I'm going to share my CPTSD-informed end-of-year reflective exercises. I'm not a therapist, just a veteran of it and this is the kind of language that works for me.
1) a) One sheet of paper, 10min: what moved forward this year, even A TINY BIT: progress toward a goal or an internal shift, whatever.

I don’t know the details of the Chomsky/Epstein relationship but there’s little question to me that it reeks of vanity and utterly unnecessary opportunism. Fuck that dude. But yes, he was once a good critic. Most good writers’ best ideas are better than they are.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"
