Jeremy Taylor, Anglican minister, considers works of mercy. In addition to feeding, redeeming, burying the dead, he adds bringing the cold 2 the fire, mending bridges

Just generally be a helpful supporter of the community and ease burdens of all. And this is in a book on *holy living*. Have you heard sermons on holy living from people that never stressed any of the above?

How can you do the least comfortable item on this list?

Week 206 of fasting on Fridays for the #ClimateCrisis. Week 206 of striking from working and shopping on Fridays for the #ClimateEmergency. The more obvious it becomes that lives are being affected by wildfires, floods, and famine, the more the fossil fuel industry will likely extract to increase profits before their industry collapses. Profit panic that magnifies the burning of fossil fuels exacerbates short and long-term harm. The more disasters we see, the more vigilant we need to be about demanding an end to this industry.

Week 205 of fasting on Fridays for the #ClimateCrisis. Week 205 of striking from working and shopping on Fridays for the #ClimateEmergency. What we’re seeing is just the beginning. If fossil fuel burning doesn’t end, these brutal, harsh, life-threatening climate events will only escalate. It’s going to take a lot more people speaking up and taking action to improve the future. The more quickly and in solidarity we act, the better the outcome.

Week 201 of fasting on Fridays for the #ClimateCrisis. Week 201 of striking from working and shopping on Fridays for the #ClimateEmergency. Global heating is breaking records across the globe. If you're looking for a higher purpose, plus a way to cope with these unprecedented changes, climate activism has brought me both. We need a lot more climate activists. Everyone is welcome and everybody is needed!

"The prognosis for the survival of a large proportion of extant species is not good. Our review lays out arguments clearly demonstrating that there is a biodiversity crisis, quite probably the start of the Sixth Mass Extinction. Dedicated conservation biologists and conservation agencies are doing what they can, focused mainly on threatened birds and mammals, among which some species may be saved from the extinction that would otherwise ensue. But we are pessimistic about the fate of most of the Earth's biodiversity, much of which is going to vanish without us ever knowing of its existence."

A study about the Sixth Mass Extinction from 2022 but still as accurate, alerting and pressing as ever. Which is why I wanted to boost it here.

I feel like it's one of the parts about climate change and human folly that is often disregarded for no apparent reason.

#ClimateCrisis will lead to many deaths and conflicts, especially (and mostly unjustified) in the global south, the ones suffering from the global north's colonialist bullshittery.

But, many don't seem to have in mind that if, for example, bees are gone, flowers won't get pollinated. Ask the Chinese people about it.

Earth's biosphere is intertwined in a very complex manner and us humans are just a small part of it, even if we may believe otherwise.

At the rate, species are currently vanishing, I find it highly alerting that it's being ignored by most media, except for those deeply involved with #climatechange and #nature
