Staggered by how much love the quoted post received…

I said this at the James Hutton event at the @royalsoced.bsky.social earlier this week; call it what you want (geology, geoscience, Earth Science, etc, ad nauseum…), but talking less about rocks will likely do wonders for the future of geoscience…

This looks great 👍🏾 For early career researchers and more experienced researchers alike 😊

Though oak can often act as a pioneer in natural succession to woodland, it also takes advantage of the conditions created by other trees. In this case, young birch and willow. Additional woodland components are already moving in too: hazel, holly, violet, wood sorrel... Thus is an ecosystem born.

The Labour party is filled with blackmailed individuals. Kick them all out.

My climate philosophy

Overheard yesterday, and can‘t get it out of my head: „The confluence of AI and the transition to renewables marks the first time that Europe experiences an industrial revolution only as a spectator.“

"Change the stories individuals and nations live by and you change the nations and individuals ... If they tell themselves stories that face their own truths, they will free their histories for future flowerings." - Ben Okri

Whoever stole our ability to use Microsoft Office, I will find you. You have my Word.

Our new paper on the challenges of marine CO₂ removal has a pretty figure. Please admire it. 🌊🧪

Bluesky loves fake AI climate sloplutions so much ❤️💖🥰

#WorldEnvironmentDay might be wrapping up, but the climate challenge isn’t. Neither is the growing movement of people, cities and countries taking action. This is just a glimpse of the action, ideas and momentum driving climate action around the 🌎. Let’s keep it going #NowForClimate: bit.ly/4dSIYQJ

lol wtf are these ai ads?! turn this whole thing off. before this it wss pregnant polygamous mermaids 😭

I keep going to events that are described as queer parties at club, in the hopes that a cute girl will be impressed with my dance moves, decide to dance with me, and eventually offer to make out with me, but man, this strategy is not working so far

i have never played past like, the first level of any video game. i am pretty much a video game virgin.

did you know that squirrels give each other little kisses? and hugs?

I somehow managed to get myself emotionally invested in the Spurs at exactly the wrong time.

It’s said regularly on here but it’s true: New Yorkers are some of the kindest folks you will ever meet, for real.

Yeeeeeeeah dirty acoustic blues with Scott Biram (sound up!)

Phew, my Knicks in 4 prediction is still alive!

So evil. Amazon will let you watch the first five episodes of Fleabag for free and then it it forces you to upgrade/pay to see the season finale.

this is pathetic loser stuff

16:40 on a Friday afternoon, there were 4 ebikes, a motorcycle, a pedestrian and a transit rider waiting at the bus stop on this corner. We took up so little space compared to the cars backed up for 200'. But we represented about the same number of people

I miss the days when adding an “e” to “potato” is disqualifying.

Update: SoFi workers have voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, "meaning workers could walk off the job at any moment if their demands are not met." Negotiations continue Monday — but the first World Cup game at SoFi is one week from today

Graham Platner, at a packed #GOTV rally in Bar Harbor Maine, explained the vital need to pursue change from the bottom up, through community. An emotional moment came when he honored his wife Amy. 1/2

Yesterday we got to join our County Executive Sara Innamorato for the signing of her Executive Order on Advancing Clean Technology for Neighborhood and Next Generation Opportunity and Workforce (ACT NOW). Climate and clean energy policy at the state and local level can have a big impact.

We can’t solve any of our big problems, including climate change, without doing this.

“There’s no safe place, and I want New York to be a safe place,” Ms. Gabriel said. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/n...

All this latest news reads so much like the final chapter of the mad king story -- isolated, deranged, abandoned even by longtime loyalists -- but ... the dude has got two full years left.

They had the chance to print money by making a veggie McRib and extending breakfast to 12PM. But no, they didn’t.

Umm, guys, is there some sort of soccer thingy happening soon?

Raúl was a friend and mentor to so many folks across the world. He helped me selflessly. Here’s one of many tributes, this from @busbyj2.bsky.social. Folks in academia ahould selfishly think about how they want to be remembered and live their lives like Raúl. www.duckofminerva.com/2026/06/rest...

Elephants belong to a taxonomic clade we call 'Tethytheria', with members all having forward looking eye sockets, similar teeth, ear structures & internal testes rather than a scrotum. But what elephant relative has a FOOT that looks like THIS?

I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago and I'm like 95% sure I'm not autistic but then a customer comes into the Map Center and calls my store a Cavendish Space, cites a website called "Stim Punks," and makes me feel naked and extremely called out. stimpunks.org/glossary/cav...

Omigod, I'm late for choir practice!

Sometimes it seems like the stock market is an inverse indicator of the health of the economy. Stock prices skyrocket with the economic destruction caused by Trump's tariffs and war, and then fall precipitously when there is a good job report. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/b...

Yeah but if you rotate it on its Yaxis…

Friend's Photo from the tour. Literally Transparent

Mainstream media's choice to focus on the "middle" rather than the "truth" is the main reason for its downfall. Appeasement and pandering ≠ Trust. Choosing truth over convenience does.

This is a longer range model showing the range of possibilities. Analogous to Hurricane track prediction "spaghetti" plots. FWIW, the US models are predicting on the lower end of the European (ECMWF) ensembles shown here. El Niños disrupt rainfall needed for crops around the world. 🌍

This is a depressing update. Earlier this year I got on a call with a WordPress rep who reached out after I imported my 1k+ Substack subscribers. One of the things I told him was that they need to give *writers* the option to turn AI tools off. All of them. Preferably with one box.

Buying SpaceX stocks is funding fascism.

Big Tech is learning fast, but nobody "speaks FERC" like the utilities do: www.eenews.net/articles/how...

The historian & national treasure @hcrichardson.bsky.social has recently commented on the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) debacle too, while also saying that "the science of oceans & ocean currents is TOTALLY COOL," + vital even if not living on the coast! www.youtube.com/live/kH5oSY7... 🌊 🦑 🧪

Does Canada Need an Oil and Gas Planning Agency? Many other resource industries require long-term planning for production, transport, etc. Why not oil and gas? Why do oil sands co.s get to expand as fast as they want, then demand a pipeline? #abpoli youtu.be/C_G48Az7vHE

If you needed more proof that the data center backlash is real and intense, @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social’s latest for the Heatmap Daily newsletter pretty much sums it up. Read all about our latest polling results here: heatmap.news/daily/data-c...

After the record-smashing warm years of 2023 and 2024 for ocean temperatures across the tropical Atlantic, we've perhaps become numb to just how warm it still is in 2026. As of May, it's the 3rd-warmest on record, going back to 1850 (2024 was 1st, 2023 was 2nd, 2025 was 4th).

The race for second place is not over yet. With hundreds of thousands of votes yet to be counted, “I think she has a shot at catching Pratt but I think it's a long shot,” said Yaroslavsky of Democratic Socialist candidate Nithya Raman. laist.com/news/politic...

Households typically pay electricity prices 2-3 times higher than the prices paid by big industrial customers. While *some* discrepancy makes sense - it's cheaper to interconnect one 1 MW customer than a hundred 10 kW customers - many companies have also locked in sweetheart deals with utilities.

Why make things up (Pig flow image is not real. I maintain that cute curved butt would create turbulence) when cool REAL things exist? Like this aerodynamic cow blogs.sw.siemens.com/simulating-t...

AFP’s exposé points to a jaw-dropping conflict in an investment portfolio for a nation that is quite literally disappearing as a result of climate change. It is also public-minded journalism at its best. today.rtl.lu/news/world/f...

Yeah, our autonomous AI robotic future is going great.

fuck AI because you can pry my em dash from my cold, dead fingers

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month! Mindful that biology has been weaponized against the LGBTQ community by people who don’t know much about biology, I’m making daily, queer, biologically themed posts for #PrideMonth2026 6/5: Clownfish populations are led by trans females.

This is another direct, impeachable assault on the Constitution.

A record-breaking 28% of new cars sold this year will be battery-powered, according to new data from the International Energy Agency.

Once again, @brianbeutler.bsky.social is the only one I hear talking about this key dynamic: the more corrupt the GOP & its lackeys on the court get, the more they have to lose if the elections go the wrong way & the more they'll be willing to do to prevent it.

I have a feeling I'm going to be posting these a lot over the next few months. Which do you prefer? A or B?

I attended American Diabetes Association conference in Boston in 2014 as a member of the press. Fast forward 12 years and, shockingly, America has fallen to far-right thugs. Like the Nazis they’re modelled on, US fascists target academia & free speech. Resistance is crucial.

Screw around and find out? From August 2025: "Former officials with experience in screwworm eradication warned that the Trump administration’s work force reductions and cuts to agricultural research could complicate its attempt to stamp out the parasite."

Extremely excited for this new double album from one of my favorite bands!

I sat down with @kimcobb.bsky.social to ask- what's the latest? Here's what we talked about ⬇️ ❤️ Clean energy growth 😱 Concern over climate tipping points 🤝 How conversations help drive action Watch on Substack or Patreon: www.Talkingclimate.ca/kimcobb www.patreon.com/talkingclimate

Leading my newsletter The Fight today: New @heatmap.news polling finds a clear majority of registered voters — 61% — support a national AI data center moratorium. This is bipartisan: more than half of both Democrats and Republicans support the idea when asked.

coworking with friends and i finally wrote the first chapter of my new book and my friend elisa GAVE ME A STICKER i am a simple girl. will work for stickers.

Elected officials who have been wary about supporting a data center moratorium, take note: 61% of Americans now support one. Get more from @jael.bsky.social in THE FIGHT: heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...

my last word on this subject for now is that it was way cooler to be seduced by the 1990s "got milk?" propaganda by hot/cool people posing with milk mustaches than by protein bros on tiktok. just saying!

Plug-in batteries popping up more & more often on Kickstarter & the like.

it is so heartbreaking that my favorite coffeeshop to work at, vibes wise, has the most unstable wifi

the key to being a master of language is realizing that communication is the function and that as long as people can understand what you’re saying you are doing it right
