This is going to annoy some people but here goes: I was accepted to give a workshop at the @AspenInstitute's annual conference in which the theme is "metrics from the ground up" but then found out I was still expected to pay full price to travel and attend the conference.
The workshop I planned to host with my co-creator was about how entrepreneurs in the global south whose countries have been impacted by the global north's waste can take control of and own supply chains to monetize recycling, also inspired by @ORFoundation_OR
It would have been great. Maybe we'll still find a way to present it and get it to the people who can actually make use of it. My point is, wealth and power redistribution is the only way forward, friends. #gatekeepers are still going to gatekeep.
Ran into a man who harassed me while meeting a new potential investor, & I had a panic attack. Luckily SHE was very understanding and supportive. People need to understand the courage it takes for women to fundraise, and why it's so important that there are more #womenled funds.

Sustainably loving yourself means creating a circular relationship with the Earth, community, and self. Fostering passion to make the world a better place while unlearning perfectionist values.

I've done 5 captchas today while trying to speak to a support team at @Shopify, a service we pay a lot for. It bothers me that I'm doing more free work for billionaires who are developing ai that is going to put more people out of work.
Welcome! This is pretty much just a fan girl account for @AjaSaysHello and @JoLuehmann.

The first two tweets I saw this morning, juxtaposed: What I want to see, vs. What @Twitter capitalists think I want to see. @AnandWrites says it all.

We're now 2 yrs into the decisive decade. Emissions should be in an unprecedented fall, instead we're seeing the 2nd biggest rise ever recorded. We're wasting invaluable time pretending we can solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis. World leaders are still in denial.
Completely agree with you, and not that it’s worth arguing with them - but I’ve calculated how much carbon my business reduces vs the flights I have to take, I’m sure you could demonstrate the same with the work you do!
Does anyone else get triggered by the words "#radicaltransparency?" asking for a friend😅
