I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

Fun fact. You can provide comments, reviews, corrections, and notes to Google maps. I highly recommend it. It's like any Google review. It might not convince them to change it, but a million reviews saying this is labeled wrong can help.

Just enjoyed a timely talk by @lesliedavenport.bsky.social featuring the “climate emotions wheel” - a reminder there’s no one right way to feel about climate change, the important thing is to acknowledge and tend to the full range of emotions so they don’t come out sideways.
Climate Emotions Wheel - a multicolored wheel highlighting a range of climate emotions falling within four overarching categories:

Positivity, including interest, empowerment, inspiration, empathy, gratitude and hope

Fear, including overwhelm, panic, powerlessness, anxiety and worry

Sadness, including guilt, shame, grief, depression, loss, loneliness and despair

Anger, including disappointment, betrayal, frustration, outrage and indignation

*staring into the camera with the light behind my eyes entirely extinguished*
Through the African American Policy Forum, she launched the #WhyWeCantWait campaign, calling for the programme to be expanded to include girls and young women of colour. Prominent Black feminist leaders and advocates including Brittney Cooper, Barbara Arnwine, Lisalyn Jacobs and Fatima Goss Graves threw their support behind it. An open letter, signed by more than 1,000 women and girls, urged the administration to realign the initiative with the principles of inclusion and shared fate that had long underpinned struggles for racial justice. The groundswell widened further with a second petition backed by high-profile white feminists including Gloria Steinem, V (formerly Eve Ensler) and Jane Fonda.

Crenshaw was invited to the White House to discuss the initiative, but the encounter only underscored how little space there was for the argument she was making. She recalls being interrupted by Obama’s chief of staff, who, she says, incredibly, told her she perhaps didn’t understand the meaning of intersectionality. Afterwards, she found herself shut out of the administration.
