as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:
we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.
the climate crisis is here, all around us

People are dying and losing their homes while these dipshits blame women and people of color for it. Nothing but contempt for these despicable opportunists.

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.

It’s important to note that the Cholula at Tryst is plentiful. This is important. We still don’t know where it went at Open City, and that’s a breakfast concern.

I agree. It makes me think of the ways we talk about community as a place of extraction for upliftment of self. The idea of others supporting the one but not the reciprocity of that support. Or that reciprocity being a fond remembrance like an attaboy for helping me. Instead of an even exchange.

Random, but my drink matched my shirt today. That was blue pea flower matcha, which I got because they ran out of lemonade.

Ok intro, at least partial. I support small business development through social, environmental, and economic justice oriented programs. I am also an artist (for fun not for sale). I have 2 cats; they are cute. I live car free.
