Awesome to see @IceCubesApp now allows editing of #TagGroups, a feature unique to the app.
My wish would be to have the app allow iCloud syncing so that settings, including Tag Groups, would be synced to Ice Cubes installations on all my devices. 🤞🏻
Judging by the reaction to the Barbie movie here (and knowing my classically boomer aunt) she was probably just oblivious to the subtext.
I want to ask my aunt if she was uncomfortable because she thought it was racist, or *because they pointed out the racism that actually exists*?

In an essay out today in the AGU journal Eos, @jeffcorbin, Meghan Duffy, @carlyziter and I discuss the urgent need to move beyond the "it's real, it's bad, it's us" approach to climate education. What is desperately needed instead are pathways towards climate action that engage and empower students, while helping to fight the immobility of climate despair.

“Donald Trump will do everything in his power – including roping in the House GOP, GOP electeds around the country, right-wing media, and MAGA World proxies – to turn his trials into absolute shitshows.”
~ David Kurtz
Remember when the Republicans babbled on and on and on about being the party of law and order and gravitas, the party of civility keeping the barbarians from the gates? 😂

So, 2 ways to create fascism:
1. Corrupt the voting system

When it comes to climate action, individual choices matter; but systemic change is key. That's why the most effective thing we can do is to advocate for action where we work, study, live, and invest. By using our voice, we can truly make change contagious. https://ideas.ted.com/seeing-climate-change-solutions-inspires-collective-action-book-excerpt/

By the end of this, we maybe asking are former Presidents above the law or maybe looking at Civil War v2 if the Criminal walks, worse if somehow he is reinstated as POTUS. 🤔
