Poker Face is absolutely phenomenal TV and I am not sure why they consulted BBQ dudes from Pine Bush NY for an episode about a Black pitmaster in Texas, but now we know what why George says “pecan” that way

Lack of social sciences and humanities in climate knowledge due to the domination of natural sciences, including modelling, has resulted in science that has not been implemented. Bypassing detail and contextual knowledge in the search for reductionist, simple messages...

“Before landscapes die, they first vanish in the imagination”. This is the story of a small brook on the outskirts of London, the Aldersbrook, which has survived against the odds, but in the worst state imaginable, & my attempts to act as a guardian of this river & its rights🧵

I'm seeing a lot of discussions of this site that are either "CHOP CHOP" or "OH WELL," but very little stuff coming across my feed about how to remain on Twitter while building community elsewhere--seems important, given how many folks are compelled to keep a presence here

If Twitter crashes and you need to find me, the hell you will. I've got a two day head start on you, which is more than I need. I speak a dozen languages, know every local custom, I'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see me again.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects.
I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars.
Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy."

Microplastics have officially been found in human breast milk for the first time in a new study that detected the contaminant in 75% of the samples tested after we also found microplastics inside the lungs and crossing the blood-brain barrier. This is our generation's lead paint.

What's a fact? Latour went about his life like a detective trying to crack this unsolved case. With a negative capability I found deeply moving, he treated everything—and everyone—as a potential clue. As he wrote to me recently, "What a circus it was!"

So much of my learning and work is predicated on Latour, yet what strikes me most is that I've heard so many people who worked with him say he was deeply kind. What a loss.

1. It is with great sadness that we learn the news of Bruno Latour’s passing today. He was an intellectual giant, a friend, & someone whose work inspired me greatly. A thread for those who want to know more about this extraordinary life.

🧵Some personal news: I’m taking a 6-month sabbatical, starting now. These past 3 years have been the most professionally meaningful of my life, but they’ve also deeply broken me. The pandemic isn’t over, but after a long time spent staring into the sun, I need to blink. 1/

Reminded of the time I became increasingly incensed that some scholar wouldn't return the interlibrary loan I really needed for a project only to realize one day while observing a pile of books that the scholar in question was in fact myself.

Welcome to Texas. Today abortion, a medical procedure, is now a felony. Punishable with up to life in prison. No exceptions for rape or incest. If you don’t think this will seriously impact medical care, you are wrong.
