I finally heard from my dad and stepmom in Asheville, NC. So grateful they’re safe. So many in the region are not. The scenes are devastating. This freak hurricane flooding is a climate disaster — far, far from the coast. If we do not act, these will only get worse.

I celebrate one year @GeorgiaTech this month! Grateful to spend much of my time writing about these students and this campus . This month, though, I focused on the cats🐈‍⬛https://t.co/EtMD2SyzYX

I'm trying to more consciously uplift solutions, stories of success, and evidence-based hope, yet... the emotions that NYC's orange skies invoke belong here too. Our fear anxiety, and rage, is valid. I only hope we don't normalize this and that more will join the movement.

[adam mahoney (he/him) @AdamLMahoney]

I wrote a short explainer on some connections between pollution, climate change, policing, & incarceration

Today I’m thinking about the people in rikers, located on a landfill & exposed to the wildfire smoke, + the people in NYC’s jail located on a barge

Orcas have sunk 3 boats in Europe and appear to be teaching others to do the same. Scientists think a traumatized orca initiated the assault on boats after a "critical moment of agony" and that the behavior is spreading among the population. https://t.co/zJdP8eHtQW

Scientists in New Mexico are giving dead birds a new life with an unconventional approach to wildlife research. https://t.co/JarcHhqw6G

[Anna Thonis, Ph.D.🦎 @annainthefield]

Please RT! Does anyone know of Master's programs in Wildlife Science (or related), ideally in the southeast US, that are still accepting applications? I have a fantastic student from PR looking for programs.

Before being expelled, Justin Pearson represented one of the most polluted districts in Tennessee

That area of Southwest Memphis is surrounded by toxic facilities, has a cancer risk rate 4x the natl average, & now has no representation in the state House https://t.co/vk1IVaBYKW
