Coordinated, immediate international action on the fossil fuel pollution that is making the climate go haywire ought to be your *number one* concern. If it isn’t, you simply aren’t paying attention. https://t.co/sUiAN6TfF9

[Erin Brockovich @ErinBrockovich]

The fossil fuel industry has spent billions convincing people that climate change is a myth.

People come up to me and say climate change is a left wing conspiracy and a money grab.

Who has more to gain or lose if we shift towards renewables? Follow the money!

As a parentified child, I'd like to share

Elder daughter syndrome.

I grew up having to take care of everybody.

Even in my two parent household, there was this constant stream of work to be done. I was a cleaner, therapist, organizer, translator, babysitter, etc.

I couldn't go a lot of places most of the time. I do love my family so this isn't to say I have bad blood with them. I do not.

But I do realize that I have elder daughter syndrome. It basically means that I retain an aversion for commitments due to having my childhood of excess responsibilities. No pets, no kids, no partner. Everything about tying myself to people or duties sounds absolutely draining.

I'm a social butterfly! So I never feel lonely nor do I feel as if I am missing out on special moments such as marriage, kids, new animals, and a house. If anything I dream of having two gardens, a sun room, and trips to Ghana. I am sure my priorities will shift with age.

But when you've been forced into the caregiver role, it can be draining to make room for anyone else.

The above quote was from a thread I was in, where she explained why she wanted to live with complete freedom. I felt seen and it clarified many of the decisions I never wanted to make.

1. I respect the parents for acknowledging her sacrifice which it was. Even if she doesn't take the extra money, the gesture is profoundly validating for her

the definition of parentification:

Parentification or parent–child role reversal is the process of role reversal whereby a child or adolescent is obliged to act as parent to their own parent or sibling.

2. The brother is wrong🖕
She absolutely was their mom, not their sister and that has damaged her development. I'm sad he can't see.

3. Of course I can not speak for her and her choice to be childfree at 41.

I just wanted to post elder daughter syndrome, which happens to many women who were parentified but can't clarify to themselves why they shun certain responsibilities.

I hope this helps someone:) 💞

Journalists, please realize and deeply ponder that what we are experiencing on Earth is the real-time irreversible unraveling of habitability due to the sale and use of fossil fuels. And report accordingly

I’m deeply confused why parents are not joining protests in their millions. Are we that numbed out and blinded by consumerism we cannot see this calamity approaching? https://t.co/rjGAuTC4rn
