I'm finding it a little hard to work today with this in my head.

Antarctic ice extent is now 6.4 standard deviations below the mean. That is, I'm reliably told, a one in 13 billion year event.

We're about to see a lot of shit hit a lot of fans. And we are far from ready.

Business as usual is over. Politics as usual is over. We need to be putting our effort into building systems that can help us survive what greed and power and wilful blindness have wrought.

@timhollo I have so many different reactions...
1 - Ok, I'm ready. Tell me what to do tomorrow and I'll do it. Please tell me cos I sometimes have no idea.
2 - Why am I wasting my life? I might just go and enjoy what's left
3 - Fuck I'm scared please go away with such info
4 - Well I was scared ten years ago, better just keep getting on with it!
5 - (i'm sure there's more than four!)

@_MillieRooney yeah, I know.

FWIW, my answer to you is keep doing what you’re doing, coz it’s so damn important

@timhollo thanks. It's helpful. Some days I do wonder! (I mean, don't we all. Doing long term work means we don't know if we're gonna get it right!)
I read something on LinkedIn about how we should stop talking about the future and start talking about the now. Cos now is now and is all we have. I found that kind of powerful.

@_MillieRooney yeah, I feel that. It’s definitely now. It’s not “how will we live” anymore. It’s “how do we live now?”

@timhollo yeah. I like thinking like that becuase it's more empowering. What can I do RIGHT now, within my power, to live into being the world I want?
A simple non-directly climate related thing is running an org with care and human-ness at the centre of how we work. I am lucky enough to get to CHOOSE this.

@_MillieRooney as we’ve discussed, everything is climate now and climate is everything, isn’t that so? Caring for each other is climate action, and your work in that is incredible.
