Quick PSA: Joan is a real name. It’s not even an odd or unusual one.

It’s not Jone. It’s not Joanne.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told someone my name out loud and they either spell it “Jone” or they correctively address me as “Joanne.”

I know this is not important. But it’s just weird.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

A Failed Hunt for Meaning in Wartime Ukraine - Orion Magazine Reporting from the rubble

“Grasping the feeling of dread, of misplaced—or foregone—humanity is a failed hunt for meaning,” wrote Zarina Zabrisky at the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. “There is no meaning in war.”

Thank you. I don’t dispute the need to point out where coverage is lacking. But that should include highlighting where climate coverage already does exist, so that our efforts are read, supported, and can continue at a time when climate journalism is more needed and more threatened than ever before.

Feels like there’s a pattern of prominent climate scientists/directors, etc. using their platforms to complain about news media omitting climate context while ignoring stories that include it (btw, climate journalist positions are vanishing).

If you want to fix a gap, maybe lift up existing fixes?

Arizona in for heat shock as temps about to top 100 earlier than ever A spike in temperatures highlights the felt reality and scientific certainty of climate change. So why is this still such a difficult conversation?

Dropping Lake Powell levels are forcing one of its largest remaining marinas to relocate to stay in water.

Park Service announces today that Bullfrog marina on the reservoir's north end will move entirely to the other side near Halls Crossing to remain viable this year: www.nps.gov/glca/learn/n...

Had a great conversation with @joanmeiners.bsky.social about communicating climate change and heat waves.

Good timing as I just received a 7-day extreme heat warning for northern Arizona where we've already been experiencing temps 15-20 degrees above normal www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

It's very likely that an oil shock helped to crater housing production in the 1970s and could be about to do so again. publiccomment.blog/p/the-housin...

Oh damn…I’m tempted actually.

This is a pretty great job! Ask me how I know

This is what ecocide looks like.

This is so relatable for me!

"We have 75% of Americans who know climate change is happening. You're not gonna lose viewers. You're going to earn people's trust and respect by making this a more important area of coverage. I hope conversations like this help reporters who are still there get stories on."

NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

This is a vital conversation about trends in #climate news coverage that people NEED to hear.

@emorwee.bsky.social, Tracy Wholf & @chasecain.bsky.social (who was great to work with on our 2024 interview of John Podesta for @coveringclimatenow.org) are indispensable.

SRP seeks summertime rate cut as regulators drop renewable power rules As Arizonans struggle with rising bills, heat relief experts emphasize a need to pursue nature-based city planning and clean energy generation.

I set out to write about fluctuating electricity rates at Arizona utilities today & ended up also covering the final repeal of AZ’s renewable energy standard, passed ~4pm.

The sunniest state in the nation no longer has any benchmark goal for solar energy. Dark day.

Good article, but the framing is wrong. There is not a dearth of interest in taxonomy. There is a scarcity of funding and positions, which is a deliberate choice by funding agencies and institutions. The youth love taxonomy! It's the olds that are failing to meet their passion!

Love this one

Sam Alito has an oil money problem 30 percent of Alito’s individual stock portfolio is directly tied to fossil fuels.

The Supreme Court has decided to hear a major climate case against fossil fuel companies

Alito has not recused himself, despite owning nearly $200,000 in fossil fuel stocks—including in Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips, which are being sued in cases that would be directly affected by a SCOTUS ruling

Touched on that in my story yesterday!

What funding the Arizona Trail may mean for the future of public lands A bill to fund maintenance of the Arizona Trail moves forward while a long list of federal threats to land management agencies still looms large.

I wrote a story about a bill to fund maintenance of the #ArizonaTrail, which crosses nearly every category of #publiclands on its 850-mile journey btw Utah & Mexico -- and what in-state support for it might mean against a backdrop of federal attacks on public lands.
