this week's post dissects why naive optimism and fatalistic pessimism are not fundamentally less embarrassing responses to climate change than outright denial and then offers examples of actions we can take margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/beyond-cli...

Trans people are facing a decades-long, escalating, international effort to drive them out of society supported by some of the richest, most powerful people AND governments in the world and you are right that a few of them being snippy with you on social media is, essentially, the same thing.

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

Touching grass isn't enough; you gotta touch dirt. Put some seeds in some dirt, put some plants in some dirt. Remind yourself that the future exists, that you have some power to change it, that life is fragile but incredibly persistent and unspeakably beautiful.

I think that believing that we can grow old is a political tactic, it is a strategy in the struggle to fight for the future we want to see; to push against apathy, nihilism, and giving up; to commit to being in the fight for the long haul.

Because I didn’t. For so many reasons, I had a hard time thinking about even reaching adulthood, and I know I’m not alone in that. I have seen this in my friends, older and younger. How we talk about it changes, and the reasons change, but I see a pattern that I want to explore.

An elderly cartoon witch. She is a wrinkled old Chinese woman with a crooked back, long white hair and a gnarled wooden cane. She wears a long, loose robe with an ornately embroidered vest on top, and a wide-brimmed brown hat. Her clothes are in shades of cream, brown and blue. On her cane hangs a jade-green tea pot, and from it swirls a mass of steam that wraps around her.
