Earlier tonight our next-door neighbours knocked on our door. Weird, it was a bit late

The came to tell us that our pet was on their roof, staring in at their teenage daughter's window

OK, fair enough, but our cat is always on everyone's roof, they've never felt the need to bring it up before

That's because it wasn't the cat. IT WAS THE DOG!!!!

Brilliant post/article - climate change is traumatizing enough, but being told to shut up and do nothing about it is exponentially more so.

"I’m so afraid of climate change. I just turned 17 not long ago and I’m afraid I’ll never get to grow up because of the way our Earth is going.

"Most of my friends and family are apathetic, such as my parents who don’t like me talking about this stuff since they feel we can’t really change anything."

A teenager on Reddit recently posted this heartfelt plea...

I’m so afraid of climate change. I just turned 17 not long ago and I’m afraid I’ll never get to grow up because of the way our Earth is going.

Most of my friends and family are apathetic, such as my parents who don’t like me talking about this stuff since they feel we can’t really change anything. My mom thinks it’s completely irreversible. I hate holding it all inside all the time.

I guess what I really wanna hear is it’s all gonna be ok even though it’s probably not the truth. I’m just scared. I’d appreciate any positive news or insight from those who feel the same way and how you manage it while doing everything you can.

After seeing this, our Mastodon friend Steve Genco (@sjgenco) wrote a piece in which he offers some sound advice...
___________________________

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about what to say to a teenager like this young person to help them prepare for the dangerous world they are about to inherit. I concluded the best advice I could give would be to suggest some questions they need to consider.

So here are four questions I believe any young person who wants to survive the 21st century needs to ask and answer for themselves:

💠 What predictions can you rely on?

💠 What will give your life meaning?

💠 What skills and values will you need?

💠 How will you live?
___________________________

Steve then suggests thoughtful and helpful answers to each of those questions, at some length, before concluding with this...
___________________________

Like a long-distance runner, you must prepare yourself in mind and body to confront the challenges and dangers ahead.

The world you will be facing in the 21st century will be unlike anything humanity has faced before. Survival will require flexibility, resilience, and preparation. Preparation means engaging: learning, practicing, and sharing. Your most important immediate task is to find others who share your views and are equally committed to surviving the 21st century. Build communities of resilience and resistance to fight inertia and business-as-usual. Organize and engage in political action, even if your efforts seem at first to be achieving little.
___________________________

I hope you will read Steve's whole excellent article and also perhaps recommend it to others, especially those who are young or might have contact with young people. These are words they need to hear.

Roślinojady kochane, co się robi, żeby domowe niemleko owsiane było takie dobre jak sklepowe, a przynajmniej nie łączyło jakimś cudem bycia wodnistym z byciem śluzowatym? #weganizm #kuchniaWegańska #gotowanie

This is amazing! So much food waste can be eliminated this way.

"A Grow Free food sharing cart for residents to exchange food they have grown with each other for free. It has the simple rule, take what you need, give what you can. Adelaide, Australia"

Wszystko co naprawdę potrzebujesz masz na plecach, reszty nie potrzebujesz, bo cały dzień idziesz, a wieczorem jedyne marzenie to sen. Fakt, że możesz spać wszędzie, daje poczucie wolności.

Namiastkę, bo przecież za kilka dni wracasz na stare tory 🙂

Dziś w Krakowie miała miejsce okropna sytuacja. Dzieci pani z Ukrainy przez przypadek uderzyły piłką psa pewnego „prawdziwego Polaka”.

Później zaczyna się bardzo mocna mowa nienawiści.

Podsyłam link do z rzutki z nagraniem, w linku wyjaśnione po co. Twórcę zrzutki znam osobiście, to Radny Krakowa który w kulko jeździ do Ukrainy z pomocą.

UWAGA!!! Nagranie jest baaardzo mocne! nie dla kogoś o słabszych nerwach! Pełno tez przekleństw!

Nieźle się dzisiaj rozpędziłem, aż mnie zaniosło za daleko.

Been booted off my office chair in my working from home spot. Luckily I have a standing desk so I just lifted it up and am now working over his head.
This has also displeased His Majesty who has clawed me from below. The noise of typing was disturbing his rest.
