Special shoutout to the repair site iFixit who are now on the Fediverse, you can follow them at:

➡️ @iFixit

They provide repair forums and free repair guides for phones, computers, consoles, kitchen equipment, tools, medical devices, cars etc. They also review and tear down new gadgets to see how repairable they are.

Repairing your existing stuff is much, much better for the environment than buying replacements.

This is so sad. 😢 And I can see no end to the ongoing tragedy...

Whether they hop around the prairie, dabble in wetlands, flit through forests, or forage along the shore, birds are suffering rapid population declines across the United States.

That’s the finding from the latest State of the Birds report, a status check on the country’s avian life published every few years by a coalition of science and conservation groups. The 2025 report shows that birds across most habitats have suffered major losses since 1970. Grassland and aridland species have been dealt the heaviest blow: both groups lost more than 40% of their total populations over that period.

What’s more, the trends for many habitat groups have gotten worse. Even waterfowl, which had previously been a conservation bright spot amid the alarming declines, have seen their numbers drop since the last edition of the report. Overall, around one-third of U.S. birds, or 229 species, are of high or moderate conservation concern, according to the report — dealing with low population levels, declining trends, or other threats that call for conservation action to step up.

Sorry for lack of posting for a few days, had field work (surprising, I know!) and so I made the most of a few days to study the Earth, leaving my computer at home.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled #MarshMadness ! It is now day 13! Enjoy this pretty marsh landscape on the edge of a forest from the southern US.

There is so much beauty here, so much life to protect, where the EPA is weakened let's get our states to step up! Nature access is bipartisan, everyone wants to partake, so make sure to be contacting even your republican reps on these issues. The only ones who want to destroy it are the billionaires.

Looking through a break in the trees (oak, pine, and I'm not sure what is on the right, maybe ash?) to a large wetland area full of grasses. The green carpet of long grasses and plants stretches out for a long ways until the sparkly blue water beyond - still with springs of green in it due to its shallow nature. The other side fades into the distance, but you can tell there are grasses there too, before a small rise in landscape has more forest beyond. The sky is a bit overexposed but you can tell it is a bright blue sky day with puffy white clouds that are almost cartoon like in their cotton ball perfection.

The EPA is rolling back environmental regulation, but most Americans support climate policies, study finds

Two-thirds of Americans support a transition to clean energy by 2050, and 3 out of 4 support regulating carbon emissions

San Francisco Baykeeper

A reminder of what the Bay looked like before environmental regulation—open dumping of industrial waste, raw sewage, and fuel, and constant oil spills.

Before EPA and laws like the Clean Water Act, America's waters were choked with pollution. Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which became a symbol of environmental degradation in the 60s, was so polluted that it repeatedly caught fire.

Today, it's estimated that the #CleanWaterAct alone prevents 700 *billion* pounds of toxic pollution from entering US waters every single year.

We MUST defend these vital laws and institutions.
