Nature - no planet B
Spicy food - plant-based
Reading, all kinds
Music, all kinds (choir director)
Tech, all kinds
Family tops the list
Actually, kindness tops the list. House the homeless and fix the mental health system

Heartbreaking stories like this are surfacing everywhere at ~1.5ºC of heating.

We are firmly on track to cross 2ºC and at the current heating rate of ~0.3ºC/decade we will reach this in the next ~16 years.

We are utterly unprepared for the climate chaos this will unleash.

Our heartfelt congratulations to all of our Uber members and the four drivers - Nureddin, Julian, Bill and Mea’ole.

It is not easy to stand up and speak out about a multibillion dollar multinational corporation that controls almost every aspect of your livelihood. You have done it. And won!

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.
Kind of wonderful to now have mainstream voices saying the things we spent so long being ridiculed for claiming:

The death of Ken Saro-Wiwa was one of the singular events which opened my eyes to the damage being caused by fossil fuels to both planet and people.

30 years later, we can say thanks to the Ogoni Nine for their leadership - they are not forgotten.

Paywall lifted: At every turn, the Govt has opted for whatever would actually lead to more pollution and a warmer world – even if it costs more, jeopardises NZ’s reputation, overturns a campaign promise or clashes with the Govt’s other priorities.

The politics of the shutdown:
*GOP had a strong opening position
*Undercut themselves with the RIFs and unnecessary cuts to blue states/SNAP
*Polls showed GOP getting most of the blame, no reason to assume that would change
*Dem centrists then folded on their key issue of ACA subsidies

Handy advice for New Zealanders, whose Government is toying with a policy to “move on” the homeless. While avoiding doing anything much about the causes of homelessness. #nzpol

“There are fewer in emergency housing so that’s great. We have no idea where they are. Who knows if homelessness is increasing?”
