Cannot recommend highly enough: “David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet”. Imagine “Planet Earth” imagery that explains climate change AND leaves you filled with inspiration, not dread.

I got stuck on the highway(wasn’t paying attention and ran out of gas).. This white man..tattoos all over, pulled up behind me, asked what’s wrong, then came back 10 mins later with gas and said “I didn’t want the cops pulling up to “help u” and fucking with you.”

We got white people pissed off about wearing masks, egg mcmuffins and maple syrup. Meanwhile, in the past two weeks, six black men were found hanged in a tree, in a public space, yet the “authorities” claim all six as suicides...
