Today is #EarthDay2024: the perfect day to watch the new video essay on "Take Shelter" I made with Julia Leyda. It explores the storm as a metaphor and structuring device and links it to the U.S. housing crisis, extractivism, and the climate unconscious. intransition.openlibhums.org/article/id/1...
