What's terrifying is that I've seen more mentions of it being "int'l pet day" than I have the fact the fact we're on the brink of climate collapse.

What's terrifying is the number of times in the past month I've been asked to be "less radical" in my speeches. I was told to avoid using the term "crisis", so as to not make anyone "anxious".
Just today, I was asked to be less "negative".
