i just saw a commercial saying i could save hundreds on car insurance. well guess what? i can't. you know why? because i don't own a motor vehicle. i've tried to buy car insurance and every time i've been turned away because i don't have a car. and when i see a commercial like that, it stings. a lot

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us
