Euphoria

I started writing my novel this past week. It's fantasy/postap. The biggest problem I'm running into in terms of plotting is that my antagonist is half as evil as our POTUS, and that feels lack luster. Trump kills creativity, and everything else

I'm having the kind of life where I just need to be wrapped in a cozy blanket, sipping chai, while someone tells me platitudes about positive change

this is beautiful

We have enough food, technology, and money to save the planet. We just have a system where destroying it is more profitable. That's not a climate problem. That's a greed problem. #ClimateJustice

Better things are possible.

I love nature because it is so honest. It never deceives me. It never jokes. (Henry David Thoreau)

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%

I painted some coasters, so that's cool

I don't know how book banning is a thing. The minute a librarian or teacher is asked to remove a book they should ask for that request in writing, with names attached, and go straight to the socials with this fuckery

This is actually insane and horrible for a litany of reasons. If you live in California, please put pressure on to stop this happening

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Along with higher costs at the gas pump and across the U.S. economy, repealing the Endangerment Finding could lead to 58,000 premature deaths from all the smog-creating pollution it will unleash in our air. Listen to EDF attorney Peter Zalzal break down the real costs of this dangerous repeal:

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Americans are already living with the harms of climate pollution—dangerous weather, unsafe air, rising costs & sick kids. Repealing the Endangerment Finding is the Trump administration putting polluters ahead of what Americans need to live safe, healthy lives. https://bit.ly/3MFZlFh

Climate disasters are on the rise, costing lives, destroying homes, and causing trillions of dollars in damage. We can’t afford to sit back and watch any longer. Sign on to demand corporate accountability for climate disasters! app.sosha.ai/s/tMzqbTi0

Real time data coming out of the world’s climate measurement systems should be stopping us in our tracks. The latest estimate shows that, this week, the Earth is 1.9°C warmer than before we began burning fossil fuels. #climatecrisis #ClimateEmergency #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-re-t...

Tonight I learned that one of my heroes has died. I loved her and colleagues' "adventures" as a child and grew up to admire her scientific work for so many reasons. RIP Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall, wildlife advocate and primate expert, dies at 91 - www.reuters.com/business/env...

very excited for it to be that time of year when i contract a mysterious illness from my children.

Deforestation kills. New @nature.com study shows heat-related illness from deforestation has claimed over half a million lives in the tropics in the past 20 years. This new research is a stark reminder of why protecting forests is critical to protecting people. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There are two types of people, those who plant trees for future generations. And those who leave pollution. The latter shouldn't be allowed anywhere near government or power.

Tiny sentinels

Since 1980, there have been over 400 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion. These disasters have cost $2.9 trillion in total and killed nearly 17,000 people. Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis. The truth is we can’t afford not to.

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)
