regardless of political identity, for anyone checking on friends & family in the wake of extreme flooding and hurricane damages across the American southeast, this is life within the climate crisis.

while it will only get more common, we must not lose sight of its significance.

This 500-year-old portrait may seem ordinary, but it's one of the most mysterious in history.

There's so much detail that you can read every musical note on this small page.

🧵 I've put together this thread to show just how much flooding has happened around the world, and this is only for the month of September—and it's not even over yet! Please share this because I don't think the message is getting out there.

@MrMatthewTodd I lived with a family in The Hague for a couple weeks during high school. The very first thing we did after getting off the train downtown was walk to the bicycle rental depot at the station. This was twenty years ago. Their cycling infrastructure remains world class.

@GeorgeMonbiot I recently heard someone say actually discussing capitalism — “the best system we got” — is anathema because we might spook it 🎯😂

@zbitter it’s no secret that so much of ultra endurance is mental which makes it all the more wild that someone can have both the tenacity needed to achieve what Camille has done AND with insecurity that drives behavior like this

it’s wild how the many times it can take reading the same words before the message is unlocked

@lancergbp @CompletedStreet no kidding 🙄 my “pro-transit” response triggered cries from the self-proclaimed “self-sufficiency” camp. imagine what it takes for some of these folks to visit a doctor 😬

there’s a perverse distrust at the core of the American identity

Share it with the ones who *disagree.*
