Once again, Climate Town, for the win!

A classic anti-masker tactic is to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

There people on the left and right who will tell you this is only an issue for elites. Those people are insane. The obscenely unequal power of the rich is what caused this emergency. I’ll never cede “preventing mass death” as a cause of the mass left.

if you care about the environment and feel frustrated by the lack of progress, it’s not you, it’s corporate capture

Most plastics, chemicals, artificial fertilisers, pesticides & synthetic fabrics are made from fossil fuels & they emit pollution throughout their life cycle, from extraction to processing to use & disposal. Fossil fuels give birth to so many major pollution sources.

Forever chemicals are so long-lasting + difficult to remove that very high levels can mean some water just is no longer usable as a drinking water source. With so much pressure on water resources, we cannot afford to let PFAS pollution build. share.google/zUhnlzVq2XgA... 2/2

I'm assisting with sample gathering tomorrow for microplastics at my city's local drinking-water reservoir and, ngl, I'm terrified at what the results might show. I'll share the findings once they're published this spring...
