And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’ But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’

So I am teaching a unit of a climate justice class and early in the class we are focused on context of power and safety while approaching difficult topics. Can everyone send me their favorite Climate memes and jokes that don’t punch don’t punch down?

This came from conversations I’ve been having with the faculty for a year on what it is that makes us able to deal with difficult situations largely based on if we do or don’t have the message “this is safe”  especially because what’s play for the one person is not necessarily the same for another

There has to be a higher benchmark because this would make Portland a “Lebanese food” city.
