For everyone experiencing big climate anxiety right now, I think it’s important to remember that this is an El Niño year.
Yes, it’s a taste of things to come if we don’t get our shit together.
But it’s not an “every year will inevitably be worse than this from now on” situation
@cllantz @mike_feigin Yes definitely this! I’ve cross stitched profanity laden gifts for friends and now this pillow case for my daughter. It is easy to start (but scary to start! Once you get going it is not hard!)
@SusCrockford Willing to help others to the point of self sacrifice. On this side, a reward compliment for someone who has none or weak boundaries of self care
@llmunro Also guerilla gardening is an absolute joy! I put wildflower seeds all over, pull invasive species wherever I go. Dig up plants on abandoned lots and plant them elsewhere. Mischief for good!
@llmunro My friends and I are leaning into whimsy. My birthday is next week and we are roller skating, Axe throwing, doing archery, and watching a movie. Mischief and nonsense. We always have a great time.
@MissWhite___ Yes and the last several years have gotten …better? I’m not sure how it happened. But it was like a flipped switch. I’m not sure if my reputation is well known among the kids or what. But things are different. Much much better. There’s hope. ❤️❤️
@TechySewell Middle school is a special place. I teach 8th grade and it took me years to adjust. But I’m really happy where I am now. I hope you find peace in your new role.
