My dad died of dementia too. After my mother's motorized wheelchair ran into his bed he was afraid of things exploding in his bed.

It’s likely, well, actually, almost certain that none of us knows what the greatest cover-up story in history is.

Indeed, yes.
For some people not eating beef would feel like a sacrifice. (Not me. But cheese . . . )

Giving up meat and flying are necessary but insufficient measures. Protecting life on earth requires us to organize to demand institutional and government action addressing all of the planetary boundaries, not only ghgs.

Just remembered this jaw-dropping graph by @oceansclimatecu.bsky.social showing the rate of change in CO2 during the previous two deglaciations of the Pleistocene (which, as a fun aside, featured ~400 feet of sea level rise) as compared with today

We can't save the planet by individually forgoing beef and transatlantic flights. But we can persuade people that we believe our own rhetoric about a severe, urgent, existential crisis, and that we are prepared to act and to sacrifice; or that we don't and we aren't.

That’s so interesting that this sentence is so powerful. All that’s going on there, rhetorically, is laser sharp word choice.

Until people in the climate movement very publicly stop eating meat and flying, we're not going to seem trustworthy.

I will die on this hill.

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.

When you consider the *ecocide* alongside the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland.

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot

Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

2/2
👉 People diagnosed with mental illness are more likely to be victims of violent crime and not more likely to be perpetrators violent crime than others.
👉 Pointing at people diagnosed with mental illness every time there is a tragedy like the one in Minneapolis is outrageous bigotry.

If media is not covering demonstrations that involve ten people, that’s great.
I’m pissed off when they ignore protests and marches of hundreds and thousands of people.

Phase out Norway!
Right now, climate activists from all over Europe are blocking the oil refinery in Mongstad. This week we will shut down the oil state of Norway in the biggest action ever against the deadly fossil industry.

Here is a portal of vetted research from the investigative collective Lil Sis that exposes how a small group of powerful financial institutions make up an interlocking structure that co-owns, co-lends to, and co-insures the fossil fuel industry.

Last week I said to Eren, ‘I want to see an outline of the economy of fossil fuels as clear as the one that Albanese has drawn for occupation and genocide. He said, ‘We’ve done it, it’s on Lil Sis!’ Andre here it is, thank you for posting!
