Y'all got angels and demons
perched on yer shoulders?
I got nothing but doubt
and hope over here,
endless,
ephemeral,

bless 'em,
still got their dance to do.

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Beautiful piece from @kudelka.bsky.social, & I don’t know what to say that wouldn’t sound like demanding more (because it is our loss) except they’re very much words to take to heart.
