I live on the shores of #LakeSuperior on the #Keweenaw Peninsula in the #UpperPeninsula of #Michigan. This region is within Ojibwe Gichigami (“Ojibwa’s Great Sea”) homelands and ceded-territory, established by the TREATY OF 1842
I'm a professor of #environmental #chemistry with an interest in everything related to #climate, including molecular to global aspects of the carbon cycle, energy and social transitions, new and old technologies for sustainability, forests and biodiversity, local to international climate policy, and the systems thinking approaches we need to make progress.
Too much of a news and politics junkie than is healthy.
I share my homestead with a partner, a dog, several felines, two donkeys, plants, and occasional uninvited critters.

2/2 Women messing with men's heads du jour: Salome showing up for dinner w/ head of John the Baptist. Always such a party-pooper, she. By Dosso Dossi, whose day is today.

Especially a neophyte or just an average user who wants a microwave oven with 5 self explanatory buttons, not a box of parts with an DYI instruction manual.

I’ve never seen a better billboard sign in my life. This is how it’s done. Bravo, Bud Light & take that, Republicans.
Great news for education.
Onward from the bottom up, top down, and all the sides of sanity.

This image would be clearer if the color of the stripe was correlated to the population %.
Or perhaps if the width varied to consitantly show 5%.

Start early.
Why wait till the kids are in elementary school to introduce them to shooting?

Incredibly, Twitter has now made it impossible for public safety bulletins to be posted automatically by weather services, tsunami warnings, the MTA etc. This is consistent with Musk’s particular lack of interest in public service. But it also highlights the general problem of building networks on private property - precisely why we need Mastodon and other open source apps to take their proper place at the center of our online communities
@petergleick
In one recent week I had two work colleagues drop by my office to explain that climate change is causing havoc in California and that we have a global biodiversity crisis.
I’m both happy they are talking about it and dismayed that it’s taken them 20 years to hear what I’ve been saying every day.
Am I ineffective or are they deaf?
It’s exhausting.

"Cry more, National Tsunami Warning Center" (???)
@RobertMaguire
Only a few NWS bots have mastodon accounts. Tsunami alerts isn’t one (yet).
Surely NWS has the capacity to set up its own MastoWeather sever for all their bots?

Apparently a sound file doesn’t work. Try the video version. Sound on!

Highly recommended to #activists of all stripes: Jon Alexander explains the New Citizen Project. “Treat people like citizens, not consumers.”
