Ilmi @ilmi.bsky.social · 04/10/2026What this thread fundamentally gets—something that clicked for me while working with Amazonian forest peoples in grad school—is that all identities, group or individual, are constructs. That makes them no less valuable, only more mutable, contingent, contestable, ephemeral. 030

Reposted by IlmiDavid Roberts @volts.wtf · 05/08/2026The IRA was good policy. And it would have been better -- and had faster & more dramatic results -- if not constrained & blunted by the idiosyncratic assholery of one dimwit egotistical senator.
