Today on the Edge Effects podcast, Alexander Menrisky speaks with @sarahjaquetteray.bsky.social about his recent book, Everyday Ecofascism: Crisis and Consumption in American Literature. They discuss how consumption is tied to national identity and how ecofascism lurks in the everyday. 🇺🇸 🌳

Loved sitting with Katharine Wilkinson to talk about heart-centered climate work in this week’s episode of Climate Magic. And she’s got a new book coming out! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Review for Climate Magic w/ @sarahjaquetteray.bsky.social: "For anyone curious about how emotion and action intertwine in the climate movement, this podcast is both grounding and illuminating." www.parentsforclimate.org/climate_magi...

"I can choose to see my students' annoying behavior as rooted in alienation, dissociation, moral injury, fear of their futures.. Of course they would rather scroll their lives away on Tiktok. Wouldn’t you, given the world we’re handing over to them?" - open.substack.com/pub/sarahjaq...

Why Climate Magic? "We are the magicians,"- Krista Franklin open.substack.com/pub/sarahjaq...

How can we leverage our hearts and minds for better climate action and collective healing? This is the topic of my new podcast, Climate Magic, now available on Spotify and Apple. Please share and follow! Apple: podcasts.apple.com/.../climate-... Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/6q5sdP1....

"Should we be alarmed, not just by the material effects that will come from defunding climate research, but by the seemingly innocent dropping of the mere word 'climate change' from public discourse? And what are the benefits of unnaming climate?” open.substack.com/pub/sarahjaq...

Has the word "climate change" lost its utility? Do we need to to speak of "climate change" to work for climate justice? Short answer: Yes, and no! Think this through with me- open.substack.com/pub/sarahjaq...

Hurt People Hurt the Planet: "The punisher, misogynist, anthropocentrist, abuser, and hater are all taking up residence in me. They’re not just “out there” ... I can confront those forces right here, right now, at the frontlines of my own nervous system." open.substack.com/pub/sarahjaq...

Can we make giving a shit about others cool again? open.substack.com/pub/sarahjaq...

I got my hackles up with that Princeton letter from Dept. of Commerce, citing "climate anxiety" as a reason to cut climate research. sarahjaquetteray.substack.com/p/the-weapon...

From "Ok, boomer" to the Third Act, it's good to see this shift in the role of boomers in activism. Let's keep moving toward intergenerational coalition-building! Great piece by @billmckibben.bsky.social and @akayawind.bsky.social www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Let's get money out of politics so we can get people in office who represent the people. Latest news on climate politics of Americans, plus how many Americans disapprove of current immigration and economy policies, suggests we aren't voting in alignment with our politics.

What's in a name? "‘Climate change’ sounds like a phrase that a government agency might employ to justify new fishing regulations or a phenomenon a scholar from outside the community might study... too political, too cold, too loaded to map onto everyday life.” www.theassemblync.com/environment/...

Dana Fisher's survey results from NoKings events Saturday. "Consistent with the Resistance to the Trump Administration during its first term, the majority of hosts and participants were female, predominantly white, and highly educated". danarfisher.com/2025/06/15/t...

Bsky doesn't have enough users to change discourse by itself. But clean UI/lack of algos probably makes it underrated as an organizing tool for highly engaged Ds & lefties. Protests happen, TikTok/Insta then extend reach to normies. Minimized coverage because of media cuts/billionaire throttling.

Burnout and fatalism are everywhere, and it feels good to be in community with people in the nonprofit/philanthropy world. Thanks to @jimrendon.bsky.social for being such a great interviewer and writer for this piece! www.philanthropy.com/article/feel...

Climate Magic's first episode with @jyotimishra.bsky.social aired yesterday, on climate mental health, wildfire and trauma, and collective healing. Follow the show! open.spotify.com/episode/74sd...

excited to launch a new show on our local radio program, and you can access it on KHSU.org, talking to smartie pants peeps about the emotional and cognitive life of climate politics: www.khsu.org/show/climate...

this will be an awesome opportunity.

a great episode on climate anxiety and the kid question with Jade Sasser and Elizabeth Bechard: www.npr.org/2025/05/27/1...

NEW: A majority of registered voters want federal agencies like the CDC, NIH, and FEMA to increase their efforts to protect people from the health harms of global warming. Learn more in our new climate note:

Talking to Yasmin and Natalie was so fun. They edited this into a beautiful episode, IMHO! Hope you enjoy, and share with your young peeps!

Hopeful news from CA! The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act (SB 684/AB 1243) has passed out of committee with a 9-4 vote. This legislation, already passed in VT and NYS, would compel fossil fuel polluters to pay for climate damage. Here’s more about it: biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

Environmental groups up next for possible removal of nonprofit status. Will Trump declare climate activism terrorism next? news.bloomberglaw.com/environment-...

“Yes, they’re anxious. But they’re ignoring the cause of that anxiety, which is the failure of governments to act.” Thank you, @emorwee.bsky.social! heated.world/p/climate-sc...

Go Harvard! Thanks to the Princeton pres and ex-pres of Columbia for making the interview rounds and setting the stage so we could get this Harvard outcome. Federal dollars SHOULD support research and higher ed as a collective good. But if the cost is an attack on democracy, we'll find another way.

CLIMATE JOURNALISTS! We need your help. Tell us what you need! Please share this important survey. utulsapsychology.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I’m hearing a lot of this- that the climate scientists are the one causing the anxiety, not climate change itself.

So cool. They just keep getting more and more data!

"Undermining the capacity for resistance is a precursor to consolidation of authoritarian power. When people are scared and isolated, they stop organizing... Ashamed, they go quiet.. Exhausted, they lose the ability to imagine something different." by Paul Shattuck open.substack.com/pub/paultsha...

Join me as I moderate a panel of experts on the connections between #authoritarianism, #reproductivejustice, #xenophobia, and #climatechange, and how "imperfect solidarities" can help.

"When journalism is shaped by algorithms rather than journalistic ethics, our perception of reality shifts with it. We no longer see a mirror of the world - we see a reflection of whatever keeps us scrolling the longest." nice work @branten.bsky.social: thestartingpoints.substack.com/p/when-truth...

I’m loving this book. How can we measure—and therefore better see—how climate change is affecting our lives? Reinforces how CC is a social problem as much as it is an env one. pup-assets.imgix.net/onix/images/...

This explanation is really helpful! Will be sitting with it. Something that caught my eye recently is @sarahjaquetteray.bsky.social saying 'Be less right, more in relation...' youtu.be/65Zrd9SaDI0?... (at 1h16m50s)

thank you for the recommendation! The Existential Toolkit for Climate Justice Educators: How to Teach in a Burning World edited by Jennifer Atkinson & @sarahjaquetteray.bsky.social (ucpress.bsky.social 2024) see @nichecanada.bsky.social

Thanks to WOHESC (Washington/Oregon Higher Ed Sustainability Conference) for an amazing time learning in community with brilliant students, staff, and faculty working on the just transition on PNW campuses.

How does climate anxiety explain the far right? It's not denial, and science isn't the answer. "Framing disasters within a moral narrative gives an authoritarian agenda powerful justification." thestartingpoints.substack.com/p/trump-and-...
