The Ojai City Council in California has passed an ordinance recognizing the "right to bodily liberty" for elephants. This is the first time a U.S. law grants a specific, enforceable right for nonhuman animals.
@jorie_graham Yes. Always this poem. Taught Keats’s ‘To Autumn’ this semester, then Inua Ellams’s response and climate poem ‘To John’ written for To Autumn’s 200th year.

Finally out! 1st diagnosis of the entire Planet. All the 9 Planetary Boundaries quantified defining Our Safe Operating Space on Earth. Bad news: 6 of 9 PBs breached. Good news: Window still open, we know what to measure, we can return and we win if we do! https://t.co/izhFV0OMrF

Blown away by this amazing story of a Canadian- American reporter's underground journey to Europe with Afghan refugees. As an account of marginalized & vulnerable lives it belongs up there with Orwell's 'Down and Out' - except that @mattaikins took even greater risks. Must read.
I look forward to articles by @NYTimes science reporting fellow Katrina Miller - they are always so good! Today’s is about an octopus nursery on thermal vents with beautiful underwater footage https://t.co/ib5FNeMzOW
@amycutler1985@Meta I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know someone at Meta. He’s not on the social media side but could find out whom to contact. DM me if you still need help and I’ll connect you. Good luck!
