Remember: fossil fuel companies want people to focus on what uses#energy so we don't talk about the supply side.
They benefit from #environmentalists spending time and energy bickering with one another about whether AI uses too much #electricity, whether to support more #nuclear plants, whether we should mine more #lithium to have grid scale #batteries, and so forth.
That doesn't mean we can't talk about these things, but be #mindful where you spend your energy.
What happens when people complain about energy costs? We need drastic reductions in energy use and, implicitly, in production. How many even know what "Cuba's Special Period" was?
The point of understanding the demand side is to get onboard with drastically reducing that to match the drastic reduction in production based on fossil fuels. If production halts without that, what do you think happens - based on contemporary history?
A peaceful morning on the way to work. I usually don't like getting started in the mornings on Mondays. This was a good reminder to take a deep breath and slow down.

My professional #life can be summed up like this; chaotic & challenging.
As I wind down for the #holidays I’ve been intentional about stepping away from that chaos and finding time to “just be.” I’m learning a new #language, #reading nonstop, #biking / #Running each week, & purposely seeking out #mindful ways to calm my fucked up marketing brain that never shuts off.
Yesterday I came across Mark Manson’s #podcast & wanted to share this.
Ok fall. I see you doing your thing. Enjoy the colors and the transition of the time of year, no matter where you are. #grateful#gratitude#fall#colors#mindful
#GoodMorning friends. I have a #spiritual practice that I perform everytime I leave my house. A few years ago I picked up these #statues for my front yard. Every time I walk by them I give each one a little tap on the head or say hello. I'm not sure why I started it, but I've kept it going for a pretty long time. There are a few times I've forgot, sure, but I'm pretty good at it now. One reminds me to be #mindful, and the other reminds me to take it slow and #easy. Here they are!
#Depression comes from our past (things we regret, things that have happened, painful experiences that have implanted themselves into our nervous system, etc.)
#Anxiety calls to us from the future (negative expectation, worrying about what people will think of us, fear of change, etc.)
So the best place to be? In the now. Be #mindful and #present. Or at least try to be (I know, it's not always that easy). Kiss a loved one. Smell the air. Look at the clouds. Punch a brain weasel.
