Our interviewee Mary Heglar is a writer and a reader, so we asked her for the best ways to make ourselves smarter AND stay hot during the COVID lock-down.Here are some articles by her:

“My manifesto from last summer that lays down my beef with the climate conversation and how I want to change it.”

“As angry as I am about the climate crisis, that anger is, believe it or not, fueled by love, as outlined here.”

“The thing about climate grief is that you can never get to the final stage of acceptance, because that’s the kiss of death. So you cycle in and out of all the other phases. Me? I like to stay in anger.

“Nothing makes me angrier than the willful obtuseness of the crowd who thinks that climate action and climate justice can be divorced.”

And here are some articles by others:

“The seminal essay on climate anger by the one and only Amy Westervelt.”

“My Personal Hero, James Baldwin, wrote this letter to Angela Davis and it includes one of my favorite quotes to apply to the climate crisis (and general crisis) of today: ‘Well. Since we live in an age in which silence is not only criminal but suicidal, I have been making as much noise as I can.’”

“When I need a kick in the pants, when I want to give up, I revisit this piece by Ijeoma Oluo.

“My favorite Arundhati Roy piece is from 1998 and about nuclear war, but at its heart it’s about what happens when a small band of cruel fools have too much power and we all suffer for it.”
