I think this might be bad folks
"At 3C or more of heating by 2050 [which is roughly where we're headed], there could be more than 4 billion deaths, significant sociopolitical fragmentation worldwide, failure of states (with resulting rapid, enduring, and significant loss of capital), and extinction events."
Seems bad?

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.

Old white men do not represent Hollywood’s burgeoning diversity. They are anachronisms of a bygone era — when gender inequality, racism and misogyny were the norms.

Y'know, it's worth remembering that while ONE is still "too many" with this stuff; this happened to NASA **twice** but it happens to Elon so f---ing often that they had to stop publicly disclosing the count 👀

I'm no rocket scientist but I have a feeling that the carbon footprint of SpaceX (failed prototypes + using fuel that produces greenhouse gases instead of using the clean oxygen + hydrogen mix that NASA uses) completely negates any good that Teslas electric cars have done.

Hahaha, god, last time I attempted to have sex with a straight guy I got out the lube and instead of getting laid I ended up coaching him through a wounded three hour sulk, which is almost as good.

We need to find a path forward. Acquiescing to fascists and just allowing grief to consume us is how they win. Find what resistance looks like for you… it can simply be committing to joy and real connection with people.

Collective Survival, Adaptation and Direct Action
Defiance must be woven into the fabric of our daily lives, rather than simply proclaimed at marches or on social media.

I now have the urge to read "The Lord of the Rings" for a third time. Something about a story of unlikely victory over a world descending into unspeakable evil and darkness is rather appealing at the moment.
