The dolphins are getting Alzheimer’s from algae blooms
caused by warming waters and toxic runoff
and you could see the bloodstains in Sudan
from space.
The cobalt is mined by children
and the music is made by robots
and the grownups are wondering
where the fireflies went.

I'm not far from here, and there is precisely one way to safely take pictures of polar bears: by drone.
*Everyone* who works in the Arctic knows this. People up here don't open carry 50 cal rifles in the winter for shits and giggles–humans are very much on the menu for polar bears.

The comments to this post are absolutely delightful.
So @jamaila.bsky.social just popped up in our discord with a screencap asking a very important worldbuilding question:
Could a vampire policeman enter my house if they had a warrant?
I mean clearly the answer is NO, but I am willing to entertain counter-arguments. 🤣

The comments to this post are absolutely delightful.
He was the first Inuk to sit in the NWT Legislature.
He had a major role in the Berger Commission that was instrumental in Arctic land claims.
He led Project Surname to help the Inuit obtain surnames rather than government disc numbers.
This is the story of Abe Okpik.
