Some personal news:
I’ve been building a new weather service with Twitter – It’s called @tomorrow.

The idea behind Tomorrow is simple: The weather is something that brings us all together.

I'm so excited for you to be a part of it.

Subscribe here: tmrw.is
Tomorrow is a weather service — a community of people sharing resources and delivering justice, hope, connection, safety, and resilience in a world in urgent need of systemic action.

It's weather that changes the world.
We’ll be doing local newsletters, drop-in audio chats during times of scary weather, original journalism focused on climate justice, and a paid service that will let ppl ask unlimited questions.

It's a revolutionary weather service for a revolutionary moment in history.
I’ve been dreaming of doing something like this for years – building a resource that can help bring people together at a time where we need radical reimagining.

Tomorrow is a weather service that's designed around people, not jargon. We'll be meeting people where they are.
Knowing what the weather is going to be can help you change the world — and that's where we come in.

Every single evening, subscribers will get a short message in your inbox with a forecast made by a meteorologist in your city, along with a news story, a poem, a call to action.
Our goal is to share the joy of being alive at this particular moment in history, and be there with you no matter what the weather.

The main site & newsletters will always be free. Paid members will get direct access to our team of meteorologists – your personal weather service.
When the weather gets scary, we’ll have a team of experts to talk you through it. When there’s injustice happening somewhere that needs more attention, we’ll let you know about it. When there’s a project or idea that could use your help, we’ll ask you to pitch in if you want to.
Our goal is to change the narrative of our shared Tomorrow.

The bottom line is: The climate is changing, and it’s going to take all of us to build a better world that works for everyone.

Tomorrow is going to be great, and we’re so happy that you’re a part of it. 🌈🌦️☀️

Another day in occupied Minneapolis
Right now, the National Guard is staging in the parking lot of the recently re-built Target across the street from the burned-out shell of the Minneapolis PD 3rd precinct building.

A pedestrian walked by with his hands up and the National Guard just waved photo of two National Guard hummers in a mostly empty Target
100 feet away: a giant mural that says "ABOLISH THE POLICE"

It feels like the world has switched to disaster mode — mass shootings, a scourge of hate speech, the worst of the world we must leave behind.

These are climate issues, too. Because nothing else feels possible when your very personhood is at risk.

thephoenix.substack.com/p/our-hearts-a…
When we hurt alone, when we grieve alone, that’s when despair creeps in. So we have to do it together, even though it may feel uncomfortable.

And we’ve got to change the entire system.

We can’t wait any longer.

Every revolution is always imperfect. We're doing this for us.
Also, this is my first full newsletter since the increasingly worrying issues with Substack’s abdication of protections for its trans writers.

I’m still considering my options for moving to a different platform — like many other writers have already done.

In the meantime,

My parents are in this photo and I don’t like it
Honestly though, I’m at the “withholding time with grandkids” stage of pressuring them to go the 4 miles into town where vaccine appointments are ready and waiting but they still refuse. I’m not sure what to do. 💔
Their reasons for vaccine hesitancy:

- Afraid of possible side effects
- Don’t like “being forced”
- Afraid of what family & friends will think of them
- Peer pressure “75% of people around here won’t get it”
- “I might die of Covid but I also might die in a car crash tomorrow"

Literally one of the worst companies I've ever encountered: @PrimePay

All I need is my tax document from a company that fired me. I contact HR from previous job to change my email to my personal email so I can log in. But PrimePay's website is broken. (1/?)
I login with my old email address and saved password, nothing happens. (It redirects me back to the login page.) I login with my new email address and save password, nothing happens. I see they have a "new portal" so I try logging in to that, pass the captcha, nothing happens.
I click the "forgot your password" button, I get an email to verify my address (progress!!) click the link in the email, redirected back to the same login page, nothing happens. No way to change my password. (3/?)

JUST IN: NASA confirms that 2020 was the hottest year in recorded history – very slightly higher, though statistically indistinguishable from 2016.
Several important things to note here.

The most important: The continuing long-term trend of catastrophic warming is what scientists are most concerned about. Not whether this year is a fraction of a degree above or below another year.

That trend is due to human activity. A line graph of years from ...
If you break down the data by land vs ocean, you'll see another very important trend: Temperatures on land (where we all live) are warming faster than ocean temperatures.

Also, the data is much more clear: 2020 was the hottest year ever measured on our planet's continents. line graph showing two dive...
