Led by local groups No Data Center Monterey Park and San Gabriel Valley Progressive Action, residents mobilized, and rallied the city council to overturn the approval, pass a temporary moratorium, and spurred the asset manager to abandon the project.
That victory is captured nicely here:

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.
During PAX East, I got some really terrible news from my mother.
Anyone who went probably didn't see very much of me outside of the times I was working a booth, and this situation is why - my family desperately needs my help.

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please

Guys looks at this baby snail 🥲
Baby sea snails (called veligers) often sport large angel-like wings, which they use to glide through the oceans before landing in a permanent home.

Please remember when you swim in the ocean:
200 meters below you, there is a layer of fish that stretches all around the world. It is so dense, that when it was discovered during WWII it scared the navy so bad they bombed it.
This is the ocean's thin inner shell of fish [🧵]
Yellow, handwritten text reads, "FOLLOW FOR MORE INFO!!". Below that is the Bluesky logo and the handle @downstreamgames.com. The characters are a yellow mask and a young child. The mask looks away to the left with an embarrassed expression. The child is making a pose where their hands are flat on the front, top corners of their head. Their eyebrows are raised up in the center, eyes are closed, and their tongue is hanging out of the side of their mouth.
Aw geez, looks like we're the Fools today...We were going to make a post about the game, but we haven't even announced it yet!
Follow us to learn more, though, because we're hard at work for the announcement this Summer!

Israel passed a law allowing the death penalty exclusively for Palestinians. It was written by the fascist Ben Gvir.
Israel is institutionalising genocide.
A jewel-toned lobster faces the camera, with long horns and spiky bits all over the exoskeleton. It's on a wooden board. The coloration is ornate and very multi-colored, from purple to yellow to blue to orange. There are five species of rock lobster found in tropical Australian waters, but by far the most abundant is the Ornate Rock Lobster, Panulirus ornatus. This species forms the basis of dive fishery in both the Torres Straits and in the Gulf of Papua. CSIRO scientists have traced the movements of these lobsters to reveal a remarkable picture of animal migration. The lobsters undertake a journey that takes them hundreds of kilometres across the Torres Strait to their breeding grounds in the Gulf of Papua. After breeding, they seem to disappear. November 1985.

I'd like to introduce you to Panulirus ornatus, the ornate rock lobster.
They're native to the Indo-Pacific, with a large range centered on New Guinea & the Great Barrier Reef near Australia.
They're a member of family Palinuridae, the spiny or rock lobsters.
So why so colorful?
At long last, we are publishing our casting calls for AU's WHM programming! A couple things of note: our event is taking place the first weekend of April. We wanted to not rush things and do it right. Second thing: we know these offerings are very small, but we wanted to take baby steps.
We hope to offer more next year.
These three shows are looking for our WOC historians, Trans WOC, and Indigenous WOC and we hope you will apply or spread the word <3
