Oh I bet that's because it's on Spotify!? Sorry about that... It's an episode of The Ezra Klein Show called "What Have We Learned from a Summer of Climate Reckoning?" with Kate Marvel, a climate scientist.
Yes! for paying attention to the convicted! Yes, for being curious! Tara Mohr (author of Playing Big) has said that fear has less room to waft around when we let curiosity lead (paraphrasing mine). A great big Hell Yes! to protesting Spirit Week. Deviations from the standard course of school preparations are just mean to parents. I appreciate that you're bringing up protest versus outrage. It's easy to do the latter, many times a day. Takes more effort, snacks, childcare and a parking plan to do the former. The attorney general in my state was just acquitted of what seems like pretty obvious crimes (multiple, very sad whistle blowers from his own team testified) that included literal trashcan fire. I only know he was acquitted because I get the paper newspaper. No one outside my home has mentioned it to me. The whole thing makes me so disappointed. That it happened, that no one seems to care, that I feel so demoralized about it to work up much outrage, much less protest. // Thanks for this post.
Ok I had never heard of Playing Big and it's now in my cart!
And I love your point about modern malaise. Like so much is wrong these days (or we just know about so many wrong things) that it's hard to work up the energy to care. I feel this. All the more reason to admire those who get it together and buy US Open tickets and a bottle of glue. ;)
I’m so curious about the link in footnote 4 but it’s not working for me!
