Voting closes for Wildlife Photographer of the Year on the 29th!
Escape into the beauty of the planet we all parent AND celebrate talented photographers? Yes, please!

FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.

Interesting to observe my high-achieving 16-year immediately chuck college promotions from universities in red states.

America elected a right-wing authoritarian so we all know what that means: Time to pre-emptively blame the organizers and activists who are the best chance to stop him.

Another cool/quiet win in this rule: a 30% tax credit (+10% in energy communities and +10% with domestic content) for businesses that install thermal storage. That includes heat pumps at industrial and commercial buildings if they're set up to help time-shift energy use.

The lock screen on my windows-based PC just told me that "students, parents and educators are embracing AI at every level." Ya think? Could it possibly be because of the persistent coercion? Basically fanning the flames of climate change, and we have no opt-out. Gross.

Getting a detailed blow-by-blow of Mark Rober’s latest video (he makes a satellite ans sends it to space on a spacex rocket to take a selfie?)…. And now my 9-yo is asking whether Elon Musk is a bad guy. I think I’m going to pour myself a very small glass of wine.

I am not prepared for the speedy onset of this holiday season.

I’m scrambling to keep up with the bar I set for myself at work last year. Last year’s me was so organized !

In the post-disaster chatter, there hasn’t been enough talk about the consequences for climate action. This podcast episode gets the conversation started.

Powerful day in Oxford OH celebrating folks who built their own homes with Habitat. Hoping Trump administration doesn’t blow up the Inflation Reduction Act— those rebates are key for keeping utilities affordable in homes like these.

Got too busy last week to be on the @citizensclimate.bsky.social monthly call— but am watching it now and am writing Biden, my MOC etc. and it feels SO GOOD. Highly recommend watching. If you aren’t a member, join!

If you were thinking about getting an EV with the $7,500 IRA tax credit, do it before Trump is inaugurated.

This is helpful. Not how I was hoping to spend the holidays… but here we are.
