Hope everyone facing fires right now is getting to safety or helping contain them. My screenshot doesnt include FL & more, which apparently have fires too. Can't wait until we have leaders in the future who understand the climate crisis is now

Screen shot of the app watch Duty. Too many fires to count in US right now

My birthday is Juneteenth. A coworker surprised me w this cake & threw out her back delivering it. And, well: the toll of the stress of living in this heightened moment of racism, xenophobia, sexism, anti-environmental, carelessness in the US is traumatic, in big & small ways. Not news but (sigh)

On another day of global violence, I was grateful Sunflower Seeds Ukraine allowed our high school kid to Zoom with people in Ukraine & send them solar panels with uplifting messages of solidarity 🌻 🇺🇦 ☮️

Solar panel with doodles in yellow and blue of hearts, flowers, trees and a smiley face. Says in English: United we stand. And says the same in Ukrainian

Climate museum is hosting a recaptioning contest of Tom Toro's classic cartoon. I posted this on LinkedIn to participate & didn't get one like or laugh. Huh.

Vasco Mantas, Director at Earth Observation Laboratory, Univ of Coimbra, shared this image--I don't usually find the "show your stripes" images of climate change persuasive, but personalizing them intergenerationally hits

Climate strips of four generations with headshits of each person (cartoon for child). Description from author:
🔹 My grandfather’s stripes are mostly calm blues—a world still quite predictable.
🔸 My dad’s row goes lavender, then salmon—subtle shifts but definitely noticeable.
🔺 Mine turns scarlet right in the middle of my twenties—unusual heat waves that stopped feeling unusual.
‍🔥 My son’s - Extremes become part of his normal.

Just a taste of the thousands at #NoKings protest in Boulder, Colorado on this hot afternoon...there were hugs, music, dancing & chants.

Rally today at NOAA building in Boulder, Colorado to stand up for federal workers, particularly scientists

Lots of people with signs rallying by street with US flag, CO flag and maybe a NOAA flag--I can't read it.

I am not a tech expert like some of my friends here who may be able to say more, but many I know were prompted to check by the following, whoch says it is the operating system update not phone model. I would just check your phone and unclick "learning" if you see it 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thanks to @james.wakibia.bsky.social from Eco-Rethink Organisation for talking on my podcast, which became the backbone of my book. Glad copies of *Beyond Straw Men* have arrived in Kenya. All proceeds go to Eco-Rethink & Justice for Formosa Victims. #plastics #PlasticPollutes

Tweet: Profound: “We are all becoming more plastic, even if we haven’t fully grasped what that transformation entails.” Quote from Phaedra Pezzullo
I’m excited to have received a copy of the book, “Beyodn Straw Men,” at a time the world is deeply engaged in negotiations for a plastics treaty.
