Climate week was INTENSE! Today, I’m going to recharge my social battery.
How can you recharge your social battery? Maybe that means going to bed early, cancelling plans, or spending time in nature. What nourishes you the most?
I’m hosting a free Climate Week Decompression Art Workshop on Friday. This will be a time to calm your nervous system after a chaotic week and enjoy the benefits of making art for our mind and body.

@Teva I have been a loyal teva wearer for over 30 years. But this has happened with my last three pairs. What gives?!

Our plastic waste is bad for wildlife.
The image is of a deceased black-footed albatross chick. It's a sobering picture and normally we like to keep things light-hearted on this account, but every once in a while we need to have one of those "real talks."

A loving sweet dog should never be killed for space or time
Keith Olbermann's Dogs@TomJumboGrumbo
His family was moving, so handsome Mylo 166433 arrived Feb 1 and is now TBK Thursday in NYCACC. Friendly, outgoing and playful with strangers, kids and dogs, you have to wonder why they are so keen to erase him. Four years old and described as "a very loving dog" who loves his walks and slept on his owner's bed, Mylo has lost everything and deserves so much more - needs a northeast family with kids age 13+ to survive. Please repost pledge, let's save Mylo! newhope.shelterbuddy.com/Animal/Profile…

Thanks so much to the @SomervilleTheatre for another great -- and, again, sold-out -- screening of "In the Whale." See our website -- inthewhalefilm.com -- for upcoming screenings.

@enckj Like the toxic black plastic for takeout made from electronic waste! But isn’t this an argument for getting rid of the toxics, not the plastic (in this particular case?).

Recently both the washington post and new york times have revealed donald trump is planning to impose a dictatorship and use the military against his critics if he seizes power again. I am going to post this repeatedly so no American can say they haven’t been told.

If anyone is thinking of using @Dotster for web or email hosting or anything else, don’t! I just had the very worst customer service experience with them (after some bad eml service). And this is after multiple bad experiences. Would love reccs for companies that don’t suck.

More students chanting “Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea!” For the umpteenth time, that phrase is a direct call for the extermination of the state of Israel. It is a call to arms to kill all Israelis. It is a call for genocide. If you’re chanting this hate, ignorance is no longer an excuse.
Karol Markowicz@karol
Today’s genocidal chant comes to us from Brown University. They don’t just want “freedom” or whatever for Palestinians. They want Jews dead, they want Israel eliminated, face it.

By far the most powerful Israeli response I have seen.
This 19 year old girl survived the horrific massacre in Kibbutz Be’eri.
This is her message to her fellow Israelis and to the world.
Watch the whole thing.

@HC_Richardson @TeacherOnTopic How weird. The other day I was helping an elementary school at lunch with their recycling. One 1st grader threw out most of his lunch (in the compost bin) and I said: “aren’t you going to be hungry?” And he said “no, but I’m worried I might get dehydrated.”

@TeacherOnTopic I am totally going to try to stay high-dated from now on! 🙂

Today a kindergartener walking in a line told me, "Good job drinking water!" when he saw me drink water. The line kept moving and every kid after him echoed a similar comment.
"It's healthy to drink water!"
"It's important to stay high-dated!"
And so on.

Context. This construction project was appropriated during the prior administration, in 2019, and the government is legally required to utilize these funds for their appropriated purpose. Biden has called on Congress to cancel or reappropriate remaining border barrier funding.
Asma Khalid@asmamk
During the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden told my former colleague Lulu Garcia-Navarro that not another foot of border wall would be constructed in his presidency. But last night the Biden admin waived a number of laws to speed up construction of a chunk of border wall in TX

@billmckibben @BostonGlobe @MassGovernor And the flight path is right over a farm that grows food for orgs that help people who are food insecure. The contrast is amazing. I’d pick helping the farm anytime.

Great story in the @BostonGlobe today about the private jet airport expansion at Hanscom Field: basically, it's for billionaires flying to Aruba.
I don't believe for a minute that @MassGovernor Healey will countenance this
