I'm pretty sure we need a cat right about now.

Raymond Williams said, "To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing." Currently reading Let This Radicalize You, and I'm really feeling this quote. Hope creates change, not despair.

Coping with the real world by stitching tiny bunnies in tiny jackets. A hedgehog friend might join him. And some happy little trees.

I know outrage fatigue is a real thing during this all-out assault on democracy, human rights, and any progress we've made in the past several decades. Stay loud. And if you have the means, donate money to the folks filing the lawsuits.

The new U.S. Department of Education's social media feed is a train wreck of English grammar and usage errors, ignorance, and a hefty dose of hypocrisy. They sure have the best and the brightest over there now. 🙄 Maybe they're providing examples for fifth graders to fix?

When research is subversive and teaching is protest, learning is hope.

From Black Liturgies, Cole Arthur Riley

Too often, we idolize a "middle" stance as more rational, more fair, more loving. We wear it as its own kind of moral superiority.
But virtue is not synonymous with neutrality. Sometimes integrity demands a choice.

Not even two weeks in, and the policy of going after disabled people is moving forward apace. "Accessibility" is now included in the dreaded, undefined "DEI" category. Watch for "DEIA" coming soon to a real-life situation near you.

I mean, we could have banned assault weapons, but okay. TikTok it is.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Much of the reporting on the L.A. fires is missing the climate crisis context. If you're looking for information on how this unfolding tragedy fits with climate change, this is a good resource. www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Confession: Even if I knew nothing about Robin Wall Kimmerer or Maria Popova, I'd still have purchased these books simply because they're so pretty.

Two books: The Universe in Verse, by Maria Popova, and The Serviceberry, by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
