This year I’m @flyingless by replacing my flights between SF and LA with train rides. Going by Amtrak is half the price, hassle, and emissions of a flight.

Bonus: I get time to read and work with a view.

@jessieteaa Can confirm I tested it and it does everything I need it to do:

I'm excited to announce Wren's latest fundraise! Late last year, we had the opportunity to partner with @ncsh at Adjacent to give Wren the funding it needs to grow (to the tune of $4.9MM)!

Last summer, my housemates and I were evacuated twice because of Napa fires for weeks at a time.

This is what living in California is going to look like every year for the rest of our lives, unless we start taking climate action today! 😔

TIL that gunner's quoin in mauritius looks kind of like stitch and baby yoda's brainchild. thanks @googleearth

I've been using @scoopsofjam at Wren for a while now — no more 100+ comment Slack threads when we're click testing a new feature! 😌

Let me know if you need a better way to leave feedback directly on your website and I'll get you an invite 🍓🍰

This is the event that got me thinking that maybe I could be a founder. It's been three years, but I still remember @LauraBehrensWu's and @APatelThompson's talks about Shippo and Poppy — thanks for inspiring me & thanks YC for bringing together these role models :) https://t.co/YGfDu3EQ5D

What can you do right now to help with the climate crisis? A thread:

The public benefit corporation structure makes it possible for a business to have a mission, instead of focusing only on profits. For Wren, the PBC model helps us quickly scale our impact while committing to an unwavering mission and values. Here's how: (1/8)

@TalentMngrLANY @jjacobs22 For sure, not a fan of Hansel either. After listening to the ep, it doesn’t seem possible to pretend to be someone else and hope that that will tell us much about that person’s life/struggles vs. just letting that person share their experiences themselves. What do you think?

[Mimi Tran Zambetti @mims_tz]

@jjacobs22 Takeaway was that walking a mile in someone else’s shoes doesn’t amount to much if you can easily step back into your own shoes when you get tired :(

[Mimi Tran Zambetti @mims_tz]

@jjacobs22 There’s a good Code Switch ep. on the limits of empathy - this story is about Grace Halsell, who spent a few months passing as a black woman in the 60s and wrote about it. https://t.co/12MKahBZYN

“It’s time for the environmental community to learn from us, not exploit us. It’s time to open up your purse, listen, and change.”

”The difference is about the same as a decade of fossil fuel emissions from the UK, Germany, France and Canada put together.”
Tropical forests are rapidly losing their ability to absorb carbon.

The fact that this isn’t on every front page is terrifying. https://t.co/ElhxAQTI8L

[Wren 🌱🍉 @project_wren]

Know anyone working on getting carbon out of our atmosphere? Send them our way, Wren is looking for more projects! https://t.co/jxKrfvPnD7

@anquetil and when you try to get a closer look it’s still unreadable

[Charlotte Wilder @TheWilderThings]

Terrible things happen every day, but when someone like Kobe — who seemed so untouchable, so omnipresent and larger than life — is taken away it really drives home how absolutely nothing is guaranteed and our time here is pretty precious
