With the climate negotiations starting on Monday (and, NO, I will not be wasting carbon to go there), I’ll be pivoting my attention back to climate change and the ways we are failing to act effectively. Here’s a good overview in the Guardian to get us all started: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

What’s the point? Ten years after the Paris treaty, are climate talks getting anywhere?

Its key temperature goal has been missed but experts say the agreement is still proving a vital moral compass for progress

Climate week was an incredible journey! We experienced a connective gathering at the Mental Health in a Disastrous Climate Panel, which featured some of the most inspiring powerhouses on this topic. We hope you were able to join us last week, otherwise we hope to see you at a future event!

I first wrote about dicamba back in 2017 when most of the coverage was limited to farming publications. And there's something that I think is missed in the Guardian piece that I think it's important to note about why Bayer is doing this.

A chemical meant to save plants is actually killing them—and it's spreading

New formulations of dicamba, an herbicide, seem to be causing havoc in America's soybean fields

Trump’s America: Government of the corporate polluters, by the corporate polluters, for the corporate polluters.

Since it can be hard to believe that political and corporate elites would actively give up on our shared future on this singular planet, we made a short film so folks can hear from the end timers and judge for themselves. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor: the future according to end times fascism

In a new video, Klein and Taylor outline a ominous evolution taking shape on the far right – and how to stay loyal to this planet and each other
