Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

$16 billion was spent in the last election. Enough to eradicate world hunger. Twice over. Our elections now feel like auctions. A contest to corral the most billionaires. Citizens United put us on the fast track to an oligarchy. For us to find our way back, it has to be undone.

I wish all assistive devices were seen as normal the way glasses now are. Most people do not see it as a big deal when folks need glasses. Lots of kinds of glasses lenses and frames are available including very fashionable options . . . what if that but for all assistive tech?
