During the pandemic, Jason Segel emailed us to just briefly say "hey I really like Night Vale, great job" and it meant a lot to me. Since then, I've tried to send brief emails to people when I like their work and I really recommend it. It makes both you and them feel good

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.
