Please enjoy our research paper on how Bluesky is the preferred home of academics of all stripes, including professors of rare moths. (Yes, we actually have lots of entomologists here).

Wonderful news
In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

They banned PFAS from ski wax for these Olympics. Apparently it has become a big problem, even polluting ski towns’ groundwater!

The Olympics are ditching PFAS waxes — and the ‘ridiculous’ speed they gave skiers
A key source of speed is gone, as concerns over toxic “forever chemicals” reshape Olympic skiing and the science behind winning on snow.

Wow. Impressive.
China’s carbon emissions have remained flat for nearly two years, suggesting the country may be approaching its peak emissions. Behind this shift is an accelerated green transition and a restructuring of the nation’s energy mix. CGTN’s Jeff Moody has a closer look. #china

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org
There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

The SAVE America Act would impose outrageous voter suppression requirements on American citizens.
One example: married women who take their spouse’s name & whose last name may not match their birth certificate. Do they not get to vote?
This bill is DOA in the Senate.

The Trump administration is trying to give us dirtier air, more respiratory illnesses, more severe natural disasters, less efficient cars, and fewer clean energy jobs. The only winners here? Trump’s buddies in the C-suites of fossil fuel companies.

Fuentes then fantasizes about “breeding gulags”: “So just like Hitler imprisoned Gypsies, Jews, communists, you know, all of his political rivals, we have to do the same thing with women… They go to the breeding gulags. The good ones will be liberated. The bad ones will toil in the mines forever.”

Call your senators!
BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.
