The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

I think only enviros/climate/energy people know that the US is producing more oil than Saudi Arabia these days. To quote the US EIA the "United States produces more crude oil than any country, ever"

this is not a flex.
Lede of the day: “Donald Trump is looking to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline on his first day back in the White House, according to three people familiar with the president-elect’s plan, even though no companies are trying to build it anymore.”

The Trump team's plan to resuscitate a dead oil project
The company behind the project cancelled it and the steel that was in ground has been removed, but it's on the president-elect's energy to-do list.

My life is absolutely falling apart in the most awful ways possible but here I am following people on Bluesky like it's a normal Tuesday morning 😭🤣 Some day the past three weeks of my life will go in my tell-all book. Just not sure whether to market it as trauma porn or not
