  2. Because, God Damn, the world is harsh. And we’ve got just one chance to leave it better than we found it. You all get it. Which is why we’re all here together. Thanks, keep fighting for what’s necessary. <3

  3. I have a loved one going through a very rough time right now & I’m sure every one of you do too. It’s hard to focus on existential climate breakdown when you’re focused on just getting by. Sometimes the best way to help isn’t obvious. <3 love and peace to everyone struggling <3

  9. The thing about dancing is she just so clearly embodies her politics of joy. If you KNOW a better world is possible, and if you devote your life to creating radical systemic change, THIS is what it looks & feels like. And we’re all invited. That’s why it's irresistible. ♥️

    People tell we shouldn't focus just on personal flying emissions, not noticing that he devotes his life's work to science communication. They tell she would have bigger impact as a climate activist if she flew, not noticing her unsurpassed impact.

    I wore all-white today to honor the women who paved the path before me, and for all the women yet to come. From suffragettes to Shirley Chisholm, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the mothers of the movement. ⬇️
