“Turning Back the Clocks”

a climate poem

Set in my San Fernando Valley childhood home in November of 1971. Centered around my remarkable mother, radiant in her hopefulness.

Goodness, every time I find some piece by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social that I have not previously read, I get to have that amazing experience all over again -- appreciating the prose, the insights, the deep and abiding humanity.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Based on the group chat texts, it's not clear that the Commander-in-Chief made the final decision.

"The core thing that was supposed to happen in these decision-making procedures clearly didn't happen," says Hayes.

We’re building the largest one-day mobilization in years.

Nothing stops authoritarians in their tracks like organized people power — and we’re organizing it in communities throughout the country.

All this work depends on people taking real life action. Join us on April 5: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...

Sanders: In our form a government, unless you are a coward, you don’t sue the media because they report on things you don’t like.

You know who understands risk? Actuaries. And guess what they're saying: "... the plausible worst-case hit to global economies would be 50% in the two decades before 2090."

I'm bad at budgeting, can someone tell me whether 50% is a lot?

This is the shape of the crisis: to prevent cataclysmic climate breakdown, we have to RADICALLY cut carbon pollution at a completely unprecedented rate. All prior climate policy has failed.

Any university without a massive, cross-disciplinary program to inform this task is part of the problem.

What is the color of the sky tonight?
