Something I’ve learned: never trust my initial emotional response to challenging feedback. It comes from the little kid inside me who can’t stand to disappoint a grownup.

Can we ban the word “slathered”? Just get rid of it. Don’t look back.

Linear modeling and thinking got us here, and it will keep us here if we let it.

You know those estimates we economists produce of the damages caused by climate change? They don’t include the costs of more global conflicts. We can’t figure out how to credibly put them in monetary terms so we pretend they’re zero. Our bad. https://twitter.com/revkin/status/1173562169058836482

I'm not saying it's a perfect method - far from. But I do think it provides some level of burnout-resistance.

And I'm curious what other mechanisms we might to use to withstand more exposure to the emotional radiation of this thing.

My climate crisis superpower: being a reasonably compassionate and sensitive person who nevertheless disassociates when things get gnarly (thanks goldilocks-level childhood trauma!). So I stay engaged most of the time, and withdraw into my safety shell as needed.
