I'm almost entirely disengaged from the shitbird site at this point. Anything I post here feels like complicity with Nazis, and I'm not into it. YMMV. See me in the friendly blue skies, or elsewhere, or not <shrug>

This is such a fantastic post on how misleading the claim "we will just adapt" really is.
Please read it. Please absorb every word.

Watching this young woman stand up and beg the Biden administration to stop approving new fossil fuel development is just destroying me. Her trembling voice speaks for the whole world.
I just mustered up every ounce of courage to interrupt White House Press Secretary @K_JeanPierre and urge the Biden Administration to stop approving new coal, oil, and gas projects.
The climate crisis is here now. @POTUS, listen to Gen-Z, scientists, and frontline communities

Oh dear god. Due to the heat, @NYCParks has cancelled all its scheduled programming for the coming weekend. 😮😬
We need to phase out fossil fuels NOW. Our cities are on the road to becoming unlivable.

I'm not going to maintain a presence on more than one Twitter replacement site. Bluesky seems mildly promising, especially if they add some obvious features, e.g. DMs and the ability to turn off re"skeets", so I'll be there for now

Take that in. Then try wrapping your head around the fact that we’re only seeing the beginning of a destabilising planet, while remembering that GHG emissions are still rising and the companies largely causing this are making record profits.
A bit concerning, don’t you think?

Just a reminder that the planet will continue to get hotter until we phase out fossil fuels and create an economic system that stops putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Warming doesn't magically stop in 2100.

The wildfire smoke that's blanketed the east coast (NYC and DC) and now much of the midwest is something people have experienced for several years on the west coast. It's not entirely driven by climate change, but climate change amplifies it, making these events more likely. And it creates a visceral reaction, making the impacts of climate change feel here and now, which will in turn affect policy across the US (and the world).
As it becomes more and more personally obvious to people that their lives are being impacted by climate change, their votes will change, and we'll see an even further acceleration of climate policy. That's my hope, at any rate.

I think part of the myth that long covid is rare comes from people not talking that much about how they’ve been affected. So many of my friends are just less energetic, less sharp, less capable, several months after infection, or have some new problem that isn’t obvious to others
New @CDCMMWR: Approximately 1 in 5 adults ages 18+ experience a new condition a month or more after surviving #COVID19. More: bit.ly/MMWR7121.

ALT Illustration of a human body with text describing various health conditions after COVID-19 infection. Text says, Approximately 1 in 5 adults ages 18+ have a health condition that might be related to their previous COVID-19 illness, such as: neurologic and mental health conditions, cardiovascular conditions, kidney failure, respiratory conditions, musculoskeletal conditions, and blood clots & vascular issues. Talk to your health care provider if you have symptoms after COVID-19.

I think I'm going to stop calling wealthy, industrialized nations "developed countries."
If you take the climate threat seriously you realize that industrialization by fossil fuels cannot represent the final phase of human development. Our language should reflect this fact.

Today, for the third day in a row, @TTFramtiden blocked oil tankers in the Malmö oil harbour. The climate crisis is a matter of life and death for countless people. We choose to physically stop fossil fuel infrastructure. We are reclaiming the future. #TaTillbakaFramtiden
