Global Justice Ecology Project
October 2 2026: In support of the Campaign to STOP GE Trees, Dr. Donald Davis published an article in Counterpunch on the USDA decision to approve the world’s first ever genetically engineered plant designed explicitly for release and self-spread in wild ecosystems. By advancing deregulation on such an unstable scientific foundation, USDA has set a dangerous precedent for the governance of genetically engineered forest species.

A genetically engineered (GE) chestnut modified with a wheat gene is being framed as a conservation breakthrough, but the reality is far messier and far more permanent. After the USDA deregulated the GE American chestnut for release, we asked the question regulators keep sidestepping: what does “safety” even mean when a tree can live for centuries, spread pollen for miles, and reproduce in ecosystems we cannot control?

Should My Parents Sit with my Spouse's Parents at the Reception?
Key Takeaways Creating a seating chart for your wedding reception can be a little tricky-you want your guests to feel comfortable at their assigned table and enjoy the company of their tablemates. At the same time, you don't want to make the task too stressful for yourself and your partner and that can sometimes be the case when it comes to parents. Maybe your parents and your S.O.'s parents don't know each other that well. Maybe your parents are divorced and your partner's aren't.

10 Expert-Approved Steps to Follow
Whether you're planning a weekend full of wedding events or keeping things relatively simple, your celebration will likely kick off with a rehearsal dinner, a party that occurs immediately following your ceremony rehearsal. Traditionally, this intimate affair is planned and hosted by the parents of the groom. However, many modern couples often opt to organize this gathering themselves-or involve other family members in the process.
Who Pays for the Bridesmaids' Dresses?
If you've been asked to be part of someone's bridal party, you likely already know that accepting this role means you're agreeing to both a huge honor and a significant financial investment. Between events like the bridal shower and bachelorette party and fixed costs like hair and makeup and accommodations, being someone's bridesmaid can be pretty costly. Another line item that you'll have to consider? Your bridesmaid dress.
8 Key Steps to Follow
The number-one secret to a stress-free wedding day? Scheduling ample time for you and your wedding party to get ready. By reserving enough prep time, you'll arrive at your ceremony relaxed-and ready to say "I do" to your partner.

Everything the Best Man Is Responsible for on the Wedding Day and the Months Leading Up to It

That's why many couples choose to designate people to stand by their sides to help them with the process of planning their big day. For grooms, in particular, this person is the best man. Similar to a maid of honor (or a person of honor), the role of the best man typically comes with specific duties.

From Here to Eternity
Rainshadow Eternity RX10 fly blanks, that is. Back when I was poor, meaning when I was in college spending all my money on beer, girls, and gas for fishing and hunting, I couldn’t afford fancy, expensive gear. I longed for certain fly rods back then, but the astronomical prices–$300 for a good fly rod—simply made them as far beyond my reach as Jamie Lee Curtis (Okay, I realize she was hot before some of you were born. Just trust me on this). But things were about to change in a huge way for me.

Revolt in the Universities
I still remember April 1968 when students rebelled at Columbia University. That movement was the beginning of militant anti-Vietnam war protests. I was part of those militant protests. We were trying to bring the US troops home and stop the war that made Agent Orange infamous and saw the deaths of millions of people in Indo-China. I learned a lot about imperialism and colonialism. I learned about resistance and repression. Especially resistance.

Eldest, Middle, Youngest, and Me
When you think of your children, you never think of them as one single unit. You can't. Each has their own feelings, their own attitude, their own view on the world. Thus, your interaction with each of your children differs. With one, you may be more playful, with another you quell your competitiveness. The dynamic between you and your child shifts depending on with which child you are interacting.

How to see like A Blind Girl
Curious? Do you want to see what I don't see? To fully understand your moment of blindness, let's look at the diagnosis.

Simply put, your wiring has short circuited. The problem is, the optic nerves are so small, science hasn't reached the skill level to work with those particular teeny tiny wires yet.

Disability| Humor I was researching different ideas regarding blindness on Google when those “people also ask” questions came up. I started reading them. Then I started laughing. For me, these are amazingly ridiculous questions. So ridiculous, in fact, I couldn’t help but create this post with my own answers.

You’ve heard of a haiku, right? A haiku is three lines. The first and third are 5 syllables. The second line is seven syllables. This gives the haiku a total of 17 syllables. It doesn’t rhyme. Haiku poems have Japanese origins and are focused on the natural world. Nowadays, many countries have embraced the form. Every subject is fair game. For example, see how much fun I had with vowels!
