What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

If y’all would take a second to read past scary headlines, you’d know that not all hope is lost to save coral reefs.

In fact, the authors behind the tipping point paper made sure to mention that we can still save remaining reefs by rapidly reducing emissions.

So don’t give up. The reefs need you.

What's the carbon footprint of using ChatGPT?

Very small compared to most of the other stuff you do.

That's why I only mentioned him. Unfortunately, he's currently running the country and doing terrible things. Just like the other terrible leaders. Doesn't mean everyone in the country is bad, but they're hurting their country's reputation.

We all share the air. If we would care about the quality of the air we share, everyone benefits.

One great way to do that is masking up in public spaces.

You’ll be sick less. You’ll be making spaces more accessible. You’re showing solidarity with disabled people.

Julia Doubleday @juliadoubleday.bsky.social · 1d

People continue to call COVID advocates’ pleas for masking “unreasonable”.

Yet people who’ve already been disabled by COVID have no choice but to live with the “unreasonable” burdens of constant COVID safety.

My latest:

Beyond all reason

Long COVID patients are constantly harangued about our requests for COVID safety. Yet what we're asking for is far less than what we're called on to do to survive.
