On my way to Berlin's criminal court to support - as an expert on the climate crisis - the defense of an activist who disrupted traffic. Whether the judge will allow it remains to be seen. I'd testify why, on a factual basis, the climate problem is now a climate emergency.

Review article on long covid, really good (I’ve read about 60% of it so far)

Nothing about what we know so far makes me think masking is unnecessary or over-cautious.

I live my life without fear, masking in all shared indoor spaces. I’d like to be able to do more—but I wish more people understood that masks don’t have to be a reminder to be afraid.

Masks can be the opposite: the reason we don’t need to worry. That’s what it is for me.

If you suffer from anxiety/depression and enjoy the outdoors, I highly recommend taking up #birding it’s a world that is right in front of you that generally goes unnoticed. I’m living with PTSD and it’s been such a tremendous activity to help with the symptoms. #nature #naturephotography #BirdsOfMastodon #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #mentalhealth #anxiety #depression

@girls_can @ontariogreens @academicchatter @ecology absolutely 😕 I was ALSO very stoked you were meeting about wetlands! It just feels like so many photos and meetings are mask less, it's nice to see when folks "get it".

At my local library, a little girl dropped her library books into the ‘return’ slot, waved and shouted “GOODBYE BOOKS, HAVE A GOOD DAY AT SCHOOL!” and my heart grew three sizes 🥺

@girls_can @ontariogreens @academicchatter @ecology yah, if only everyone did!

@girls_can @ontariogreens @academicchatter @ecology so good to see you all wearing masks! Keep up the good work!

As the last rays of sunlight disappeared, the world was bathed in a warm, golden glow, signaling the end of another day. It was a sight that left one in awe, and reminded us of the beauty and transience of life.

RT @SfEP: What are the key issues expected to impact #marine and costal 🌊🏖️ #biodiversity conservation in the near future? 🤔

An expert panel identifies 🔍 the possible issues these #ecosystems could face in the next 5-10 years.

As climate change approaches the point of no return, remember—after September 11, 2001, the FBI declared that environmental activists were enemy #1.

As temperatures soar, remember how politicians passed legislation to protect fossil fuel profiteers.

As hurricanes pummel the coast, remember how the cops swabbed pepper spray into protesters' eyes.

As flash floods destroy towns, remember all the people they brutalized at Standing Rock.

As forests go up in smoke, remember how riot police charged the crowds so they could expand the open-pit mine at Lützerath.

As the polar ice caps melt, remember how prosecutors charged young people with terrorism for trying to protect the environment that we all depend on.

Remember who is responsible.
If not for their violence, we could have dealt with the ones who are driving climate change long ago.

In return for a few dollars, they are forcing the end of the world on us.

Moderna is planning to charge $130 for its COVID vaccine, but the vaccine only costs $2.85 to make.

Meanwhile, over the last two years, the company made over $19 billion in profits off the vaccine.

Folks, this is what corporate greed looks like.

@Mrfunkedude
Oh, I forgot to mention...
I've been reading the replies to your initial #Today request post. Great idea, I love reading the responses.

My winter break project was an app to browse and follow academics from many of the lists on the Academics on Mastodon page.

https://find.sciences.social reads data from the lists, and makes it easy to see profiles and follow academics.

The app doesn't scrape or store any information - it just shows the cdv-files in a new and (I hope) more useful way.

Give it a try.

“The data from 2022 is stark, however you look at it. Whether you view the figures in their raw form, or look at the data as another red line added to the climate stripes, the message is clear. Excess heat is building up across the planet at a rate unprecedented in the history of humanity."
