Someone described grief as a feral emotion to me yesterday. It is staying with me. Grief disrupts. It makes people uncomfortable. And yet, it triumphs, breaking social norms about how we're supposed to show up. It is wild.

For 30 years, Rosa Sauceda has lived in Laredo, TX, and boiled her water more times than she can count. She, like many across the country, are struggling to access #SafeAffordableWater. This #HumanRightsDay, watch the mini-doc from the #WECRCaucus below ⬇️ app.sosha.ai/s/fUUVmQzN

Need a break from the news? Here are a few quiet moments from our shoot in Laredo, Texas. We’ve been working on a new documentary about water, community, and the infrastructure that shapes life along the border.  More soon, but for now enjoy the zen!

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Dr. Jane Goodall’s passing has hit me hard. It feels so dark here right now and she was fierce in her conviction to keep hope at the center. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to do an event with her ages ago. She was a real one.

I’m traveling to Montana and Minnesota in October. It might be the most autumnal experience I’ve ever had to date. In SoCal our trees have two seasons: leaves and no leaves. Very excited for crisp air, water, mountains, and beautiful amber and vermillion foliage 🍁

Trying to follow all the raids in my little LA suburb has been exhausting. In case folks are curious, this is how widespread it was… today. And it’s not all of LA even pictured here. This is just the east part of the County in my neck of the woods.

#Groundwater is doing heavy lifting in the #ColoradoRiver Basin, but we’re using more than we replenish. New data shows most water loss is now underground. Managing it better could help protect food, farms, and future supply. 📰 @ianjames.bsky.social for @latimes.com: www.latimes.com/environment/...

As the Colorado River’s reservoirs have declined, even larger amounts of groundwater have been drained from aquifers. Using satellite data, scientists have estimated the vast water losses.
