Among Western democracies, the US is basically in a league of its own. No other comparable democracy has climate denial so deeply embedded in a major political party, its media ecosystem, and parts of government.
It remains the largest contributor to the 425.78 ppm CO2 currently in the atmosphere.

Great 🧵!
So many ways to tame the "overwhelm."
Reduce, reuse (create from cast-offs), compost to heal/enrich soil, grow fresh produce to nurture your soul and share with others, monitor consumption, value renewable energy and community, connect with and learn from all, etc. etc.

Consider: the overwhelm you feel is the signature product of extractive systems that require exponential growth to continue.

This is your weather on fossil fuel pollution. And it's costing you much more than you realize.

👻BOO‼️
I can't think of anything scarier than this.
The greenhouse gases we have added to the atmosphere now force over a billion Hiroshima bombs worth of heat into the Earth system every year.

Our current Healthcare SYSTEM...
An Analogy:
Patients are pinballs in a pinball MACHINE played by a high scoring teenage pinball wizard of the 1970s.
At least that is how it feels to me as a new patient.

What we must all remember from the Gaza genocide is that the international system is rotten to its core and needs to be completely replaced.
We cannot accept a system where Western governments and leaders can commit genocide and war crimes with total impunity.

Growing and preserving food is a lot of work, and access to land and time to do so isn't (yet) distributed fairly. But in the pockets where it is possible it's an act of connection, of divestment, of re-investment, and sometimes, healing.
Sometimes a little order is therapeutic. 4 months after we moved the pantry is getting organized

I think one challenge in living among so much uncertainty and tragedy is the way capitalism has taught us that our quiet, domestic moments don’t count for anything. (1/6)

The sun gives us 10,000 times more energy than we use.
A few weeks of sun is more energy than all known reserves of oil, gas, and coal.
The sun's energy is free.
Solar power was invented in the 1800s.
But yeah, let's keep burning the stuff that is quite literally burning down our world.💡

As much of the US braces for extreme heat, statistics show 2,000 die from it annually
As extreme heat is forecast to invade most of the United States this week, health departments are warning people to take steps to survive.

"Strength is a collective power we draw from one another" 💚
Check on your strong friends. Ain’t a one of us operates in a vacuum. Strength is a collective power we draw from one another, and we’ve got to have each other. That includes the ones who appear the strongest.

Thankful for a friend who corrected me on the naming of this beautiful flower, Nemophila menziesii (Baby Blue-eyes)! 🌱
Wondering what name it has given me..."lurker" or "picture-taker" 🤭. I love learning! 🥰
