Hey Palms/MarVista Twitter: my dog Aiko is missing from my ex’s home near National/Overland. I drove over and have been circling and shouting for hours—no luck. If you see a smallish shiba inu with a black collar in the neighborhood let me know. We’ll put posters up tomorrow.
She’s female, about two years old and IS CHIPPED but has no name tag (new collar and we haven’t yet replaced); skittish with strangers, but friendly. Thanks to all.
UPDATE: WE FOUND HER.
A Good Samaritan brought her into the VCA Animal Hospital. She was hit by a car and had fractures in two legs but is stable and we drove to see her. She will need some surgery to put in some bolts but she should recover well. Thank the Lord, and all of you.

Most of the “rest of America” that you’re talking about will see Buttigieg as a “Harvard elite” and an abomination before their interpretation of the Lord. Being a good “red-state whisperer” is the LEAST necessary trait in a Democratic POTUS candidate in this day and age.
It’s been shown time and again that red state voters will not vote in their own interest—they voted for Trump, who has given them nothing! They’re going to vote for him again!

The only solution is to OVERVOTE them by nominating a ticket that will consolidate and thrill the base.
Democrsts will never win by being Trump adjacent.

Competent, experienced and authentic? Already a significant contrast with Trump.

Progressive? Policy smart? And a woman of color?

Trump antithesis. Or antidote.

So save me from pundits who keep elevating the four white dudes.

OK, straight talk: @RentTheRunway is getting into the kid fashion rental business, but they're just getting into the GIRL kid fashion rental business. There's no easy way to dress a 6'2" 15 y.o. like @HudsonDYang who grows out of everything, every month.

Yes, women face MUCH greater demand in our patriarchal society to wear different outfits at events—but that's changing as gender conventions do. Platforms like RTR need to expand their offer. (Note: they don't even offer formal/semiformal suits for women. All dresses, basically.)
On that note: If there's a menswear/streetwear designer who WANTS to dress @HudsonDYang for events, hit us up. Between the eating and the growing and the wearing, I'm going broke.

In April, Alberta, Canada, will elect a new provincial government. Many may be unaware that the current @rachelnotley govt has adopted a globally significant #climate plan. Here is what's in it, what it has done, and what is at stake next month. A THREAD #abvote 1/24
First, where did Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan plan come from? (George Soros, perhaps? Foreign-funded radicals?) No. It came from Albertans. A volunteer panel led by @andrew_leach spoke w 1K residents in-person and heard from 25K+ online. 2/24
The panel also engaged with 350+ stakeholders and met w Aboriginal Peoples in three cities, and received hundreds of detailed submissions from NGOs, industry groups and others. 3/24

One thing in the way of effective action on our #climate crisis (and our toxics crisis, our biodiversity crisis, our plastics in the ocean crisis, not to mention our violence, war, poverty, racism, & sexism crises) is a terrible misunderstanding of who/what we are.
Many people speak about this as a spiritual/moral crisis and I agree. But, the misunderstanding I want to talk about is at once simpler and more profound.
(Note - when I say 'we' I mean those of us acculturated into the western industrial growth mindset, which in evolutionarily relevant timescales has only been around for a fleeting instant. Humans haven't always thought this way, and not all humans alive today think this way.)

I was in my last year of high school in '97 and the Howard Government was campaigning and lobbying world leaders against an emerging climate change deal, as revealed by the 96/97 cabinet papers naa.gov.au/collection/exp…
Cabinet submissions and decisions on #climate change in the first 18 months of the Howard Govt are notable for not mentioning the impacts or consequences of climate change at all....
The motivation that kept Oz reluctantly involved in the Berlin Mandate negotiations that led to the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol was international ostracism and the fear of trade sanctions if it was recalcitrant

TRUMP on GM plant closures: "We don't like it. I believe they'll be opening up something else. And I was very tough. I spoke with her when I heard they were closing and I said, you know, this country has done a lot for general motors. You better get back in there soon."
Trump dismisses govt report about dire economic consequences of climate change: "I don't believe it. And here's other thing, you're going to have to China & Japan & all of Asia & all of these other countries -- you know, it addresses our country. Right now we're the cleanest."
REPORTER: Are you okay tear-gassing children?

TRUMP: "They're not -- as you know, they're not -- they had to be used, b/c they were being rushed by some very tough people & they used tear gas. And here's bottom line. Nobody's coming into our country unless they come in legally"

Just returned from Bangkok, where nations made little progress towards finalising the Paris agreement on climate change that aims to limit global temperature rises over the next 80 years.

It was my first @UN #climate change rodeo and there were a few things I wasn't aware of
Under Paris, countries agreed to a fairly detailed set of promises to keep global temperature rises under 2C by 2100.

It was the first time all nations - both developed and developing economies - signed up to the same set of climate rules. But they weren't binding
Parties gave themselves in effect 3 years to come up with a text agreed by everyone, ratified, and translated into national law on a state-by-state basis. The idea is the accord isn't legally binding, but the rulebook it provides could be on a national level

Late last night veteran #climate journalist @Revkin asked some sharp questions about @Sierra_Magazine’s “The Case for Climate Reparations,” spurred by an appreciative post from NYC Chief Resilience Officer @dzarrilli. Here’s my response …
My essay is only concerned with climate change-related damages in the US spurred, as I argue, by US actors like the oil majors. I could’ve written about Peruvian villagers suing a German energy giant & melting glaciers in the Andes, but that’s beyond the scope of my article.
So I had to identify extreme weather events in the US. As NOAA has reported, 2017 was the most destructive year on record for “natural” disasters. See this tracker ncdc.noaa.gov/billions/summa…
