I’m increasingly convinced that the love that powers long term climate action grows out of all the time we spend doing the things we love, in the places we love, with the people we love.
Without that, what are we fighting for?

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

This week I wrote a love letter to the novella—a term I throw around irresponsibly to include any short novel I really like—and make a desultory argument for reading word by word, and not eyeful by eyeful. Gift link via @nytopinion: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/16/o...

There is something special about works I can read in full on a rainy Sunday afternoon or in the lamplight hours between supper and bedtime.

Even at my lowest, I have never entirely given up my faith that good people working together can change the world for the better.

"The capacity for love may be the crowning achievement of consciousness, which is itself the crowning achievement of the universe, which means that we may only be here to learn how to love."
