❝ “Permafrost soil contains more mercury than all the other soil on the planet, plus all the oceans, plus the atmosphere, so there’s an enormous amount of mercury sitting in these frozen soils where climate change is happening faster than the rest of the world.

Like many of you, I reluctantly keep my Facebook account as that's where a lot of family and some friends prefer to message. C’est la vie. I only post on my page to plug a new podcast episode or, infrequently, to let folks know they can find me here on Mastodon. My Mastodon URL was pinned to the top of my page.

Recently I've been getting a lot of ‘your post goes against community standards' alerts even though I haven't posted anything. I assumed this was someone tagging me in spam or something.
