And finished the revision. 🌀
This script has been such a life changer. From the research I've done, the crazy biotech knowledge I've amassed and the personal emotional journey I've gone on to write it. THIS is why we write. Such a profound human experience.

I wrote my new feature script - the 1st rough draft of it - exactly a year ago. And happenstance has brought me back to it, compelling a new revision, one that has made it into something I love so effing much I could cry.
I couldn't be prouder of it.
And I WILL make it.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

Saaaame.
I'm tired of the social media 'infinite scroll' of uniform vertical boxes. Of there being no context or breathing room between a post about war, an ad for ankle boots and a person's cat pic. There needs to be a redesign. Something spatial, holistic and not owned by big tech. Anyone working on this?

I am the first Indigenous journalist to exclusively interview António Guterres. How many others will listen?
A young journalist reflects on the UN leader’s responses, and hopes his messages – about human violence and an increasingly hostile planet – resonated before Cop30

Today, the U.S. faces one billion+ dollar climate/weather disaster on average every 2w. That's a massive increase from one every 4m in the 1980s.
This is 'global weirding' and people are taking notice!
The government told NOAA to stop tracking these events: but @climatecentral.org is on the job.
