At a packed meeting in Darien, Georgia Thursday, officials failed to answer questions about the origin of a controversial zoning rewrite for the historic Hogg Hummock community on Sapelo. But the Gullah Geechee people who call the island their ancestral home know it didnโ€™t come from them. They were excluded from the planning, they say.

We love thinking about how our science + society coverage can better inform, engage, and empower you. That's why we are partnering with the Solutions Journalism Network to pilot the Whatโ€™s Working Factbox.

Embedded within our stories, the window connects you with articles from the Solutions Story Trackerยฎ produced by us and our friends like Next City, Yes! Magazine, and the Christian Science Monitor.

So here's the deal: We currently have 2,522 (and counting) followers on Twitter, and we want to exceed that on Mastodon before our Editor-in-Chief @alexip718 heads to Colorado for ScienceWriters23 conference in one month. Can you help us get there?

@wesley for everything non-"Cop City", Mastodon received almost an entire order of magnitude more reactions, especially on Fridays. However, since a lot of "Cop City" coverage (and announcements from City of Atlanta) occurs on Twitter, we are still there to keep a pulse on things

For years, solar panels were too expensive for most churches and other nonprofits to consider. Federal tax credits that cut costs by up to 30% were available to homeowners but inaccessible to churches that donโ€™t pay taxes.

The Inflation Reduction Act, passed in August 2022, changed that situation.

Is Manasvi on the Fediverse?

PERSPECTIVE: When Manasvi Verma moved over 8,000 miles from New Delhi, India to St. Louis, she ate less of her Dadi's kadhi, but more of her roommate's mom's chicken noodle casserole. How has that changed her from the inside out and the outside in?

On Tuesday, the most valuable company in the world delivered a letter to California Senator Susan Eggman expressing its support for SB 244, a โ€œright-to-repairโ€ bill that would make it easier for the public to access the spare parts, tools, and repair documentation needed to fix devices.
