Just a few more hours left to get 20% off annual membership to @Currently!

We are building a new weather service for the climate emergency — a service that helps you make sense of the changing weather, helps you make decisions for safety & joy, and helps advance climate justice.
Since launching in June with a mission to connect people around the world with personal, human-scale weather & climate context to help everyone survive & thrive in the climate emergency, @currently has expanded to 25 cities across North America & Europe with more on the way.
Our weather newsletters are a window into the kind of meteorological poetry and climate justice that have become a daily companion for thousands of people.

The system isn't broken, it's working exactly how it was made to: to protect the status quo at all costs.

We need fundamental, structural, systemic change. Change on a scale that matches the existential crisis we are in.

At this point, we have no other choice.
I mean this with my whole heart:

Find the people & places & creatures you care most about in this world, join together with them in solidarity, do literally everything you can to support each other for the next 8 years.

If every single one of us does that, it will be enough.

I'm really upset that @TEDCountdown decided to invite fossil fuel CEOs to their kickoff conference for #COP26. And glad this happened to the head of @Shell.

“On a conference about the future of our climate, it is unacceptable to include fossil fuel CEOs.”
gizmodo.com/shell-ceo-roas…
Not only did @TEDCountdown invite the leader of @shell — one of the most-polluting companies in world history, the roster is full of status quo tech bros & people from the global north.

So many worthy voices were left on the sidelines, like @KameaChayne:

We've got to quickly move beyond the status quo, and inviting the same old people isn't the way to get there.

Friday afternoon, no shame:

We're looking for investors at currentlyhq.com — like-minded folks who want to help build an interactive, personal, human weather service for the climate emergency.

DM me for a pitch deck and to chat.

Here's some stats so far:
Old school weather apps are opaque, frustrating, confusing.

At Currently, we’re building “Weather as a Service” — creating on-demand, affordable, custom forecasts to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Subscribers can sign up for our interactive local weather & climate hotline anywhere in North America:

We’re planning to expand this service worldwide with additional funding.

On the surface, it may feel like the world is barreling toward climate chaos, and we’re haggling over top-level palace intrigue in Washington, D.C. — but we have folks waking up to build community every single day.

We can't lose sight of the long view.

Moments like this come from somewhere. Moments like this don't happen without continuously building community through centuries and millennia of struggle.

In this moment of shortages and trauma, we are remembering the world doesn't just work top-down, it works by neighborhoods.
*Today* I'll be hosting our first-ever The Phoenix Twitter Space to chat about building community within the climate movement and in our neighborhoods.

I'd love for you to join me!

Some personal news:
This week marks the one-year anniversary of The Phoenix — a newsletter for climate revolutionaries.

Today, we're launching The Phoenix 2.0 — kicking off 52 weeks of collaborative journalism focused on building the world we need. 🔥✨
thephoenix.earth/welcome-to-the…
Starting today, The Phoenix will be moving to a new url thephoenix.earth and begin publishing our revolutionary climate journalism on @Ghost, to help support a growing community of open-source creators.
I was under contract with Substack until yesterday. Today I left.

Substack has refused restrict harmful speech — on gender, Covid & climate — on their platform.

I refuse to believe that any of us should have to accept a world where the status quo is trying to actively kill us.

This fucking sucks @ametsoc
I don't want to speculate but it's almost like there are some important defense contractor sponsors that you don't want to alienate? What other possible reason would you have for a willfully dangerous policy like this?
Or, I dunno, maybe the fact it's in Houston means there are some important guests in the energy industry that can't be bothered to have an extra incentive to care for the basic decency and well-being of other attendees?
