Stealing our neighbors from their homes. Building a giant ballroom at the White House.
But no, let’s not feed our people. They can go hungry.

Make it make sense.

I just read an article about the ski industry in #NewHampshire talking about how they adapt in this drought we have been in. And how the industry’s ski season is shifting. And I’m left thinking:
Why tf is the ski industry allowed to even make snow in a drought. They should be the first to conserve!

If you could wish for anything, what would you wish for? A reflection on wishing, ethics, and a really cool graphic novel.

Moral of this story: I need to read more graphic novels.

Uncommonly Musical A reflection on Light from Uncommon Stars

My latest reflection on a book I loved: Light from Uncommon Stars. I love when reality gets hit with really strange science fiction attributes. #BookSky #SciFi rebeccabwrites.substack.com/p/uncommonly...

It’s actually really not helpful for the older generations to say we’re doomed and should give up when us young people really just want them to teach us what they know so we can fight for some type of livable future.

What it is to be Human, or Robot Reflection on a Prayer for the Crown-Shy

Yeah so Prayer for the Crown-Shy is one of my favorite books now. Worth reading right now if it’s getting hard to hold onto hope. Or just if you like stories about sentient robots. #BookSky #Writers #SciFi

I Want My Taxes to Fund Climate Solutions, Not the Detention of My Neighbors | Common Dreams If we redirected just a fraction of the money we are wasting on ICE to transition our energy grid to clean energy, we could save billions of dollars in healthcare and disaster recovery costs every yea...

I actually want to pay taxes though. But only if they go to things that actually help my community. Enough of ICE. Enough of kidnapping my neighbors.

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way.

Record it and get in the way.

Building change from the local level is one way we can change the status quo and address climate change. What’s something you’ve done since November to get more involved in your local #Community? Join a club? Post about a bill? Attend a protest? #GreenSky #PeoplePower

🌏 This Earth Day we need ACTION. Federal environmental regulations are getting rolled back every day, state legislators are denying that climate change is real, & we've got a lot of work ahead of us to keep up this fight. We really need your help.

Been busy trying to write a speech this week. Hard to capture all the things I have to say right now. For folks who read my Substack I’ll put it there when I am done. (It’s free)

Everyone having takes on Senator Booker’s record breaking speech (understandably, he is such a captivating speaker regardless of how u feel abt politics)
And I’m wondering which senator is next?? C’mon folks. Constituents across the country want our reps to do more. This is part of more.
