Word nerd @grist. Writing about climate + language, history, culture, accountability. Thinking about what's for dinner

Confused by recycling? Wondering why the symbol doesn't seem to make sense anymore?

I spent half a year researching what happened. I found that corporations sold Americans on the chasing arrows — while stripping the logo of its meaning.

The English language was once full of stories with “blossoms,” “rivers,” and “moss.” But these words are disappearing from our vocabularies — and along with them, our connection to the natural world they describe. @katemyoder reports via @grist:

in recent years, i noticed that the concept of "climate anxiety" had become a sort of a privilege punch line, and an emotion/experience shared by millions risked going the way of self-care and wellness culture. i wanted to explore why for @grist: https://t.co/fk1ZXr9KpC

[Kate Yoder @katemyoder]

@eefandrews thank you, Eve! 💚

[eve andrews @eefandrews]

an instant @katemyoder classic, if you will -- a comprehensive and beautifully laid out exploration of why nuance is so hard to accept or understand in any politically-tinged conversation: https://t.co/DxX7rzH0Ir

@JTommins A valid critique! There's a whole nother piece to be written about their approach. Thanks for sharing

A year ago, climate scientist @PatrickTBrown31 criticized his own wildfire study in Nature, causing an uproar. I kept wondering why he did it. I spent the summer talking to Patrick and those who know him, reviewing private emails, to get the inside scoop

Why has the history of climate change knowledge in the US (which goes back further than many today might think) been overlooked? @katemyoder for @grist: https://t.co/HpWoiuMu3F

[Kate Yoder @katemyoder]

@stopitkatie @grist @BlueRidgePublic The best news. Congrats, Katie!

[Kate Yoder @katemyoder]

@Zhirji28 @compatibilism @climate @BloombergLive I really want to see this thing in action (but not enough to make an account)

[Kate Yoder @katemyoder]

@Zhirji28 @compatibilism @climate @BloombergLive Okay, I will be on the lookout!!

Author Barbara Kingsolver told @Grist that the American Climate Corps is “one of the most exciting things that’s happening in the country right now.”
