“These are the first beautiful days he is feeling: We walk out in the warm sun, we laugh together, we look at a tree. Yet the experience is infused with all of this harm, all of this damage that has made this beautiful, beautiful day that I’m having with him.” @JedediahSPurdy

Climate scientist @DrKateMarvel's work for NASA and Columbia involves projecting the future. After her son was born four years ago she had a "visceral" and "profound revelation:"
“I’m realizing, ‘Oh my God, somebody I love is going to be 35 in 2050,’"

“My entire ancestral line is built on, ‘You have to figure out...how to survive, because no one is going to help you.’ I do not want my children operating in fear. I do not want them operating in a mind-set that all hope is lost. That is not my mind-set.” @HeatherMcTeer

“It’s really important to let kids know....that they did not betray the world by being born, & that they are born into a time where they can do profound good & have really transcendent, powerful impacts on the world.” @SarahEMyhre

"This has always been the work of parenting, all the more essential now in extraordinary times: to hold a steady balance between grief & gratitude, to find a way to move w purpose through a world that brims with both beauty & heartbreak." @CaitJGibson

Growing up, "there was nowhere that brought @SarahEMyhre greater joy...But someday in his adulthood, she knows, [her son] won’t be able to ski on those slopes...She follows through the snow, watching her son and his world transforming." Just wow. Brilliant writing by @CaitJGibson
