I am a human being, like many others. I tweet about anti-oppression, the environment, and arts and culture. She/they

Well, Twitter, it's been fun. Dear Lord I've been too addicted to this place

1/ Just want to put this news in plain language for people.

Senior people at Twitter have resigned in the last 48 hours. We now now why. They said in private Slack channels that @elonmusk is so desperate to recoup his money, he’s taking crazy risks with YOUR privacy and safety.

The east coast was an extensively managed landscape when Europeans first showed up, not a massive unbroken forest. In my neck of the woods, it was called the Piedmont Prairie—a fire-controlled oak savannah with an unbelievable ecological carrying capacity.

MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.

For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

World's going to hell in a handbasket, so here's a poem.

[350 Canada @350Canada]

In the last week, 3 people, including 19 year old Devyn Gale, died fighting Canada's wildfires.

Our hearts are with the families of these heroes and our eyes are on our political leaders. Canada's actions must match the gravity of the climate crisis.

The Earth's average temperature had never exceeded 17C before the start of this week. It's now happened four times in a row. Yesterday, July 6th, was the fourth day of record global heat

Yeah, I'm on Threads, same name as on Instagram. I'm on BlueSky, mhm. Mastodon, too. I'm being info-mined like crazy. They've probably already built my AI-powered digital clone.

It's all a shame. But at least there are hummingbirds outside, and they don't care about any of this.

The big lie perpetuated by the 60s was that the lifestyle you choose is more important than what you do as a political actor. The big lie of now is that what identity position you're born into or choose to identify with is more important than what you do as a political actor.

If the estimate is correct, it takes 14 billion tonnes of olivine to remove 10 billion tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere. This is a CDR target for 2050.

We currently ship 11 billion tonnes of goods every year. Imagine shipping 14 billion tonnes of olivine on top of that.

In 2020, 53 Chicago high schools staffed 108 police officers.

This coming fall, 39 high schools will station 57 officers.

That's following a district initiative that allows campuses to "trade in" officers for staff such as social workers, restorative justice coordinators, etc.

When you take the "cis" out of "Christ", you are left with "HRT".

@BuildSoil It was convuluted for someone not familiar with these concepts and something I'll have to come back to in order to get it better

We need to figure out solidarity across experiences and identities more than ever now

Imagine, if they could do this to him [because he’s on a tape his friends recorded casually saying he’s knowingly hoarding still-classified military documents that he wished he could use to undermine his enemies], then they could do it to anyone
