I lost my mother when I was twelve. In my new novella, RATS: A Tragedy of Timeline Tourism, I go back to that most tragic - and deeply awkward - part of the timeline...2002.
Part “memoir” and part sci-fi fugue state, you’re gonna wanna read this one!

When I'm burned out, I think about two things:
1) George Bernard Shaw saying "I want to be thoroughly used up when I die..."
2) George Bernard Shaw working in a hut in his garden where he was not to be disturbed
It's about...balance?

Is your #halloween #pumpkin getting a little sad? Make sure you take it to a composting pumpkin smash!
Each pumpkin that goes to land fill can create as much as 0.4 pounds of methane, as much as driving a gas car 13 miles!
Then multiply that by the 2 billion pumpkins we have each year... 👻😱

Now is definitely the time to call your Senators! Over the weekend, there was a new excise tax on solar and wind introduced in the Senate that is basically designed to kill the industry. Bill McKibben's post below has an easy to use call link
