On the new IPCC climate report just this: Hope is power and relevance. Journalistic cynicism (‚it’s too late’, ‚it can’t be done’, ‚why us?‘) is a form of obedience.

And Lucy Kellaway's Re-educated is brillant, clever and funny--I devoured it in 24 hours and wish I had more time in her company. theguardian.com/books/2021/j…
"How to Love Animals" is a brilliant, funny and compelling book that I am recommending to everyone I know. "What really threatens animals today is not cruelty, so much as thoughtlessness." penguin.co.uk/books/111/1118…
This podcast on writing is wonderful. I'm steadily making my way through it and finding it so interesting and inspiring. Each episode is an interview with a writer - the likes of Lucy Prebble, John Lanchester and Curtis Sittenfeld. hattiecrisell.com/in-writing… Thank you @hattiehattie!
"... when I opened the file called 'quarantine' I found it to be 158 words long and full of cryptic particles: 'Masque of the Red Death. Statue of Pericles. Tigers.' Fine, whatever... "

Colleagues in HCI/CSCW, if you're taking time today to broaden your reading to better credit the work of remarkable Black scholars, you are in luck. There is a wealth of wonderful reading to do. Here are just a few examples of stellar work by exemplary intellectuals in our field:

One of the most encouraging studies I've seen in a long time! @DanielleFLawson and colleagues found that kids can change their parent's minds about climate - with daughters having the strongest influence on conservative fathers. Yea! scientificamerican.com/artic…
Loved this book: Think Like an Anthropologist by Matthew Engelke. Brilliantly entertaining and eye-opening. Thought it would be hard work but polished it off in a weekend. Thank you @annegalloway for the recommendation.

This is huge. US opinion survey by Yale shows that 70% of adults believe that environmental protection is more important than growth. Even in the deep south. climatecommunication.yale.ed… #degrowth

Sooner than we think, especially younger generations will start looking at every major brand and sort them into only two buckets: ‚part of the solution‘ or ‚part of the problem‘. #climatechange xitter.cf/georgemonbiot/status/1…
