Twitter's fall is stark
A wasteland of fire and wrath
Bluesky calm beckons

headed to #Bluesky: @jjopperman.bsky.social

In non-Haiku form, Twitter feels like a sinking ship chugging toward a waterfall w/ whatever buoyancy remains. Bluesky feels like paddling into calm waters

Not all floods are bad—some help prevent disasters. By restoring floodplains and giving rivers room to breathe, we can reduce catastrophic flooding, protect communities, and boost biodiversity. WWF’s @jjopperman explains in @Forbes: https://t.co/iwdtQLKbeL

Last month WWF's Living Planet Report showed dramatic ⬇️ of wildlife. Just recently, the Klamath River & its salmon were a sad example of that trend. But w/ biggest dam removal in history, Klamath is now an inspiring example that recovery is possible

New paper's Seussian abstract:

One food, two food, green food, blue food
This one is managed here
