Currently giving a 40% chance that this thing in the Caribbean will organize into a tropical depression, but that is way too high for my liking.

Elokapina ban [Extinction Rebellion]?
The Uutissuomalainen (USU ) news group reported that Lulu Ranne, the Finns Party cabinet minister currently holding the Transport and Communications and Interior portfolios, said she considers it necessary to look into a possible ban on the Finnish environmental movement Elokapina.Ranne told USU that “quite a lot of red flags” have been raised, which is why she says a review about the disbanding of Elokapina is necessary. She pointed out that under the terms of the Associations Act a group can be dissolved if it is found to constantly break the law and disrupt public order.
“The authorities will consider whether the conditions for dissolution under the Associations Act have now been met. Of course, I am not going to dictate to the competent authorities,” said Ranne.
A citizens’ initiative calling for a ban on the Elokapina movement quickly gathered the 50,000 signatures needed for consideration by Parliament last week.
Ranne also pointed out to the Uutissuomalainen news group that it is very rare in Finland that associations have been dissolved.
“In those cases, we are talking about extremely serious forms of organised crime,” she noted.

The EU’s interest in “radicalisation” also targets climate and environmental activists. The recent Belgian Presidency document states:
“Climate activism is on the rise, together with an increased willingness to use violence, marking a shift from environmental activism to environmental extremism” (emphasis in original).
To back this up, the document refers to a report by the EU Counter-Terrorism Coordinator, which purportedly examined “the role climate change and environmental concerns play in the ideologies and narratives of violent extremists and terrorists in the EU.”

Article on understanding and emotionally getting a grasp on climate change when you are vs. aren’t in its current path of destruction.
More than 200 people have been confirmed dead. Hundreds are missing. […] The pillars of western North Carolina’s economy — tourism, art and agriculture — are shut down for the foreseeable future.

What’s happening in North Carolina doesn’t feel real. I have no emotional framework for this, no story to help me. Right now, what I desperately need are authentic stories that help us figure out how to be human in this changing world, to face this overwhelming crisis with bravery.

always!
the NOAA active radar, plus my other marine weather apps that predict wind and current, tides and waves, all have alerts and notifications set. we stay aware of our weather. whether planning a day out on the boat, fishing 5 miles offshore, or securing the property for another tropical storm, we know what is headed our way.
we have to.
