Okay, I have to do a thread on this pretty amazing article because it is just seriously chockers with eye-opening stats about 'direct air capture' - ie, sucking up air and trying to remove carbon dioxide from it news.mit.edu/2024/reality...

This hits so many nails. For me, it’s the gutting reminder that it took 150+ years to get from the Reformation to the Enlightenment. I’m not sure what counts as the start of whatever historians will call this period, but my god that’s a long way to go.

I love this case study. It really captures not just the material principles of circularity but also the social and cultural ones. A beautiful example of how we can fundamentally shift from zero-sum, extractive systems to regenerative relationships that create common value.

Similar but different, my new word is “Seasonance” - seasonal dissonance. As in “Having a bad case of seasonance today in Toronto; it’s Nov 18th and I’m wearing a tank top.”

I've argued we need to have this convo out loud. Here it is. Does it help? Does it inspire necessary empathy or just validate existing views? Does it give credence to perspectives based on objectively false premises? Or reveal ethical nuance we can't ignore? Give me your hot takes.

First post feels like walking into a party full of strangers and not knowing what kind of party it is. Do I lead with “and what do you do for work?” or show you my boys’ baby pics while lamenting “they are both taller than me now.” Or ask “how you enjoying the end of civilization?” Weird clown pic?

I’ve been in a clown war with my best friend for 20+ years and I’m losing. So this year I took portraits of all the clowns and turned them into Christmas ornaments which I will individually wrap and give as gifts to each member of her family. There are 5 clowns in the collection and right now I have 4 of them (the one she has is the ugliest but still). And this ornament tactic, while brilliant, does not actually get these clowns physically out of my house and into her possession - so I’m still working on it and open to ideas.

Also: climate change is real and caused by the burning of fossil fuels. And it’s not an all or nothing thing - every bit matters. Every bit helps. So don’t give up.
