This is what ecocide looks like.
New Yorkers: if you can do so safely, take a moment to step outside (even on your front stoop) for a moment and appreciate how quiet the city is right now. ❄️
Cities aren't loud. Cars are loud.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Geoengineering rightfully makes people uneasy, but at the rate we’re going, it would be foolish not to research our options–both to see what might be safe and to know what to avoid. Research ≠ deployment

Support trans kids and get cookies?! Say less
That’s the woman who said whatever that guy is saying, 5 minutes ago, but got ignored.
The amount of bad shit going on is doing constant psychic damage to anyone w/a shred of morals. Idk what to do other than try to focus on actions that will improve literally anything, whether that's getting people connected, fed, refueled for the marathon, or ecosystem action. Idk what else to do.
NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.
The world’s favorite climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe recommends HUMAN NATURE!
No one deserves recognition more than Kate! Read her book. It comes highly recommended by my dad, which might actually be more meaningful than this Scientific American review
All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences
It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.
stinadeee 4h "The abuse of women and girls is the most pervasive and unaddressed human rights violation on Earth." - Jimmy Carter "I am fortunate to have a lot of strong women in my life..." - George W. Bush "I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything..." - Barack Obama "Quiet! Quiet Piggy!" - Donald Trump
Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly—
I hope midterms are a referendum
You know what would be nice? Repercussions for actions, just sayin’
why is COP still a thing?
I’m sorry to be self promoting but I a) have never been seduced by a fascist with a brain worm b) am capable of crafting a decent sentence and c) wrote a book that did not earn me a fawning profile in the newspaper but is still pretty good

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
“‘More people could have died in the past week in El Fasher, and this is without hyperbole, than died in the past two years in Gaza,’ says Nathaniel Raymond, Executive Director at Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab.” open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...
Can confirm it is not fun 🇨🇦
On the Blue Jays’ class toward Alex Vesia, who is away from the Dodgers while dealing with a family emergency right now:
A billionaire who thought we shouldn't give the poor free COVID vaccines, and hung out with Epstein, wrote some weird, vague stuff about how climate change "isn't that bad" and now the media is covering that rather than a record climate fueled hurricane.
The age of oligarchy sure is exhausting.
Has anyone done this yet?
CO2 levels the last time the Blue Jays were in the World Series: 357 ppm
CO2 levels today: 426 ppm
One of the most challenging aspects of the climate crisis is that it becomes harder to solve as it proceeds, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation. It isn't something that can be put off until tomorrow without serious penalty.
The wet tropical rainforests of Queensland are now a carbon source because CO₂ emitted from trees dying and decaying outstripped the CO₂ taken up by trees growing. 😕
One of the things that frustrates me about the “things have been worse than they are now” discourse (other than the existential climate threat) is how it leaves out that capitalism and corporate greed have never been more unfettered
I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
I'm super excited for this!
Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
We need more of this from politicians
