You're going to read about the climate heat using these "normal" words but the temp above too hot, is death.

It doesn't just feel hot, it kills. Thats how hot climate "warming" gets.

"In Palm Springs — where Friday's high temperature was forecast to hit 116 degrees — many homeless people left to contend with the heat on their own.

"I don't know how anyone can do it," he said. "I feel so bad . . . there's not much I can do."

Build sun, wind. All of it, NOW

Weekend Mastodon Musings

It's a bit sad to see so many have moved on to blue sky and threads .... we've seen people come and go before, but this time a sizeable group of folks have vanished.

You guys just have to be cool about non-binary people. Or compromise and shoot for 40% less fucking weird. Who cares if you’ve “heard of” things before? You are literally awake right now and you’re gonna find out new things. Are you, like, okay babe? What is this about? What are you not getting? Take a lap. Call your mom or something. You’re fine, it’s literally fine. Things were fine and they’re still fine. You’ve used a singular “they” before, I promise you. People run 10Ks. You can do this.

Look who just walked in after almost four weeks 😱🥰

He’s lost a lot of weight & scarfed down a plateful of food in seconds, but otherwise apparently very noisily happy to be home 😺

I’m speechless & hugely grateful that the universe continues to move in mysterious ways 🙇‍♂️

If you don't break down crying at least once a week, are you actually paying attention?

Seriously though, what do you do to deal with reality without breaking?

Ronald Reagan appointed an #evangelical #Christian named James Watt to head the #Interior department, which is a major player in US environmental policy. Watt didn't think it was important to protect the #environment because "I do not know how many future generations we can count on until the Lord returns."

I'm old enough to remember this well. It was a stellar example of public harm caused by private delusion, tolerated and applauded by millions.

My life is remembering the right etiquette for the right culture and drinking the right amount and knowing what to do in the disaster and wearing the right clothes and makeup and having the right hair and nails done ahead of time, and having the proper media schedule, and knowing which greeting is appropriate, how to code switch, and listening at the right time, and when to be quiet all when carrying the weight of a crisis and catastrophe.
