super excited to announce our @earthlyespanol.bsky.social project is underway, we'll be making all of our content across our platforms accessible to the Spanish speaking world 🌎
Basically I think progressivism -- moving toward greater equality under law -- is moral & good, & conservatism -- preserving existing social & power hierarchies -- is bad & wrong, & furthermore, I think everyone *knows* this on some level. The thing is, being good is *hard* & often requires ...
Have you registered for the national day of celebrating Solar and Clean Energy on September 21?! Sun Day!! Find an event near you ⬇️🌞
solar panels don’t cause massive oil spills. they don’t explode. they don’t poison drinking water. they don't cloud the air with deadly pollution. and they don't collapse the climate. they just sit there, quietly making light into life.
when truth is suspect, power rests with whoever can shout the loudest, or spend the most.
[scribbling notes]
I think I would take reactionary centrists more seriously if they could cite one (1) example of progressives pushing for social change the *right* way -- using just the right slogans, supporting just the right policies, protesting in just the right fashion.
critiqued by everyone across the political spectrum.. to then take a big breath and try to be better the next day.
send some love to those doing this work because it's needed
not sure if many people understand how difficult it is to try and effectively communicate the death of our living world, to millions of people, to then be ridiculed, mocked, violently threatened, digitally harassed, underpaid, chronically stressed, criticised and...
if even half of it happens, it will be one of the most historic clean energy surges ever, transforming development, cutting emissions, and showing what rapid renewable rollout can look like.
Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, just announced a massive solar push, aiming to light up villages with small solar-and-battery microgrids alongside bigger solar farms.
beautiful! an Australian NGO has released 147 brush-tailed bettongs! these squirrel-sized marsupials are vital ecosystem engineers, digging fungi and enriching soils. drawn from a thriving predator-free population of over 1,000, they’re now going “beyond the fence.”
"climate scientists are protesting as their research shows we are only years away from complete collapse" could be a headline every single day and yet the billionaire press continues to hide the truth. their silence is complicity.
I'll never forget when the Climate Minister told me "I live in the real world, and we can't just make things happen overnight" and then a few weeks later his party passed a law, *overnight*, making climate activists face more severe punishments than someone committing real crimes
you can say whatever you want, but the reality is that without drastically reducing animal agriculture, our planet's climate will collapse
that's not some woke nonsense, that's the cold hard scientific fact
we are putting burgers ahead of our future
"most intelligent species" my ass
they produced and exported so much of the renewable infrastructure for other countries last year that they reduced the entire world's emissions by an entire percent
one of the more difficult things to come around to is that for my whole life, I have been told that it is China that is destroying the climate, and now, we are seeing China lead the world towards a rapid transition to clean energy
Pope Leo is turning out to be just as much of a green pope as Francis. Why do we care? Because he leads 1.4 billion Catholics and has nearly as big a platform as the anti-climate "president" of 340 million Americans.
Should we send politicians to prison for climate crimes? New data shows the overwhelming majority of the public think so.
if your country is cracking down on activists whilst protecting corporations, please know that this is absolutely what the rise of fascism looks like and you should be doing all you can to remove them... or else one day, you will wake up and realise that you have become their next target.
"I don't think corporations should be allowed to destroy our planet"
"ah, I don't do politics"
do you hear yourself?
"Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshiping." - Hubert Reeves.
yet we act as if it’s disposable, dreaming of other worlds or heavens above while wrecking the only one that could ever truly be home
the statistical improbability of our planet - it's just the right distance from the sun, the perfect tilt for seasons, a protective atmosphere, the right chemical compositions, water in all its form - makes it the rarest treasure in the universe
I find the idea of heaven borderline offensive to the miracle planet beneath our feet
let’s hope factory farming is next but as Vox said, “perhaps the biggest animal welfare campaign success story of the 21st century.”
after decades legal wins, faux-fur innovation, and tireless activism, the number of animals farmed for fur has fallen from over 140 million in 2014 to 20.5 million in 2024. minks, foxes, chinchillas and raccoon dogs are spared unimaginable cruelty.
how cool is this - young aspen trees are flourishing in Yellowstone thanks to wolves!! since their reintroduction, elk numbers have dropped and overgrazing has eased, allowing aspens to grow tall again. a living reminder that when predators return, entire ecosystems can heal.
