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.

Finally got an Apple pencil, so I can try drawing on Procreate. Is it worth doing a class? Anyone have any favorite YouTube tutorials?

Had a lot of fun filming this with @brittanytrang.bsky.social. I was shook when she brought actual data breach notifications from Change for the shoot. (The ones you see in the thumbnail here). Such dedication!
