On Tuesday my mid child will be 6.5 years old.
I will be exactly 6 months away from paying off my 20% portion of her $1.2mil birth.
We can't be deciding as a country to force carrying pregnancies when we wont provide insurance that covers the cost.

Russia doubles fossil fuel revenues since invasion of Ukraine began. Germany, Italy and China largest importers of Russian oil and gas effectively bank rolling Russia’s war. #ukraine https://t.co/mFRwRuqOgA

Ridiculous but true fact: Zoom, the teleconferencing app, has done more to reduce emissions than electric vehicles.

@KimSenklip You’re absolutely right. It’s a huge problem. My girls and I haven’t had a doctor for two years. Most offices I contacted wouldn’t even put us on a wait list. Walk in clinics aren’t set up to provide the same consistent care as a family doctor.

The costs of not addressing climate change -fires, floods, drought- are soon going to overtake the economic costs of transitioning off fossil fuels. #IPCCReport

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

I haven’t heard any announcements from Schlumberger and Halliburton about whether they’re divesting from Russia. If they did, it would have a serious impact on Russian oil production. Given the announcements from BP and Exxon I think we’d all like to know https://t.co/Mw2h2h945H

Very troubling. #UkraineUnderAttack

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

⚡️Belarus will renounce its non-nuclear and neutral status, allowing Russia to place nuclear weapons on its territory, as a result of the referendum held today.

65.16% of citizens allegedly supported these constitutional amendments.

[Nancy Powell @NPowellWrites]

60% of Russia’s exports are oil and gas. This is bankrolling the invasion of Ukraine. The shift to renewables is geopolitical. #renewables #energytransition https://t.co/7lukrK3OGy

@KimSenklip So sorry to hear this, Kim. Just rest. There will be lots of time for work and creativity later. Just lean into the rest and healing. Hope you feel better soon.

@hmrustad Congratulations! Can’t wait to read it. Just ordered my copy here on the west coast and gifted one to my mom in Connecticut.

@KimSenklip Started the first few episodes. Couldn’t get through it. Just finished the finale of Reservation Dogs, so good. Craving season 2 from those characters.

@isevier @edgeeffectsmag Interesting essay. Now we’re getting to the roots of present day capitalism.
