Professor Emerit at UC Davis. Researches in the history & philosophy of biology and environmental ethics. New open-access book w/ U Chicago Press: _The Land Is Our Community: Aldo Leopold's Environmental Ethic for the New Millennium_
First Eric Jones’ donors paid to get 3 more R candidates on the ballot in CA-04 to siphon votes away from the top R. Then they spent >$100K in a smear campaign against him when it looked like he was going to beat Jones for 2nd place. Now that R, Ray Riehle, has endorsed Jones! Something smells here…
POBAM has begun! Looking forward to my talk about Aldo Leopold and distinguishing land health from resilience for restoration purposes. And the many great talks to come — it’s been great so far! 🌱🐋
🐺. Here's the longer version of my letter to the editor that appeared in the Davis Enterprise—I had 250 words vs. 200 for the SF Chronicle, woo-hoo! 😁 I like this slightly longer version a bit better. Wolves & other species as members of our community, here: www.bibliopen.org/9780226834474
Here I spread the word about facts and values in discussions of CA wolves — my letter to the editor responding to a recent study done by some UC Davis researchers, published in today's San Francisco Chronicle. Alas, they didn't print my plug for _The Land Is Our Community_, but what can you do? 😁
Follow the VC and high tech 💰 Eric Jones will not represent the interests of the citizens of CA-04.
Katie Porter would make a great governor and deserves your vote. www.sacbee.com/opinion/elec... www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/edit...
I’m surprised that Porter did not mention this letter signed by 30 of her former staffers when she was asked about the viral videos. I think it’s the best response there is: nobody knows her better than the people who actually worked for her. This speaks of her strong & positive leadership
Pls share!! 🤲🏼 I think it's important to counter the misinformation about Katie Porter. Her former staffers — 30 of them! — speak powerfully to her ability to work with & inspire others better than any short video clip does. Another strong woman whose name has wrongly been dragged through the mud.😔
There are a lot of lyrics from Man-Sized Wreath that would work, I think.
Thank you, @patagonia.com, for being the first company to step up and publicly object to the Trump administration’s dismantling of the US Forest Service. I look forward to wearing my new t-shirt and fleece (not my first Patagonia products!)
@remhq.bsky.social bringing comfort across cultures in troubled times. @bertisdowns.bsky.social @michaelstipe.bsky.social @millsish.bsky.social
@uofcalifornia.bsky.social , why are you contracting with a company that offers the "advice" to stay away from legal, politically justified protests against an illegal war? Hmm? "Travel alerts are provided by Crisis24, the University of California's travel security partner."
Some of you may not know that I have three miniature poodles. Here they are on their Christmas Day walk. Normally it’s a hike, but that was not in the card this year.
So, @jaketapper.bsky.social , when’s your book on Trump’s decline and its cover-up coming out? Or for Trump, you only do retweets?
I'm honored to receive the Environmental Book Award for _The Land Is Our Community_ (published w/@uchicagopress.bsky.social) from Sierra Club's Mother Lode Chapter. It's humbling to have my work highlighted alongside activists who have been fighting tirelessly for environmental causes for decades 🌱🐋
I'm so grateful to receive this gracious & thoughtful review of my book that I want to quote the whole thing, but I'll content myself w/ a screenshot and point you to the rest at doi.org/10.1558/jsrn... There is nothing better than hearing that you achieved the goals you set out to achieve. 🌱🐋 🌎 📗
Dartmouth has rejected Trump's compact. Here is the response from Dartmouth Courage, www.dartmouthcourage.com, a coalition of Dartmouth alumni.
I'm very much looking forward to my visit to ASU next week! Note that there is a livestreaming option if any non-Arizonans else want to join in—see the RSVP info. I'll be drawing on ideas/themes from my book but from a different lens: stewardship (which is not something I talk about in the book).
If you’re an alum of one of the nine schools targeted by Trump’s “compact” and you don’t want this to happen to your alma mater, then please sign this petition: alumni.controlshift.app/petitions/tr... #AcademicSky #EduSky And please share this post!
This past week alone, the Trump admin targeted 9 universities. And there’s more to come. We have to stand up against these attacks & for academic freedom. The time is NOW to make your voice heard. If you went to any of these 9 schools, please sign the petition now—and share! bit.ly/campusfreedom
