There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more
Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

This is inspiring in the way that kids running a lemonade stand to pay for their friend's chemotherapy is inspiring: the kids are amazing but they should never have to do this. if this inspires you at all, let it inspire you to create a real right to vote so they can just vote on campus.
These are students from HBCU North Carolina A&T marching back to their campus after voting early together The Guilford County Board of Elections removed their on-campus polling site ❤️❤️
Omg in terms of silly things I’d get a new wardrobe of things I enjoy not just want makes sense and was cheaper. For non frivolous: I’d commission or patron so many artists and fund so many musicians and dancers and artisans….
question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before. Two years after the dams’ removal, it’s going better than anyone predicted. buff.ly/pToC9gB #ShareGoodNewsToo

JON STEWART: “They began covering their ass 3 weeks after 9/11… There was poison in the air, on the ground, on your pets/clothes… THE CITY KNEW. Rather than limit the damage, they covered it up… After 9/11, business will never be usual again.” (From @mamdanibulletin.bsky.social )

We talk a lot about the importance of voting but in doing so, we romanticize it, and I've come to believe that's a mistake. It's not romantic, it's not glorious, it's not an expression of your ideals or your identity. It's selecting the best outcome for the most people. That's all it is. Do that.

Every time someone says "but how will we afford it?" I want to ask them how we are affording it now, and in many cases, the answer is that we aren't.

Years ago, I got a tip: look into the human remains collection at the AMNH. The museum held the remains of more than 12,000 individuals from around the world, but wouldn't identify them. I identified many of the remains and published this piece: hyperallergic.com/a-new-york-m...
