The choices we make define the life we live. Do they truly fit with our values?
We also need to look at decisions our leaders make. If they decide to subsidise fossil fuels then we will continue to use them, our carbon emissions will continue to rise, and our weather will become increasingly unpredictable.
Please help by sharing this blog, and by telling politicians to fight harder for the Climate and for Nature.

Vivek Ramaswamy lied often in his campaign for president in 2024. He then worked under Elon Musk in #DOGE for the Trump Administration. Now he is a candidate for governor in Ohio. His opponent is Amy Acton, a doctor and researcher who worked in government. He is leading her by only 1% in the polls:

Two #goodhabits for the #newyear that are surprisingly easy to do and are already #makingadifference:
- muting (large) accounts in the #trending section that are doing various forms of clickbait, because even in the #fediverse #ragebaiting #cutevideos #AIslop (AI slop with a leftist slant still is AI slop) are rife.
- ignoring #comments from people who keep missing the point willfully or from sheer ignorance. My time is sacred. -
If you saw our recent post on here about Reece, the young boy from Australia who got the ABC to put audio description on "Behind the News", then you'll love this follow up video he made especially about NVDA. It is THE feel-good piece to watch this holiday season!

Being a cynic is so contemptibly easy. If you let yourself think that nothing you’re working on is ever going to make any difference, why bust your tail over it? Why care? If you’re a cynic, you don’t have to invest anything in your work. No effort, no pride, no compassion, no sense of excellence, nothing.

Making a positive impact
Motivation can be a complicated thing, and we can often find we lack that drive to get going. In my case, not just drivem by personal achievement but a desire to make a positive impact on others, it's why I teach. #motivation #teaching #MakingADifference #LGBTQIA #trans #bethechange

My home town, Ithaca NY, took a bold step in 2019 and set a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 - five years later, the reality of achieving this has settled in, but they're still finding ways to make it happen...
