/07/17/m...

Maryland residents got a pro-data center text linked to an ‘interfaith’ website. Who’s behind it?

(RNS) — When RNS identified the faith leader behind the text, the Rev. Derrick Green, he said, ‘We're really trying to get information out to people in real ways, in credible ways, so that people can ...

The allergy to religion that somehow still persists in various social sciences and humanities is itself a critical data point in understanding how we got into this mess.

Great example of what disaster researchers mean when we say "disasters are political." Disasters go beyond politicians and elections and boundaries to include the entire body politic.

Wildland fire is a political operation in the sense that it involves community-wide decisions and public funding. There are still many who have expectations that we will go in and fight all fires directly, that we will keep acres at a minimum, that we will have fires out before the next day. 3/

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

Suggestion: now would be a good time to hug an mis- and disinformation scholar. Especially those studying elite-driven bullshit from 2020 and 2021. Or anyone studying media and politics. Or US politics. Or democracy. Or race or gender or or or or or…

Like I’ve had multiple exciting conversations about a project that end with “amazing I’m looking forward to talking with Claude about this” and it makes me want to work exclusively alone forever so I am *sure* about chain of ideas

Unrelated to nearly everything - the hummingbirds are back! We've been in a low-key drought during this heatwave and hadn't seen the resident ruby-throated hummingbirds. Got a small amount of rain and they're back.

A little green hummingbird sits perched on a bright red hummingbird feeder. Probably a ruby-throated hummingbird according to the Merlin bird app. Water droplets from the first rain in a week cover everything except the bird. An out of control sage bush is just out of focus behind all the action. First sighting of the resident hummingbirds after a long week of hot and dry weather during the July 4 heatwave.

Always and forever, the people physically closest to a disaster will be the first responders. Your neighbour is who notices you missing and digs through the rubble to find you. Make connections. Build resilience.

Climate change is literally canceling US independence Day celebrations. The July 4 parade in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, has been canceled due to extreme heat. Heat waves aren’t new - what’s new is that climate change is making them hotter and more dangerous.

I was born well after 1976, and bicentennial ephemera was still everywhere in my small town in the ‘80s. I felt sad to have missed it! And now sad to have experienced this. I am left with only one option: Stay alive for the tricentennial.

Angus Johnston@angus.bsky.social · last mo.

It's hard to convey to someone who didn't experience it how culturally ubiquitous the bicentennial was at the time. Kids had red-white-and-blue SHEETS on their beds. Like many, many, many kids.
