“Hard times are coming, we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope–Realists of a larger reality.” UKLG

Some assert it's no big deal, but climate change is costing us more & more, & affecting the health of humans in an increasing number of ways too. A majority of medical schools are now making sure future doctors understand the threats & how to deal w/ them. bostonglobe.com/2023/01/20/m…

Harvard Medical School votes to embed climate change in its curriculum - The Boston Globe

Some 55 percent of US medical schools now teach students about the health effects of climate change, up from 27 percent in 2019.

The Inflation Reduction Act is now law. Giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices. Ensuring wealthy corporations pay their fair share in taxes. And taking the biggest step forward on climate in our history.

Yesterday I watched @dontlookupfilm and I'm so totally screaming!! My friend @LeoDiCaprio nails the absurdity of being a climate activist right now and the crazy cringe-worthy situations I find myself in. This is a must watch and the ending is, like, dang, we could've had it all.
