Folks: do not sleep on this amazing new tool launched by Al Gore called "Climate Trace". I have never seen an emissions map quite like this. Uses satellites and *assigns emissions to company sources* (!!) Look at what we've done to the North Sea: climatetrace.org/explore/co2e...

Vonnegut’s axiom that we become what we pretend to be applies even when we don’t realize what we’re pretending to be.

wip the upside of the +5 yrs of duress fm having to replace a leaky outside wall of our house (including 2 yrs during covid w a tarp over the whole house) is that i got my 1st chance to design a space here’s a corner of it i’ve been working on everything here was discounted, thrifted, or found

I don’t talk about covid here much, but used to be part if the c community on x. I just want to say if you are a parent or involved w kids, maybe look into forest school. We switched fm public school to ft forest school this yr for our lo, and it has been an absolute game changer on so many fronts.

Amazing how he can talk about the need for small government to slash regs to protect the ppl & planet, while he’s actually out for big govt, the biggest govt, the biggest of all big governments…

Very good overview piece of how Trump will weaponize the government to move the US towards an authoritarian regime. All of this is out in the open. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/04/u...

Why a Second Trump Presidency May Be More Radical Than His Firstwww.nytimes.com Donald Trump has long exhibited authoritarian impulses, but his policy operation is now more sophisticated, and the buffers to check him are weaker.

I did a little explainer on Just Transitions featuring @jmijin.bsky.social (free link)

on x this week. ppl there yelling at others for not yelling about the BIG STUFF, & i recall a scene fm a long ago movie where one of the revolutionaries tells a mom who’s singing songs for kids that that work is revolutionary too, bc otherwise they would all forget what they were even fighting FOR

At the end of the day I remain a Sydettist and come back to the question @blackamazon.bsky.social offers for centering the work one does in the world: does baby have hat? I can't fix the goddamned world but that's OK. I can put some hats on babies, some food in bellies, offer comfort.
