Predicted low of -14° Wednesday night, so an almost 30-degree swing in less than 24 hours. Totally fine and normal….
Anyone else’s kids feeling anxiety around the climate? My daughter brings it up when there are unseasonable spells of warm weather like this.

Same here, @Mark. My child cried a couple of nights ago thinking about how she might not be able to skate outside in a few more winters.

On the other side of the coin, I’m occasionally relieved not to have put any kids into the position of coping with climate change and all its consequences.

Some of us that work/used to work in mental health and suicide prevention, had extra training in Eco-Anxiety , which is totally a thing and hard to help with, because mental health is caused either my inner or outer factors ( duh ) and one of the approaches for dealing with outer factors is to mitigate or help remove the stress factor…and climate change isn’t going anywhere and can’t be thought out of ( Like homelessness or abuse or any other thing where you ask “can you imagine or visualize a situation where the problem isn’t there, how would you feel?”can’t do that for climate change…. ( and couple of other things to… but Climate change is really the only one that “get me off this planet”isn’t an option )

My kids are more concerned about equity, knowing the intersectionality around class, race, nationalism, capitalism, and climate. They’re teenagers, though.
I see kids getting super into climate as a great introduction to the big picture. For my generation it was a fear of nuclear war. Whatever lets you see the cracks in the structure and start hammering away, finding like-minded folks and seeing the commonalities in your struggle.

Remember when we stopped capitalisming full-bore at the beginning of the (ongoing) pandemic and nature visibly started healing almost immediately? I wonder what kind of impact that brief exposure to another possible world had on children.

I miss the brazen Mile End porch turkeys.

Turkeys are in the news Wednesday. A man was caught on video in Louiseville being chased by a wild turkey that had been lurking near his house.

In warmer weather I see big gangs of them when I’m driving to work in Sainte Anne, around the Morgan exit from the 40. I wonder where they go in the winter.
