I have left X… like so many, I debated it internally and among friends and colleagues for years. Frankly, I should have left ages ago… I have a research account still for a project I’m finishing (@arcticjourno) but I plan to be more active here!

During trump 1.0, we had to pull down all of the climate change pages off the EPA website. Start archiving shit now, document, backup, photograph, whatever you need to do.
