"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"
