Autism is my whole personality. Oh, also native plants and cats.

But there's also, always, this.
And this matters more, because it's true regardless of circumstances.
I've been sinking under the weight of the world HARD the last few days, and this is buoyant in ways I needed very badly.
Throw as many seeds as possible into the darkness.
I can do that.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Whatever leads people to tune out, as a psychiatrist (not than any expertise is needed for this take), I encourage Resisters to do a news fast. If we're going to be effective w/ protests & activism before & after 45's inauguration, we need to safeguard our mental health.

Thanks for your kind words, Dennis, but I don't think an hour or even a few hours of no screen time per day is sufficient to beat back accumulated stress hormones & their drain on one's functioning. I recommend instead that people go on once-a-month complete news fasts at least 3 days in duration.

Cis people are routinely surprised to learn there is a carefully thought out, evidence based, many layered system requiring multiple points of consent, including parents, already in place to protect kids as part of gender-affirming care for minors.
They keep demanding what already exists.

After seven years of experimentation, a team of researchers
produced, through selective breeding, adult corals capable of resisting marine heat waves—a useful trait in an ever-warming world. Their work showed that corals can become better adapted to warming within a single generation.
