**LAUNCH** of #ClimateDiary
Hashtag

I've been thinking for a while that it would be good to have a collective Climate Diary (along the lines of the Sussex Mass Observation project): people from across the world recording and sharing everyday observations, experiences, thoughts, feelings relating to the #ClimateCrisis

I would like to try out simply using a #Hashtag - #ClimateDiary - here on #Mastodon to create this and I would like to invite you all to join in and share widely! 1/4

A Few Thoughts on Guarding Your Mental Health These Days

"Most of what passes for mental health advice involves suppressing negative emotions and pretending to be happy for the sake of others. Those of us who refuse to play along are labeled β€œnegative” and identified as a threat."

A Few Thoughts on Guarding Your Mental Health These Days

How to deal with the doom.

Last week I had the great pleasure of visiting the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle for the 1st time. What a treat - so many brilliant pieces, including some @RNLI inspired paintings βš“οΈ

'The Women' by John Charlton is spectacular (and huge! Difficult to convey in photos!)

I was also really moved by the 'These Are Our Treasures' exhibition (I was so engrossed, I forgot to take photos).

I'll be back very soon!

Thanks so much @jacklowe for the recommendation ✨️

Amid the looking, listening, learning, despairing and raging, I've built something new and I'm very pleased to share it with you.

I hope it helps us. All is explained here in my latest blog post called:

@KarlHeinzHasliP 4000 tonnes per year of COβ‚‚ removal is a time machine that takes us back 3 seconds per year.

@jacklowe

We've seen this many times before: motorists, etc, get frustrated by climate protests when they're immersed in their own unthinking daily grind, but set any 12 ordinary folks down with the time to actually listen to the case for protest - and they support it.
