Today, the acting head of FEMA, David Richardson, resigned from his position. His "total lack of emergency management experience should have been disqualifying on its own. But his absence during the tragic Texas flash flooding this summer…should’ve been the last straw," said UCS's Shana Udvardy.

“Culturally deaf activists and thinkers tend to describe being deaf as distinct from disability; to them, deaf people are a linguistic minority like Arabic or Vietnamese speakers in the United States; the disadvantage is structural rather than intrinsic.”

📢NEW: @ucs.org finds that most of the nation’s affordable homes were in counties exposed to 1 or more weeks’ worth of heat alerts in 2024. Major metropolitan areas account for about 1/3 of the affordable housing exposed and thousands of counties in less densely populated areas account for ~2/3.

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation.
But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

🔥🌎 This week in Danger Season, wildfires are spreading across the western US and southwestern Canada. Activity is expected to stay high through fall, especially in CA. Longer seasons and year round fire risk are just one way climate change is reshaping daily life.

My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again.
So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels.
