Planet's Fucked: What Can You Do To Help? (Long Post)
Since nobody is talking about the existential threat to the climate and the environment a second Trump term/Republican government control will cause, which to me supersedes literally every other issue, I wanted to just say my two cents, and some things you can do to help. I am a conservation biologist, whose field was hit substantially by the first Trump presidency. I study wild bees, birds, and plants.
In case anyone forgot what he did last time, he gagged scientists' ability to talk about climate change, he tried zeroing budgets for agencies like the NOAA, he attempted to gut protections in the Endangered Species Act (mainly by redefining 'take' in a way that would allow corporations to destroy habitat of imperiled species with no ramifications), he tried to do the same for the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (the law that offers official protection for native non-game birds), he sought to expand oil and coal extraction from federal protected lands, he shrunk the size of multiple national preserves, HE PULLED US OUT OF THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT, and more.
We are at a crucial tipping point in being able to slow the pace of climate change, where we decide what emissions scenario we will operate at, with existential consequences for both the environment and people. We are also in the middle of the Sixth Mass Extinction, with the rate of species extinctions far surpassing background rates due completely to human actions. What we do now will determine the fate of the environment for hundreds or thousands of years - from our ability to grow key food crops (goodbye corn belt! I hated you anyway but), to the pressure on coastal communities that will face the brunt of sea level rise and intensifying extreme weather events, to desertification, ocean acidification, wildfires, melting permafrost (yay, outbreaks of deadly frozen viruses!), and a breaking down of ecosystems and ecosystem services due to continued habitat loss and species declines, especially insect declines. The fact that the environment is clearly a low priority issue despite the very real existential threat to so many people, is beyond my ability to understand. I do partly blame the public education system for offering no mandatory environmental science curriculum or any at all in most places. What it means is that it will take the support of everyone who does care to make any amount of difference in this steeply uphill battle.
There are not enough environmental scientists to solve these issues, not if public support is not on our side and the majority of the general public is either uninformed or actively hostile towards climate science (or any conservation science).
So what can you, my fellow Americans, do to help mitigate and minimize the inevitable damage that lay ahead?
I posted an illustration everyday so you don't have to – here is what I learnt.
Like many artists, social media algorithms frustrated me :((. I wanted to run the numbers & try to separate rumours from reality.
⚠️ Please don't take this too seriously! It was made largely for friends as we all try to make sense of this digital world together.
I think the crudest "wake up call" I had looking at the 📊graphs📊(from my perspective) was that there's no algorithm working against me. Just whether or not I could create something audiences engaged with. (Again – not necessarily art level, just whether it made people squeal, cry, or laugh).
My favourite platform now? Youtube. Yeah. I'm just as surprised.
✨✨And that's a wrap on Inktober 2024! ✨✨
I still find it hard to believe that I was able to do moderately finished illustrations for every single day of the challenge. Each one was quite genuinely drawn on the day... I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to do something like this again.
Would I recommend this to others? Probably not. Or maybe – at least do some prep work ahead of time 😂

🎃Day 31: Wei Wuxian's Birthday/Halloween🎃
You cannot convince me that WWX would /not/ drag his little family out trick or treating for his birthday, and make them all wear matching costumes.
And with this... ✨ that is the end of inktober 2024! ✨ I'm proud to report that I officially survived all 31 one days, and managed to do mostly full illustrations for every single day of the challenge. Honestly, even looking back at it now, that was bloody wild- I can't believe I made it!!
That being said I'm definitely going to need a break for a little bit now...

All you "I won't vote for Kamala because of Gaza" people: HEADS UP!
You've got a wannabe dictator speaking to another wannabe dictator every fucking day to PREVENT A CEASEFIRE versus a candidate calling for a ceasefire.
Vote accordingly or I swear to gods you'll wake up one day and look back wishing you could change that one little decision.
