A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

@pezmico Good article.

“Unity is not sameness, unity is not “one people”, unity is a commitment to work together without anyone having to suppress their identity.”

#ClimateJustice

I say this semi-cynically: celebrate #Juneteenth today by giving Black people money. Ways to give Black people money:

1. Directly (PayPal, ko-fi, etc.)
2. Buy something from an online or in-person shop.
3. Buy an artistic creation (books, visual art, songs) that pays royalties. Buy indie if you can.
4. Back a crowdfunding campaign AND promote it.

If you see someone boosting Black people's asks for money, boost them as well.

Tell all your friends about #GiveBlackPeopleMoneyForJuneteenth

OUT NOW!!

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

good afternoon and happy Juneteenth!

if you’re a whitey it’s a great idea to show your support by sending some Black folks some cash. We need it. Many are posting mutual aid requests but struggle to meet their goals for months or years. There’s also threads of them. edit: linked thread in post.

If you have a disposable income or even a few dollars to spare I highly recommend to donate to the fundraisers, buy the art/wishlist items/etc. of those most marginalized and in need rather than large charities and corporations.

Black people do not have generational wealth because of centuries of slavery. Asking for money is not greedy and giving it to us is not unnecessary. Say that again til you understand.

@CalNativeLandscape 1. Thank you for this spot on phrase "genocidal economy." 2. If you don't already know the work of Sami academic Rauna Kuokkanen, you'd like her: "The real war of capital . . . is not against the unions but against subsistence. Only by destroying the capacity to subsist, are people brought under the complete control and power of capital." (from "The Politics of Form and Alternative
Autonomies:
Indigenous Women, Subsistence Econo-
mies and the Gift Paradigm," Nov 2007)

December 2023: A foggy night looking diagonally across Wilson Avenue. You can't really see most of the buildings. The street lights cast an orangish glow to the fog. The lights from a couple of cars cast a whiter, bluer light. The trees are barren of foliage and look a little scary.

Trump and the Racial Inequality of Felony Convictions - Capital B News
https://capitalbnews.org/trump-verdict-criminal-justice/

Desirability and feasibility of perpetual economic growth is a matter of academic debate.

As of now degrwoth is not even considered as a climate change mitigation measure in projections of future #climatechange. Instead, they rely on technological innovation and further growth.

Here is cool new paper on the challenges of implementing the concept of #degrowth in models. 👇

3/3 And really, not enough people know about Yes! Magazine. So if you're not in a financial position to subscribe, it still helps them if you share their articles. (And if you're a writer who cares about #ClimateJustice, #SocialJustice etc, here is their Submission Guidelines page.) https://www.yesmagazine.org/about-writers-guidelines-submissions

2/3 Yes! publishes good news about #ClimateJustice, etc., & pays writers decently. I've subscribed since 2005. Please consider subscribing to them, if you're able. The editor emailed in Oct, that, re "our commitment to cover the experiences and solutions emerging from communities of color and other historically marginalized communities. Some YES! donors have increased their support in response, while many–after a brief surge of donations in 2020–have since reduced or dropped their support."
