Woah, looks like Emmanuel Macron (new president of France) was serious in his offer to recruit Climate Scientists, Teachers, Businesses, Associations and Students to his country. His government has just launched https://www.makeourplanetgreatagain.fr/
France is offering grants worth up to 1.5 million euros (~$1,679,355 U.S. Dollars) if Climate Scientists move there for research. This is directly in response to Donald Trump announcing his plans to leave the Paris Climate Agreement.
The website is in English, as well so applying wonât be an issue.

Also destroy the idea that tattoos âlook uglyâ and âare not for youâ if you have dark skin, and that âwhite people are perfect for tattooingâ
Hereâs something Iâd learned about before, but didnât really understand until nursing school:
When you put your hand on a hot stove (or any extremity on any major, unexpected source of pain), the decision to pull it away happens in your back. Â Thatâs what a spinal reflex meansânot just that the action is automatic, but that your brain isnât even consulted.
You will never remember it this way.  You will always remember the event as âthe stove felt hot so I pulled my hand away.â  But âyouâ didnât do anything.  All you did was come up with a justification after your back had already acted.  Even if you know this intellectually, it wonât change anythingâyou still wonât be able to remember your hand acting on its own.  Your brain will not allow it.
There are more parts of the nervous system that work this way than youâd probably like to think about.
Hey guys my friend from school Jade has gone missing, here is a more recent picture some of her other friends have been sharing on Facebook. Everyone is super worried about her and I figured I Iâd try and see if I might have even a tiny chance of getting the word out more on here. She uses she/her pronouns and was last seen in Brooklyn. Please come home safe Jade everyone is very worried :( <3Â
The NYPD is helping a âGothamâ actor find his missing transgender child, officials said Wednesday.
Actor Donal Logue, who plays Harvey Bullock on the Batman-inspired drama on Fox, reported to police Tuesday that Jade, 16, never came home after meeting up with a friend at the Barclays Center in Fort Greene.
Logue, 51, said Jade, who is transgender, identifies as female and changed her name from Arlo to Jade on several social media sites within the last year. Jade left home about 3 p.m. Monday.
Logue reported the teen missing to police about 1 a.m. Tuesday, an NYPD spokesman confirmed.
The actor also tweeted about his childâs disappearance.
âMissing- yesterday at 2PM Barclays Center/Fort Greene Brooklyn: my child, Jade Logue. 6'2" 180 lime green hoodie dark green military parka,â Logue tweeted.
Logue took the tweet down after his fellow actors Olivia Wilde, Mark Ruffalo and Stana Katic spread the word about the disappearance, according to heavy.com.
Attempts to reach Logue or his agent for comment were unsuccessful Wednesday morning.
Anyone with information regarding the teenâs whereabouts is urged to call (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
hey hey hey so if youre in the NY area PLEASE help us find jade. ive been in contact with her father and given the info im able to give. im so terrified for her, jade is a close friend of mine and i want to see her safe. if you have ANY idea who she could be with or if you see her around, please help. please please spread this if you can, this is VERY serious and she could be in danger.
I should be clear that when I say lurking =/= stalking I mean people who check up on your blog randomly arenât stalking. Itâs a public site what do you expect?
Itâs one of those things where like, not to get super serious here, but stalking is really terrifying and can honestly be really, really traumatic. Someone you donât like checking your blog sucks, but itâs very obviously not anywhere near as serious.
I feel like there is kind of a gray zone here, though, because checking your blog CAN be stalking, depending on the context in which it is happening. Like, if Person A cut off contact with Person B irl, and then Person B starts using Person Aâs social media to keep tabs on them and continue to invade their life, that can certainly feel really violating and scary.
But if Person C and Person D, who have never interacted before, had fandom drama, and Person C checked Person Dâs blog to see if they were vague-blogging about them, thatâs not stalking. You donât get to accuse people of stalking (or stealing *coughcough*) as a way to continue saying whatever you want about total strangers with no repercussions.
To live together peaceably, First Nations and Canadians have much more work to do.
We are all here to stay.
First Nations and Canadians are here to stay and must find ways to live together as neither is going away.
If we are all here to stay, we must settle past grievances, resolve the outstanding issues of aboriginal title, rights, compensation, and deal with the ongoing effects of colonialism so that our relationship can be based on peace and not violence. Big order.
On July 1, Canada celebrates its 150th birthday, and there are many Indigenous people in Canada who will not celebrate and in fact are resisting the celebrations. Why?
There are many reasons, but the main ones are that settlers came into Canada and took over our lands and resources without compensation, without beating us in war or entering into treaties that addressed the taking of the land. This has never been resolved.
First Nations were removed from our territories, put on small reserves, and had laws imposed on us that were contrary to who we are, our governance structures, laws and values.
As Canada celebrates its 150th, there should be recognition that settlers would not have survived here without the help of First Nations people providing them with food, resources and the means to survive.
There needs to be recognition that they have become a very rich country off our lands and resources and have not shared with First Nations, but must do so going forward. Â
For First Nations people, the 150 years represents years of struggle against a country that seeks to be wealthy at the cost of our rights and the environment that sustains those rights.
It is a country that has tried to keep us down with paternalistic laws and policies and to not do anything or enough to deal with a dark past.
These struggles have consisted of court cases, defending the land, working in many forums from local to international, and continually raising our voices against the injustices we are fighting.
Our voices are being heard and progress is being made, but not enough, and so the struggles continue.
As First Nations, we are still here and will continue to be, for we are in our homelands, we are embedded in the land and we tread where our ancestors once trod. They started the fight and we will finish it.
When Canada celebrates its 150th, we know our governments have been around since time immemorial and that is something for us to celebrate. Canada is in its infancy with much to learn about First Nations peoples and how they have yet to settle fairly with us.
While Canada celebrates, there must be recognition that not only must there be commitments from governments, but there must be effective action.
We heard all kinds of promises from Justin Trudeau and his party when they were campaigning â that there would be a nation-to-nation relationship, that they would live up to a promise of free, prior and informed consent for development on our land, and that there would be no other relationship as important as the one with First Nations.
Empty promises. Words are so easy to say, but putting them into action is a whole different matter.
Are federal and provincial governments afraid of the power of First Nations governments and that we may in fact become too powerful? Are they afraid we will stop development that may in fact save the earth from climate change, drought and ill health?
Are they afraid that recognizing, acknowledging and acting on past grievances and preparing for the future will be too costly for them or take something away from them?
I donât know why it is so difficult to work with First Nations in a good way, but I do know that I have dedicated my life, my energies, and my knowledge, with the strength of the ancestors, to protect what is important to us and will continue to do so.
I have not seen enough progress to feel that I can rest easy. I will stand with the next generation to continue what our ancestors started.
It is a shame that our children are not able to benefit from the fruits of our labour and instead have to step into the fight with less patience, more education and a stronger determination to bring an end to what has been going on for 150 years.
Those modern warriors are my hope.
I am a proud Hupacasath woman of the larger Nuu-chah-nulth Nation. This is my nation, where my allegiance lies. I may live in this country called Canada and carry a Canadian passport, but that has no meaning to me â yet.
We are all here to stay; how we live together is up to us. It is a big order, but one that can be achieved. This means we must end our current colonial relationship, and in its place, we must create a new one that respects our humanity and rights as Indigenous Peoples.
First Nations donât need reconciliation. We need peace on our lands â and this begins with our relationship to the land and to each other.
Canadians can learn from us how to live peacefully with us on our lands, to be in good relationship not only with First Nations but also with our lands and waters.
In the era of climate change, this relationship building will be critical to our well being and to our responses to the ecological, political, and economic crises that will come with a rapidly changing climate.
Canada can celebrate its 150th, but I wonât be at the parade or fireworks, or celebrate in any way. It is not my party.
18 million Americans live in communities where the water systems are in violation of the law; the EPA knows of the issues and has done very little to stop them.
And this is just lead violations, thereâs tons more cities with undrinkable water for other reasons. 18 fucking million people out here in the usa living with water thatâs literally toxic to them. but yeah lets pretend the united states is the epitome of luxury when people canât even get god damn water to fucking drink.
whats worse, you canât sell a house with toxic water, and you canât turn off the water without losing your kid. so you gotta pay for toxic fucking water.
your home needs running water otherwise the children get taken away to a foster system we already know is supremely more fucked than even most abusive households.Â
notwithstanding the fact that these children would be taken from loving households whose parents just got fucked over by the state and donât have fucking access to clean water, which is beyond their fucking control.
And itâs gonna get worse because on request of the president the head of the EPA is gonna reverse the clean water rule that protects the drinking water of over a hundred million people.
Trump accuses âMorning Joeâ co-host of âbleeding badly from a face liftâ in Twitter rant
Trump on Thursday sought to impugn the co-hosts of MSNBCâs Morning Joe, accusing Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of not only being unintelligent and mentally unstable, but also alleging that Brzezinski once had a face lift.
Trumpâs tweets lit up Twitter, with many saying they were unbecoming of the leader of the free world, and others saying they dripped with misogyny. Read more (6/29/17 11:50 AM)
Trump faces blowback from all sides following Mika Brzezinski âface liftâ tweet
Critics from both sides of the aisle agree: President Donald Trumpâs âface liftâ Twitter attack on Mika Brzezinski isnât a good look.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was among the first prominent members of Trumpâs own party to slam the president for the tweet, saying the presidentâs Twitter commentary ârepresents what is wrong with American politics.â Read more (6/29/17 11:50 AM)
