Bryan Johnson and the 'new age' obsession with longevity (as well as age-old obsession with staying young) has surfaced often during my research on death, death ritual and preservation. I guess you can have all the money in the world you would ever need or want, but still take years to face reality.

As I #AmWriting about #death, death ritual, and preservation, I'm researching thanatology and visited the Research in Experimental and Social Thanatology ('RESTES' facility) at UQTR, Canada's only 'body farm' to interview a PhD student there. We chatted about mass graves, burial. Lest folks forget.

Dr. Fauci remains a hero. COVID is ongoing despite lies/misinformation to the contrary. Vaccinations and masks save lives. Science is real. Believe the word and advice of actual experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Netanyahu must be arrested for war crimes and crimes against humanity and face justice at the ICC. Was permission granted, @mark-carney.bsky.social? How was this allowed to happen without his arrest.
🔫Scott Martin🛼Netanyahu flew through Canadian airspace. So either the government gave permission or didn’t assert sovereignty. Either way, they refused to enforce ICC arrest warrants despite being part of it.

Lee WestRogue regime thinks it is above the law: ICE’s New Detention Center Contracts Declare State Laws ‘Shall Not Apply’ One day after a fed judge ordered an ICE detention center opened to state health inspectors, the agency posted new contract terms that would void state oversight at four facilities.
Yes. Agreed. Always felt this presidency was stolen by Bush from Gore. As a writer writing on climate, I long for the world that might have unfolded had Gore/Democrats pushed back/won. The climate crisis might have had the championing it's needed from the most powerful political leader of that time.
Mark CopelovitchAgain, the point at which Democrats needed to burn it all down & stop the authoritarianism in its tracks was December 12, 2000, when the Wizards In Robes decided that people's votes didn't need to be counted. Everything since has been the inevitable outcome of that levee breaking.
THIS IS AMAZING. Scholarships for women who've been incarcerated or the daughters of those who have been. Everyone does deserve a second chance.

In his 2021 book, "We Are The Weather," Safran Foer states that if everyone on Earth consumed #beef like Americans do, we would need four Earths to meet that demand. Eating less beef is not only healthy for humans, but it helps our planet (less methane emissions.) #Health #Diet #ClimateCrisis
Timothy McBrideAffordability crisis: Beef is getting more expensive Beef prices are one of the more tangible ways Americans are feeling inflation. The “beef and veal” category in CPI-U rose 12.9% over past year. Adjusted for inflation (which is rising), beef prices were near historic highs.

Every so often I recall how we were given a vaccine for COVID-19 in the same year of its outbreak. Science and scientists and their research are incredible, vital and lifesaving. Fund science.

Today is #InternationalBogDay. Also, 3rd anniversary of Sinéad O'Connor's death. I happened to be in #Dublin the night she died, researching #bogs, #IronAge bog bodies for the book I #AmWriting (begun as I pursued my writing MFA the past 2 years.) Wrote this at the time. substack.com/home/post/p-...
Nothing compares 2 uRemembering Sinéad as I search for MFA "comps"...substack.comBeen researching, writing on #bogs, preservation for 3+ years now. A thread on how #wildfires on dried out #peatlands are particularly difficult to control/extinguish. Today is #InternationalBogDay. An important read on these vital carbon sinks. #Boglands need re-wetting, restoration, preservation.
Dave VetterI join you from the Blaenavon wildfire in Southeast Wales, brought to you by BP, Shell and Equinor. Though it does not look dramatic, the fire has been out of control for days - for a very particular reason. 🧵
