All gluten and lactose free, so nobody gets left out! Hosting my mother in law this year 🤗❤️

Tomorrow's menu:
Sweet potato sage and turkey sausage frittata, crispy hash browns, and berries with coconut whipped cream
Then smoked turkey from HEB, greens, beans, brussel sprouts, cornbread and wild rice dressing, mac and cheese, with tapioca pudding and pumpkin pie for dessert.

CHN Francophone Coordinator shares his thoughts as we approach the conclusion of COP30 Remarks from Moussa Elimane Sall "From my humble first reading of the UAE–Belém outcome, one thing is unmistakable: we finally have a concrete tool to advance global adaptation (and cultural heritage)...

CHN leaders in Brazil advocated tirelessly for culture-based climate solutions at #COP30. Moussa Elimane Sall took a moment to reflect on his experience with a call to action to leverage this momentum to insist "Climate action without culture is incomplete."

I am not in Brazil but I can gratefully confirm that the @climateheritage.bsky.social team on the ground there is safe. #cop30

Culture at the Heart of Climate Action Highlights from Week 1
Members of the Climate Heritage Network are making a powerful impact at #COP30 in Belém. These CHN leaders are showing that heritage and culture are essential for climate resilience, justice, and decarbonization.

Interesting. @kuminaidoo.bsky.social posed a similar question last week at a pre #COP30 #climateheritage symposium in Rio.
Many in the room who had previously aligned more closely with A were now answering C, myself included.

Omg this is my current dream NYC trip I hope it is 😘 perfect for you!

This gave me a very good chuckle so thank you 😂

Agree! Also I asked ¿por qué no los dos? at this culture + climate seminar in Rio today and got a nice laugh, but it was in reference to the silliness of dichotomous categorization of climate action strategies as either adaptation or mitigation 🤓

In the midst of one of those travel stories where a missed connection means a 24 hour delay - enter a very patient and inventive airline agent et voila, I am in Brazil only a few hours later than my original flight! I was the last person to board the flight from DFW to Sao Paulo 🤪 On to Rio!

A fallen pecan tree branch with gray bark has two semi circle fungi that resemble eye balls. It rests on top of green leaves and leathery pecans and grass.

Traveling again tomorrow, so please prepare yourselves for photos from rainy Rio and stories about communities empowering the arts, culture, and heritage transforming climate ambitions into actions. Enjoy this pecan pareidolia in the meantime 🤪

Ran some errands this morning to get ready for next week's work travel, then spent some very needed time walking in the rain

Really trying to be a good sport but it's 93° at my daughter's school Muertitos Fest (a sweet local tradition that co-celebrates Day of the Dead and Halloween). Average high is ten degrees cooler. I am melting in the sun and my climate anxiety is out of control.

Why I'm writing about climate and culture I never expected to leave the Los Angeles Times and start a Substack. Then a story about Disneyland caught me by surprise.

"a job for the storytellers who shape how we see the world"
Couldn't agree more, @sammyroth.bsky.social. I remember the Autopia story, thank you for sharing this personal look behind the scenes.

Late to share because of a post-protest headache but the Hay family showed up yesterday! #nokings #sanantonio

We must "act for the right to culture" NOW. Saturday my family will celebrate the opening of a new local museum (funded in part by the NEH) and then march to protest these callous, illegal, and inhumane attacks on our communities and values

In San Antonio it would be around $15/hr.

Already see familiar names on the list of signatories, friends from classes and from Longhorn Band - proud of my fellow alumni for speaking out about this ridiculous and potentially tragic choice our alma mater is considering.

YouTube video by City of San Antonio - Historic Preservation See the tool that calculates the real impact of REUSING buildings: The CARE Tool

@climateheritage.bsky.social member Lori Ferriss of Built Buildings Lab came to San Antonio earlier this year to show off the CARE tool for comparing the carbon impact of reuse, retrofits, and new construction. #climateheritage

This is another space where culture needs to lead the way to climate solutions. Food ways and practices are important parts of community identity. Rather than be a barrier, we must/will help foster real, lasting change. It's happening and we need to accelerate. @climateheritage.bsky.social

Recentering this morning after many days away from home. Breathing and practicing gratitude for the experiences and knowledge shared with me in Milwaukee, NYC, and Barcelona.

Late to this but wanted to throw in the CARE tool as a resource (among the many others already shared here!) for calculating the impact of decarbonizing existing buildings. I'm sure Indiana's own @andrewspotts.bsky.social would love to see something like this happen there!
