LDMay @ldmay.bsky.social · 13/04/2025It’s a well-researched and written piece. Sadly very short on actionable advice other than “listen to a podcast and love the Earth.” For me, listen to a podcast isn’t all that helpful. Is there a follow-up in the works that provides a written roadmap? 251 5

LDMay @ldmay.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Good tip. May I add that, if you’re going to stress eat a whole sleeve of Girl Scout Cookies, take a moment to pour some milk and put them on a plate. Your stress deserves a proper treat 130 3
