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.

Hmmm. How do I know it’s not just a photo of hopping bird turned sideways?

We’re often told not to mix business with politics, but consider this:
IL Dem Gov Pritzker just signed into law guaranteed paid leave to all IL workers.😄
MN Dem Gov Walz just signed into law free universal school breakfast & lunch for all children.😄
MI Dem Gov Whitmer just signed into law a repeal of anti-labor right to work for all workers.😄
AR GOP Gov Huckabee just signed into law making child labor easier for corporations to exploit.😳
🎶 One of these things, is not like the others. 🎶

Update:
News finally appeared today in the Copper Beacon. 500+ people at #SpringFLARE.

I have yet to hear a peep about the speech by the unwanted speaker. It got zero press coverage.
After much hunting I’ve found one mention of it on a bird-site account (with 23 followers) claiming an audience of 300. The photo suggests (1) the number is inflated; (2) the back rows may have been occupied by interested observers, not fans.

Their pit of vile is bottomless. It’s amazing that such shallow intellects can plumb it.
Andy Borowitz, on target as always.

Again, @molly0xfff nails it:
"Faced with the choice between the more communal, cooperative choice and the self-serving, every-man-for-himself choice destined to end in a bank run, it should be no surprise which option [the venture capitalists] picked. As the Titanic sank, they were the ones pushing people out of the lifeboats."

Ingenious, Indigenous cartography: The Tunumiit (Eastern Greenlandic Inuit) practice of carving portable maps out of driftwood to be used while navigating coastal waters. These pieces, which are small enough to be carried in a mitten, represent coastlines in a continuous line, up one side of the wood and down the other. The maps are compact, buoyant, and can be read in the dark.

Awesome turnout!! Great vibe, music, art, food, love, and enthusiasm.
>20 students and community orgs have tables. Everyone is smiling.

All governments respond to sustained pressure. (Eventually)
In the worst cases that pressure is in the form of brave people sacrificing life and liberty against an oppressive regime (see Iran, etc.).
In the US, democracy is under threat, but we still have LOTS of latitude to apply pressure without going to jail. Talk to you elected officials, show up at their meetings and events (local, state, national) and ask public questions. Call your media producers. Use your social media voice. Ask questions. Join a group. Write a letter. Fly a flag. Invite a Climate speaker to your church or club. Hold a sign on a street corner. Support a youth activist.
The bad guys are thrilled whenever someone who cares throws up their hands and says there’s nothing we can do.

Plenty of important statements here; let’s start with this one.

The mistake the students inadvertently made was to state that they opposed funds for the speaker based on his political views rather than pointing out his lack of qualifications or likelihood to contribute constructively to campus.
