- Replying to @ericainthesouplemme plug one of my fav videos. ominous positivity is something i genuinely live by. i'm positive because i have no other choice. humans may have "started" this, but imagine what we could create instead? we have limitless potential and that excites me.
- Replying to @ericainthesoupLET ME PREFACE BY SAYING I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF A PROFESSIONAL. there are things i may know more about than the average person, but i mainly tweet as an advocate. i do love discussion about this tho so talk your talk but let's try not to be mean to each other :)
- Replying to @ericainthesoupyall why tf did this blow up (*๊ฆเบดโ๊ฆเบต) i was just screaming into the void!!!!!
- Replying to @ericainthesoupthis isn't toxic positivity because im privileged enough to still have a house and clean water, this is a fighting positivity because EVERYONE deserves access to a healthy, livable earth.
- Replying to @mhibivofc! it's totally valid bc climate change is intertwined in every part of our lives, so it gets pretty existential. but climate nihilism is actually way worse than climate change denialism:') it's hard to see, but there is hope. plz don't give up!
- Replying to @ericainthesoupReplying to @ericainthesoup and @asassyboithe climate crisis is so deeply intertwined with literally every social/economic issue that exists. it's precisely why it's so daunting to people. my best piece of advice is (genuinely) to find a cause you really believe in and fight for it (2/)
- Replying to @ericainthesoupalso i know i said im not a professional but i do have an environmental studies degree + work in the environmental field. i've just very much a newbie and i dont think environmental knowledge + discussion should be limited to "professionals"
- Replying to @lucianosrebalono frl like listen the work gmfu and I do want to die sometimes but genuinely, I know humans are capable of amazing things and as a creative, I am always encouraging people that there is power in simply reimagining a better future

- Replying to @ericainthesoup and @asassyboibecause at the end of the day, we are all frustrated with the way our governments are ignoring us and allowing big corporations to poison us. it is all connected. don't think of this as something that requires one single action because it will take all of us.
- Replying to @ericainthesoupbefore I mute this: this gonna be hard for some of yall to digest, but this WILL require a revolution. how long we have DEMANDS we are taking action RN. having hope is only a fraction of what we need (IT IS STILL V NECESSARY). yall need to be getting your hands dirty.
