Seeds
Listening to people talk about climate—their fear, confusion, and lived experience—may be more than storytelling. It may be a way to rebuild legitimacy where institutions have stopped listening.
It’s been a very busy week.
After a shorter stretch focused on the boat refit, I used the four-day Easter weekend to reengage the community.
On Friday, I published a post on LinkedIn summarizing the Living with a Changing Climate postcard experiment. I made a few mistakes—I didn’t think about the long weekend, and I forgot to include a visual—but the post still took off. It didn’t go stale over the weekend. After three days, it’s approaching 10,000 views.
What’s interesting is where those views came from. Mostly outside my direct network. MIT and Stanford are the most represented organizations. Boston, San Francisco, New York, Washington DC—the usual centers of influence.
I received a number of intellectually demanding comments.
