I wish Democrats would understand that it doesn’t matter how much the oil companies bribe you, if you support fast tracking clean energy you’ll get popular support AND get a brand new and less-regulated energy industry to bribe you.

Last week, my newsletter highlighted how over 1/3 of premature births are attributed to the mothers' exposure to pollution from fossil fuels. Now, a new study shows air pollution reduces IVF success by 40%. For health reasons alone, fossil fuels need to go. globalnews.ca/news/1060157...

At the risk of posting something stupefyingly obvious: If you're among those canceling a New York Times or Washington Post subscription, I guarantee you have a great nonprofit media outlet or local paper in your area that could use some revenue. And that coverage is absolutely vital right now.

Yes, what was it Audre Lorde said? "If you can't love and resist at the same time you probably won't survive."

The thing about Black folks as a people is that we understand how to keep joy in our hearts during hard times. You see the Palestinian people doing that too during their genocide. White American culture seems to lack this capacity severely compared to us.

“Raising Black children – female and male – in the mouth of a racist, sexist, suicidal dragon is perilous and chancy. If they cannot love and resist at the same time, they will probably not survive. And in order to survive they must let go. This is what mothers teach – love, survival.” - Audre Lord

No joke here (sorry): Homelessness in Finland is very low because they provide small apartments and mental health support without any conditions attached to it. 80% of those who use it get jobs , gain stable housing, and sobriety But thanks for the plastic trash can in NYC, Mayor Adams

Such annoyance for photo op instead of getting her back inside after her potty break.

I think about this often and also how suppression of knowledge and lived expertise is a tried-and-true strategy of control, whether it’s via bombing journalists and poets in Palestine or governments not funding liberal arts education or the way Disabled knowledge is made invisible and isolated.

Just thinking about how most people don’t have access to accessibility education. Disabled knowledge and knowledge of disability are mostly inaccessible to people outside the community.

Red flags: ableism + obnoxiously proud of one’s ignorance

barometric pressure, weather system changes, storms, rainfall, air quality, food quality, freshwater quality untroubled land respected & earth-plots used with respect neighborhood sounds other people's emotions & prejudices other people's boredom

I learned to do what I can, when I can.

Skull & brain injuries when I was 5yrs old, so my body sort of compensated as I grew up w/ all of it. Joint & body aches was my norm.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”

Continued GI issues are also among the most common long term harms associated with Covid along with cognitive issues,extreme fatigue, headaches, raised blood sugar/diabetes, and dramatically increased risk of heart attack and stroke. 😷

And of course there's more.

Frodo: I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. Hope is far more powerful than fear if we let it be.

There's another key attribute of hope that doesn't get mentioned much. Hope fights. Even when victory seems unlikely—especially then—hope fights. We should be hopeful people. Full essay: www.the-reframe.com/a-fools-hope/
