Otherwise, panels aren't fair to the people on them OR to the audience. And they're just not effective either. Because the panelists are giving all this super fucking hard information, and yet the audience isn't able to *process* it. They just suck it up and don't know what to do

I think this has been true for quite a while, and it's interesting to watch recent events in NYC, where the level of bottled-up anxiety is high, and people attend talks looking for absolution.

We absolutely need to create spaces EVERYWHERE for people to work on climate grief, anxiety, rage. This is so obvious yet so over looked.

A wonderful thread. Thanks for digging @emahlee and thanks for sharing @daveregrets

Shoot! I’m getting this error when I click on the video: “Video unavailable This video contains content from Home Box Office Inc., who has blocked it on copyright grounds.”

Though I can’t view the video I can imagine why brutal honesty also feels encouraging to me... because it shows someone having the courage to face the horror of our present reality head on. That kind of courage inspires me.

It’s almost a relief when someone says how bad it is, completely straight, holds nothing back. Because if we can finally look at it, as fully as we possibly can, then we can face it in a real way. Together.
