Things are pretty bad right now. One way to make them better: run for office!

A group called @leadlocally.bsky.social has put together a 6-part training for folks who want to run for office with a climate focus. Walks through all the steps. Super helpful.

Don't boo, run!

Andrea Gibson recites 'Love Letter From the Afterlife' in final TV interview
YouTube video by NBC Chicago Andrea Gibson recites 'Love Letter From the Afterlife' in final TV interview

Apparently I needed to ugly cry this morning.

This hit me like a fucking ton of bricks in a universe where gravity is a thousand times stronger than here on Earth.

Give it a listen eh, and it is my hope you will see why Andrea was and always will be my favourite poet.

I'm truly honored that my book GASLIGHT has been named winner of the 2025 Reed Environmental Writing Award presented by @selc.bsky.social.

Its David v. Goliath tale of grassroots power overcoming corporate energy interests seems more relevant than ever.

A potentially game-changing climate story has been hiding in plain sight — until now.

Today marks the launch of #The89Percent Project, a yearlong global journalistic effort to highlight the vast majority of people who care about climate change and want their governments to do something about it.

Climate activists were hacked. There was a link between the victims and an alleged attacker Prosecutors say the operation was aimed at gathering information to foil lawsuits against the fossil fuel industry over damage communities have faced from climate change.

"Buried in the investigation's court filings are the names of one of the world's biggest publicly-traded oil companies and one of its longtime lobbyists: ExxonMobil and DCI Group."

Without the Awful Roar of Its Many Waters or: False Nonviolence Won't Save You

The state relies on us creating a dichotomy between "good protesters" and "bad protesters" and it relies on a misinterpretation of nonviolence in order to get us to do it. When we resist a fascist state, we must resist the fascist state's logic.
