In an essay out today in the AGU journal Eos, @jeffcorbin, Meghan Duffy, @carlyziter and I discuss the urgent need to move beyond the "it's real, it's bad, it's us" approach to climate education. What is desperately needed instead are pathways towards climate action that engage and empower students, while helping to fight the immobility of climate despair.

“Donald Trump will do everything in his power – including roping in the House GOP, GOP electeds around the country, right-wing media, and MAGA World proxies – to turn his trials into absolute shitshows.”
~ David Kurtz
Remember when the Republicans babbled on and on and on about being the party of law and order and gravitas, the party of civility keeping the barbarians from the gates? 😂

1. Corrupt the voting system
-or if that fails—
2. Just throw the elected out of office.

Hawaii Wildfires on Maui and the Big Island. I do not recall seeing this in my lifetime. @TimInHonolulu

@MKSinSA Last night, I bought in our Christmas Cactus which was slowly shriveling up. Most of the chicks my wife planted in a pot have perished. Being resistant to drought is not the same as heat resistant. 😢

When it comes to climate action, individual choices matter; but systemic change is key. That's why the most effective thing we can do is to advocate for action where we work, study, live, and invest. By using our voice, we can truly make change contagious. https://ideas.ted.com/seeing-climate-change-solutions-inspires-collective-action-book-excerpt/

* first person experience of Julia Wright, student at McGill University
* Wright says almost every person they meet assumes they're a woman because of their appearance
Gender identity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_identity
* personal sense of one's own gender
Gender expression: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_expression
* typically reflects a person's gender identity, but not always the case

Happy new week everyone! ☀️ the sky was so amazing 🤩 this morning on the mountain top so i took a hundred pics and will probably be posting more 😂 here’s my beautiful birds with one of my favorite sky backgrounds 😍🥳🙌
#Trump Based on his recent public statements and social media posts, for a man under inditement, he is off the rails and over the embankment. There needs to be a gag order regarding this trial as far as Trump spewing his typical poison, lies, attacks and misdirection, all over everyone in range.
By the end of this, we maybe asking are former Presidents above the law or maybe looking at Civil War v2 if the Criminal walks, worse if somehow he is reinstated as POTUS. 🤔
