The ozone layer is not only healing, but will likely be back to its 1980-state within a Millennial's lifetime

I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.

If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.

If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we’d never come up with those ears.

If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn’t know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.

We wouldn’t know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.

My point here is that we don’t know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they’d been all around us the whole time.

October 24, 2024 - Black-headed Nightingale-thrush (Catharus mexicanus) These thrushes are found in the forests of eastern Mexico and parts of Central America as far south as Panama. Foraging on or near the ground, often in leaf litter, they eat beetles, caterpillars, and other insects, as well as fruit. They build cup-shaped nests from moss, bark, and rootlets, lined with leaf skeletons or rhizomes, in shrubs or small palms, usually near streams. Females lay clutches of two to three eggs.

A quick video I made to show the difference between the two invasive and one native blackberry species in the Pacific Northwest. All three have edible berries and leaves and grow abundantly west of the Cascades. (Plus every berry you eat of the invasive species is one less load of seeds getting deposited with fertilizer by a bird later on!)

Indigenous-led resistance to 21 fossil fuel projects in the U.S. and Canada over the past decade has stopped or delayed an amount of greenhouse gas pollution equivalent to at least one-quarter of annual U.S. and Canadian emissions.

This is despite an onslaught of attacks against Indigenous activists over the past few years. Over the last few years, victories won against projects through direct actions have led to more than 35 states enacting anti-protest laws, jail time for protestors, thousands of dollars of fines, and even the killing of prominent activists.

Indigenous rights and responsibilities “are far more than rhetorical devices — they are tangible structures impacting the viability of fossil fuel expansion.” Through physically disrupting construction and legally challenging projects, Indigenous resistance has directly stopped projects expected to produce 780 million metric tons of greenhouse gases every year and is actively fighting projects that would dump more than 800 million metric tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year.

The analysis, which used publicly released data and calculations from nine different environmental and oil regulation groups, found that roughly 1.587 billion metric tons of annual greenhouse gas emissions have been halted. That’s the equivalent pollution of approximately 400 new coal-fired power plants — more than are still operating in the United States and Canada — or roughly 345 million passenger vehicles — more than all vehicles on the road in these countries.

“From an Indigenous perspective, when we are confronting the climate crisis we are inherently confronting the systems of colonization and white supremacy as well,” Goldtooth said. “In order to do that, you have to reevaluate how you relate to the world around you and define what your obligations are to the world around you. It’s more than just stopping fracking development and pipelines and it’s more than just developing clean energy, it’s about actually fundamentally changing how we see the world itself.”

This may be one of the coolest mushrooms I've ever found! Not because of species (I'm not entirely sure what it is) but because of its stage of development. It's in the brief period where the edge of the cap is separating from the stipe, and you can see those delicate little filaments of tissue still tenuously connecting them together. Had another hiker not picked or knocked this mushroom over, within a matter of hours those strands would have snapped as the cap continued to open. I've never gotten to see this stage in person, so it was a real treat to see such a fleeting moment in the fungal life cycle.
