Last night & this morning, the headline isn’t about the top-down decision. It’s about the will of the people of Philadelphia. It’s about what the kids of our city deserve, and the path forward, back to an open public museum.
Don’t let people in perceived power dictate the story. The power is ours.

By the time the museum closed its doors on Sunday, the press had changed its tune.
Hey hang on a minute. This does not have to happen. We can have better for our city.

September 1 was the day the news was delivered that they planned to close the museum.
Press printed the story that the museum was closing.
This could have been the end of The story. But the people of
Philadelphia resoundingly rejected the proposal, despite having no “official” seat at the table.

When people in power deliver bad news to you, they expect you to just take punch, accept it, and move on.
In these situations, we need to empower ourselves to reject the premise.
I want you to look at three time points in the fight to save the academy of natural sciences with me.

If you care about keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences open to the public in Philadelphia, I need you to read and share this thread.
Trish Wellenbach was sent from the mayor's office to oversee the Academy of Natural sciences situation. She needs to hear from us. Here comes the action item:

this is not a proper geospatial image analysis but rather me quickly grabbing EU Copernicus imagery from the 24th & today to see if it's possible to assess material movement and flooding impact in the catastrophic event in Nepal.

An incredibly well-timed Landsat 9 pass captured the effects of yesterday’s catastrophic glacier collapse near the Nepal–Tibet border. The event was so massive that it was detected by seismometers around the world.
