I found a dead ant embedded into the bottom of my bar of soap yesterday, so I think I'm allowed to say that I wash my face with the blood of my enemies

[Molly Mirhashem @mollyshirreen]

Earyn Mcgee (aka @Afro_Herper) is on a mission to build a more inclusive scientific community—and find some very sneaky lizards along the way 🦎

it was a joy to work with @erineberger on this piece about Earyn and her work: https://t.co/jyGTYbjb3M

[Audubon Society @audubonsociety]

A new book by Jessica Hernandez, Ph.D. (@doctora_nature) makes the case for environmental science through an Indigenous lens. https://t.co/bnrijAyVZE

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

Yes!!! This is such a long time coming and I'm so proud of my former colleagues right now. Rooting for y'all every step of the way!!

[Outside Union @outsidemagunion]

Since the start of @outsidemagazine almost 45 years ago, we’ve been providing intrepid coverage of those who dare to push the limits of what we think is possible. So today, we are proud to announce that the Outside magazine editorial staff is forming a union with @CWAunion.

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

Earyn took time out of finishing her PhD (!) to talk to me about making science more inclusive AND how she spots sneaky lizards. She truly does it all!! (Currently on newsstands and online soon!)

[Dr. Earyn McGee, Lizard lassoer 🦎 @Afro_Herper]

Thank you @outsidemagazine! @erineberger you wrote an amazing piece and @cassidy_araiza this photo is epic!

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

Hello, please let me tell you about my Grand Unified Theory of Scary Worms https://t.co/EjncrE548x

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

It's a big week people! Spend some time with this very smart series from Sophie and co! Including an essay in which I asked some very smart people if reading cli-fi just makes me a nihilist and they made me feel HOPEFUL!

[Sophie Murguia @sophiemurguia]

@emmadries Next up in our cli-fi week: I loved working with @erineberger on this piece about why we keep reading apocalyptic climate fiction in an increasingly apocalpytic world.

so proud of Otis 🥲 he worked so hard for this 🥲 he's contractually obligated to live forever 🥲

[Outside Magazine @outsidemagazine]

In honor of Otis and his big day, here’s @erineberger waxing poetic on our champion back in 2018. https://t.co/pmqU8D3hhU

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

If you’ve made it this far, you can meet my sweet dog, who is quite literally upstaging me as a model in the current issue of Outside!! (in a package edited by @kelseyalindsey !) See you in another six months?

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

Whoops, haven’t tweeted in six months because it makes me anxious! ANYWAY, seemed reasonable to get back on here and share that uhhh I had some problems with Gretel Ehrlich’s new book…… (thank you @sophiemurguia for the thoughtful edit!) https://t.co/2jmqpyQbYU

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

AND the latest issue of Preservation Magazine, where I wrote about how Las Vegas (NM)’s historic buildings and their keepers are faring in pandemic times. Online here:

@beccaworby @AbigailWise I am HONORED to be part of your fat bear journey!!

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

For the @nytimes (!) I wrote about those WPA-style national park posters you know and love—specifically, how the originals were dumped or forgotten, before a park ranger/backcountry dentist found one while cleaning a barn and decided to hunt down the rest https://t.co/70YhRVRVFm

[Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor @KeeangaYamahtta]

I wrote this about the uprising, the state of our politics, and the way out. https://t.co/7ptzTkBXyX

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

@blairbcalla @CallaghanPeter let the record show i totally figured out it was a giant stonefly (by cheating on the internet) without cheating (by looking at the replies)

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

@mollyshirreen @luke_w_whelan I think we all know why I have so much time to finish 600 pg novels, but I don't know what scott's excuse is!!!

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

I've now cut my own bangs (thrice), my boyfriend's hair, and my dog's butt hair. Soon I'll regain the level of chaotic confidence I had at 5 when I chopped my own bangs the night before my ballet recital, then rolled in without learning any of the choreography

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

C Pam Zhang's 'How Much of These Hills Is Gold' is a mythical western steeped in the history of Chinese-American immigrants. It's one of the best books I've read all year, which is especially meaningful this year when every day is a month long https://t.co/4CiF3MVTw9

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

Self-promotion feels weird for the foreseeable future, BUT if you're looking for distraction and a way to support a great magazine—the latest issue of @highcountrynews is about our changing winters, including a story by me about a delightful NM sport: https://t.co/PQpYVtoOgk

[Erin Berger @erineberger]

I am sorry to say I'm going to be hounded by fancy vitamin ads for the rest of my life after researching this. I am sorrier to say the gummy ones do look tempting. Thanks for the assignment @chris_cohen_ ! https://t.co/DsgtZbCHag
