So climate activism supposedly undermines acceptance of climate protection measures. Really? Not decades of disinformation and denial of climate science? Not continuous inaction on unfolding climate catastrophe? Not sabotaging any onset of those measures?
The German Minister for Justice suggests that civil disobedience disruption of air traffic could lead to millions of euros in liability for the protesters.
Possibly. But will his government commit to Germany being liable for damages caused to others by climate heating to the extent that Germany exceeds its fair share of emissions?
Dr. Gladys West grew up in 1930s VA. She had limited opportunities as a black girl in the south, but went on to become a mathematician.
In the 1950s, West helped program the Naval Ordinance Research Calculator. Later, she worked on modeling the shape of the Earth & helped develop satellite geodesy models, a foundation of GPS.
West was not formally credited for her work until 2018 when the VA General Assembly honored her contributions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladys_West #HistoryRemix #history #science
PSA: when sharing a Fediverse account with other Fedizens, the handle should look like this: @username@servername.com
Then we can view and follow the account in one click.
If you use servername.com/@username, that’ll open in a new tab in your web browser, on that person’s server. And we all know how much it sucks to try following someone then!
So only use servername.com/@username if you’re sharing outside the Fediverse.

I seem to remember picking the subject to use wax resist to highlight the rails!

On European social media we often discuss American issues and talk to Americans on social media - but doesn't it make sense for us to talk more to Nigerians, South Africans and Kenyans, and about their news, because that's who's awake at the same time as us?
Let me know if you are from these time zones, in #Africa, and I will follow you.
Trwa ewikcja (siłowa próba likwidacji) blokady wycinki w projektowanym #TurnickiParkNarodowy.
Policja, zamiast dbać o nasze bezpieczeństwo, wspiera niszczenie naszego dziedzictwa przyrodniczego. Obecni w obozie aktywiści zostali siłą wyniesieni i aresztowani pod pretekstem znalezienia narkotyków, tak jak w zeszłym roku #Wilczyce (do tej pory nic nikomu nie udowodniono). Jeśli możesz przyjedź na miejsce lub przyjdź na protest solidarnościowy pod lokalną komendą policji lub siedzibą #LP

So many, many reasons this is a terrible idea….
Is Texas 'floating wall' a migrant deterrent or pure theatre? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66183563
Just wait until the first high water.
Another big tree cut down on UC Davis property. UC Davis has cut down *so many* trees since I arrived here and at least 2/3 of the time I can't see a structural/disease reason why that would have been a good idea.
I see far fewer trees actually planted.
Given UC Davis is supposed to be the leading hort/ag university in the US, if not the world, it does a piss-poor job of communicating its tree strategy. #ClimateEmergency
I tried twice to contact California Office of Emergency Services about the inaccessibility of the new site Heatready.gov and what it links to. No way to talk to a human and no email addresses to write.
So I made a @resistbot petition that you can sign, too. It is crucial emergency information be communicated accessibly!
