Researchers conducting the first broadscale test for so-called PFAS in private and public water supplies found the so-called forever chemicals in 45 percent of the nation’s tap water, said the U.S. Geological Survey on Wednesday. (paywall) https://t.co/or04LpVw2D

@rebecca_altman Looking for an emoji that combines head exploding with crying with anger with fatigue. Then more anger. If it existed, I would insert it here.

Police killed environmental activist Manuel Esteban Páez Terán last week. For The Frontline, @yessfun reminds us that police violence is an environmental issue.

Do. NOT. Try. This. At. Home! Dan McCollister (@wehavethepeople) puts his face on the line (and on the burner) to show @StephenAtHome and @ColbertLateShow the power of induction stoves: https://t.co/hx7mNjmjZx

@yessfun @blackgirlinmain This is something I have struggled with as well. My middle ground is to confirm quotes over the phone or by email, w/o sharing drafts. This feels like it maintains journalistic integrity and treats sources ethically. Exceptions made for marginalized/vulnerable sources tho.

I wrote about seed-saving, doomsday prepping and motherhood for @Orion_Magazine in collaboration with @FERNnews. I worked on this baby for a long, long time and am both so grateful for the opportunity to write this and happy to share it with the world!
