I'm not so easily shocked these days, but it might actually be shocking that the vice president of the United States is as violently, smugly, publicly racist as he is.

Collapse isn’t a single moment. It’s what happens when the systems people rely on keep existing on paper but stop functioning in practice. trib.al/lEwPGHg

For an ever so brief moment, distant icebergs and mountain ranges in Greenland's awe inspiring Scoresby Sund fjord are dressed in some of the most beautiful pastel colors I have seen.

Alaska Vowed to Resolve Murders of Indigenous People. Now It Refuses to Provide Their Names.
When the nonprofit Data for Indigenous Justice filed public records requests with the Alaska Department of Public Safety concerning cases it had investigated, the state rejected them.

The definition of audacity: ICE asking WA tribes to host detention centers.
They got a very polite “fuck off.”

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.
