I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

It’s been said before, but it’s important that we plainly state that any fight against DEI anywhere is a fight for segregation.
It is white people plainly saying they do not want Black or brown people in the public square. Full stop.
Call it what it is.

Is there a follow up to “Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer” where he spirals into a deep depression after accidentally becoming indispensable at work and saddled with huge new responsibilities with no pay raise or promotion attached?

I recommend no fewer than 4 copies of any beloved book. A paperback for traveling and lending to friends, an eBook for reading with greasy snack fingers, an audio book so you know how the characters' names are actually pronounced, and a pristine hardcover to be buried with you like a pharaoh

After the shooting, someone said a lot of the CEO’s are afraid to return to work.
Read that and now think about how our school-aged kids feel!

“Abortion debt” is probably not a phrase you have heard. But post-Dobbs, it’s becoming more of a reality. And it’s only going to get worse.
That’s why @debtcollective.bsky.social is collaborating with frontline abortion funds and providers to eliminate and prevent $50,000 in abortion debt. 🧵

Mutual aid is not rooted in
generosity. It's rooted in community. I don't like when ppl see community building as selfless. Building community is necessary for both of us. It's crucial to your survival today, and it might be crucial to my survival a different day
