Anyone else feeling climate despair after this summer from hell? My new article on the emotional pain of climate change will be published in the book "Solastalgia: An Anthology of Emotion" ... here's a preview! #climateanxiety #ecogrief https://t.co/1FIsfezV62

The heat waves and floods and fire in the middle of the ocean really do add up to something alarming. (Thank you @bySofiaAndrade ) https://t.co/Q4zufnQfvD

RIP Lauren Berlant. To you I owe every major success. You were fiercely brilliant, original, lion-hearted, magnanimous. You were beloved by generations of students, colleagues & activists. We mourn your loss. https://t.co/5JJFI8cMhO #LaurenBerlant

[Jennifer Atkinson @wrenatkinson]

@DukePress @NewYorker Heartbroken. Lauren was so dear to so many of us. They leave a massive hole behind. But also a legacy that has left countless people better, wiser, more compassionate.
