The world might be pulling back on climate truth: but I'm stepping it up.
How? I'm adding new videos, deep dives & behind-the-scenes stories to Talking Climate.
Why? Because climate honesty and hope matter more than ever right now.

Interested in bottlenecks? Want to know more about the politics of our economy's circulatory system? Does it make intuitive sense that climate change is bound up with logistics?
If you answer any of these questions w "yes," then you must read this book by the brilliant @susanzieger.bsky.social 👀

A good read if, like me, you feel you are trying your best and your best is simply not good enough.
Grateful to everyone who shared their thoughts with me for this piece about the difference between how people imagined they would show up for a moment like this one, and how we're actually showing up—and how we can begin to close the gap between aspiration and action.
From Aspiration to Action: Organizing Through Exhaustion, Grief, and Uncertainty

a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:
the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

some good,
some bad,

some unbelievable,
some despairing,

This is a reminder to

relax your shoulders and jaw,
take four slow deep breathes.
Hang in there and be kind to yourself.
