Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

The UK is done with coal. How’s the rest of the world doing?
The country’s final coal-fired power plant just shut down, marking a major milestone for the notoriously polluting fossil fuel.
