"Today is Earth Day, friends, and the
Bright Green Futures: 2024 anthology is
now published!
I definitely will talk more about the anthology in a minute, but first, I want
to talk about why stories like these matter, why joy is a tactical weapon, and
how there’s really only one fight we’re engaged in now.
There’s a lot of harrowing things happening, and on this Earth Day in 2025,
with American fascists determined to accelerate fossil fuel consumption as well
as dismantle democracy and human rights, it can seem like the climate crisis
has retreated from view, just a distant thunder rumbling on the horizon.
Of course, this is not true.
The Trump administration has not yet dismantled our ability to measure global
temperature—which to be sure, they are actively trying to do—but we can already
see that 2025 is far warmer than predicted, so we’re once again off the charts
into unknown global heating territory with the fascists stomping hard on the
gas pedal."
