As a climate scientist I am quite sure I could use this reply at least two dozen times per week.

Oh Happy Day! I'm thrilled @turnerschofield.bsky.social has turned his play into a film. It is deeply moving, witty, smart, and hilarious. See it and share it. You won't regret it.

"Now, for the first time since 1948, AFSC along with dozens of other international organisations is threatened with a ban from the Israeli government that puts lifesaving humanitarian work in jeopardy. This would have a devastating effect on the people of Gaza. And it cannot come at a worse time."
