I want to write a thing about the #wvwatercrisis (besides the book) and how it feels to be six years out from one of the single-most defining events of my life.

But, I just came from the Capitol where every day is a fight for clean air and clean water. And, I’m just...tired.

The key ingredient for environmental policy that protects national security (don’t @ me), public health, and our very existence is public involvement.

Whether it’s protecting #water or mitigating the effects of #ClimateChange, or getting a #recycling program for your town...

whether through organizing, advocacy, talking to your neighbors, creating art, whatever...whatever your thing is, do it. It’s the only thing that matters in these fights other than money. And, believe me, we ain’t got enough of that.

Get involved, please; you matter so much. ❤️

@WVGovernor

Here’s hoping @WVGovernor will address the looming utility shut-off crisis. People need water—hot water—always, but especially during a pandemic.

WV #utilities have largely (and voluntarily) suspended disconnections, but most were planning to resume them on Oct. 1.

And, as much as I have criticized larger IOUs in the past, it’s really the Governor who can stop thousands from losing access to water, heat, power. Most PSDs and municipal systems can’t bear the lost revenue from an indefinite moratorium. (Even if there’s a mandatory order.)

There is plenty of CARES money to wipe out the arrearages of those who haven’t been able to pay during the COVID crisis, from March until now–and beyond. Hopefully, PSC Chairman Charlotte Lane will stop the utilities from moving forward with shut-offs until the Governor acts.

.@walkyourcamera showing me a spider bite on his leg that “must have happened in bed” is a new low in his campaign to make an early riser.

Reader, it did not work. I am corresponding from deep within a nest of soft blankets and Target’s highest thread count sheets. F*ck that spider.

Ugh. ...to make *me an early riser.

@WVGovernor

Holy hell. For someone who doesn’t want to get political, @WVGovernor sure is using a lot of politically charged language.

Folksy like a fox, that one.

“Let’s put politics aside” (illegal immigrants), “let’s don’t politicize things” (climate change), “let’s all be together in this” (Democrat’s).

(Damn autocorrect. *Democrats)

It’s like a jigsaw puzzle and we seem to only the see pieces instead of the whole. #COVID19 is just one more piece.

Who live amid the worst air pollution? Who live with the most severe and chronic stress?

Who are likely to have no insurance or be underinsured?

Who face implicit racial/ethnic bias in medical situations?

Who face more barriers to voting?

What if news articles and blog posts and medical journals started flipping the narrative so the systemic racism and injustice could shine through:

Wealthy people of whiteness more likely to survive COVID-19.

White, upper-class communities dealt soft blow by coronavirus.

From the article: Alas, we do not have a system or culture in the United States that would permit a running mate to say, “I am deeply troubled by the allegations persuasively leveled against my running mate, Joe Biden, and wish...

...we didn’t live in a world in which we had to choose between an accused rapist and self-confessed pussy grabber versus an accused harasser who’s now been credibly accused of assault, but this is what white capitalist patriarchy does and I’m actually here to try to change that!”
