👀 An experiment in community podcasting took place last week. A group of environmental shows ALL released eps about masting (get it?). There's even a playlist where you can listen en masse!
It's time for a bumper crop of podcasts about (or inspired by) the perplexing phenomenon known as masting: where plants somehow synchronize their seed production across staggering distances.

What do you call it when a population of podcasts drop episodes on the same topic at the same time? It's Critical Mast!

Presenting a nutty experiment in community podcasting, with roots going back to the beginning of our FE (and our dedication to silly puns)

What does it means to have a relationship to land? To be or not be of a place? In other words, to belong or not?

With sadness and respect, we honor the legacy of Dr. Jim Estes, who passed away this week. A pioneer of marine ecology, Jim’s groundbreaking work transformed our understanding of ecosystems and the essential role of keystone predators like sea otters. He is an icon in sea otter research. 🧵👇

1) most social media platforms will suppress protest info
2) legacy media will avoid covering protests
3) surveillance state is on steroids
