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.

Been thinking about this. If my daughter can go an entire year living in a coed dorm with shared bathrooms and not have any issues, then I should be ok. If I have gone my entire 48 years using public restrooms without an issue, then I should be ok.

I'm a big fan of Sharon McMahon, but when her book was released I didn't order it but did put in a request for the audio book on Libby. LET ME TELL YOU it is one of my favorite books EVER. It is a delight and what we need in this moment. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
