It's also important to plan things to look forward to. Movies to watch, books to read, time with family and friends, meals, cuddles with a pet, a vacation; both short and long-term things that will bring you joy, comfort, and a sense of community. These are essential to making it through tough times

Did you know NDAs between data centers and local governments are *common* and the issue’s never even really been litigated?

We could all use a little baby Bao right now. 💙

I feel very strongly that now is the time for NIMBY’s to shine. Every regulatory and procedural lever should be tested. Slow them down.

Everyone i talk to feels like they are working too hard given how much is breaking down. We need us here for the long haul. It's ok to not finish that thing today. To try again tomorrow. To ask for more time. To let up the pressure on yourself and let someone else step in.

In case you needed to be reminded about positive forces for good in the world today:

Improving public transit is a climate solution! 🚎 Free buses “is not as sexy as something like solar. But these are the exact type of policies we’re going to need to actually address climate change, because it addresses people’s standards of living.” - Dan Jasper https://bit.ly/3KA1X6E

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE. This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

capitalism + fossil fuel pollution + racism: hand in hand in hand

This is a great reframing. And also consider this same question within the framework of orbital debris. How many do we need knowing that once they are defunct there is a time delay before they are removed from the system.

Barn Owls are one of the species that suffer the most rodenticide poisoning. We’re killing the best weapon we have against rodents w/ our inability to use proper pest control management.

I worked on WDFW's climate risk assessment so this is especially heartwarming. Every vulnerability assessment and adaptation plan should have accompanying works of art and poetry to celebrate implementation.

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

After two weeks of #COP30 negotiations, countries agreed to BEGIN DISCUSSIONS on fossil fuel phase out. And as the article says, "they achieved this incremental progress only in the teeth of implacable opposition from oil-producing countries." THIS is the problem with requiring unanimous decisions.

The best Black Friday deals are at your local library.

I guess I’m just saying that the viability of a clean energy transition has two elements: that it’s technically possible (“we have the solutions”) AND that we can have the courage and determination to fight to implement those solutions and win.
