This is so awesome, and long overdue for movies. "To pass this test, Good Energy says a story must demonstrate two things: “climate change exists” and “a character knows it." indiewire.com/news/business/…

Now There’s a Bechdel Test for Climate Change in Film

If this story is correct, Joe Biden has just done more than any president before him to check the expansion of dirty energy (and helped American consumers at the same time). Such thanks to all who fought so long, starting with @Mzozane⁩ nytimes.com/2024/01/24/clima…

White House Said to Delay Decision on Enormous Natural Gas Export Terminal (Published 2024)

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica. Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event. Hang onto your hats. HT @EliotJacobson

The best journalistic take I’ve seen yet on our political malaise is @Emilynussbaum’s deep dive into the current state of country music. Even if you have zero interest in country music, you must read it. newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

Country Music’s Culture Wars and the Remaking of Nashville

Tennessee’s government has turned hard red, but a new set of outlaw songwriters is challenging Music City’s conservative ways—and ruling bro-country sound.

Great piece about Dykes to Watch Out For on Audible.
Maggie Lange@maggielange1 Jun 2023
here, queer, and now with sound effects!! wrote about the audio translation of “Dykes to Watch Out For” nytimes.com/2023/06/01/style…

‘Dykes to Watch Out For,’ Now Holding Forth in Your Headphones (Published 2023)

The long-running comic strip by Alison Bechdel, the creator of “Fun Home,” first held up a mirror to its queer readership in 1983. So what does a new audio adaptation have to say to listeners today?

Just, Wow. washingtonpost.com/education…

Their high school canceled an LGBTQ play. These teens put it on anyway.

Their Indiana school rejected "Marian." So, after three frenzied weeks of preparation, they took their revolt offsite — and staged it at an outdoor theater.
