"It's been an incredible privilege to wake up every morning, read in-depth, foundational, hopeful journalism, and then share it with you.

Unfortunately for me, that ends today. But for you, it doesn't have to."

"Copy editors make stories as readable and accurate as possible. We also always have an effortlessly fabulous sense of style. (Note: the odd factual error may have crept in to this particular piece of writing)."

Here are the three top stories according to the copy editor:

1. "This powerful essay by @LynnBerger1984 is a timely reminder of how much we sacrifice in the punishing pressure to contribute to that economy."

2. "I broke up with my boyfriend at the beginning of lockdown, so I’ve been thinking a lot about relationships this year. (if you ask your partner to quarantine together and they say no, the outlook for your relationship is not positive.)"

THREAD🌿🦑🌾🦟

Along with the #ClimateCrisis, biodiversity loss is the most pressing problem we face today. But it’s hard to understand what this even means.

So here’s a crash-course by @tamarstelling!

This is what the Earth’s living layer actually consists of 1/:
Last May, the @IPBES – like, the United Nations for biodiversity and ecosystems – stated: " a million species are threatened with extinction".

Crap! 💩 But… what is a species? How many do we have and how many have we lost? And how did we not notice this happening?! 2/
We don’t know how many species exist for three reasons:

1. We haven’t discovered all life on earth yet

2. We may accidentally have *rediscovered* some species. Several times (... oops)

3. Biologists disagree about what a species actually *is*

THREAD 👇🏾🌎👇🏿🌍 👇🏼🌏

Today's story of the day by Climate correspondent @EricHolthaus could become our collective story of the decade – if we decide here and now that we want it to be.

In 2030 we ended the climate emergency. Here's how: +

Storytelling has the power to change the course of history. If there's one story that desperately needs a new ending, it's the #climateemergency.

Last year @EricHolthaus asked:

"What absolutely must change in the next 10 years?"

Here's your vision:

+

In 2020 the most urgent thing we can do is passionately tell others that the #climateemergency exists:

– #Climatestrikes will escalate catalysing urgent revolutionary policy to tackle the #climatecrisis

– We'll finally realise that saving the earth means saving ourselves
