   #ClimateDiary #CollapseDiary

   When I set up #ClimateDiary in Jan 23, it still felt like many in privileged Global North thought everything was fine and normal; like only a minority of us saw the #Polycrisis or #Metacrisis .

   By now, we all know, and know that everyone knows, that nothing is fine and normal, and that all these different crisis are connected.

   We may not know what to do. But perhaps we can at least connect to those around us (IRL) in truer ways. IDK.
