Word nerd @grist. Writing about climate + language, history, culture, accountability. Thinking about what's for dinner

Confused by recycling? Wondering why the symbol doesn't seem to make sense anymore? I spent half a year researching what happened. I found that corporations sold Americans on the chasing arrows — while stripping the logo of its meaning. grist.org/culture/recycl…
The English language was once full of stories with “blossoms,” “rivers,” and “moss.” But these words are disappearing from our vocabularies — and along with them, our connection to the natural world they describe. @katemyoder reports via @grist: buff.ly/7CyOPJy
President Biden's American Climate Corps was quietly disbanded -- and in some ways, the jobs program never existed to begin with, @katemyoder reports: grist.org/politics/ameri…
“I actually think it’s still a great time to start a climate startup. Just don’t call it a climate startup," @leepnet tells @katie_brigham. Climate tech is dead, long live climate tech: heatmap.news/technology/dea…
in recent years, i noticed that the concept of "climate anxiety" had become a sort of a privilege punch line, and an emotion/experience shared by millions risked going the way of self-care and wellness culture. i wanted to explore why for @grist: grist.org/culture/climat…
an instant @katemyoder classic, if you will -- a comprehensive and beautifully laid out exploration of why nuance is so hard to accept or understand in any politically-tinged conversation: grist.org/science/patric…
A year ago, climate scientist @PatrickTBrown31 criticized his own wildfire study in Nature, causing an uproar. I kept wondering why he did it. I spent the summer talking to Patrick and those who know him, reviewing private emails, to get the inside scoop grist.org/science/patric…
Why has the history of climate change knowledge in the US (which goes back further than many today might think) been overlooked? @katemyoder for @grist: bit.ly/3LWKrGI
Author Barbara Kingsolver told @Grist that the American Climate Corps is “one of the most exciting things that’s happening in the country right now.” More on the kickoff of the American Climate Corps from @katemyoder: grist.org/solutions/amer…
We've become so focused on making everything recyclable, we forget to question whether recycling everything was the best goal in the first place. And that's exactly how companies wanted it. My latest project for @grist grist.org/culture/recycl…
Does giving a hurricane a name change how we talk about it, or even prepare for it? My latest for @grist looks at the history of naming storms and how it's always been tied up with cultural biases grist.org/language/hurri…
Major climate reports often say that climate change is especially damaging to women and children. But why? Today, @grist, @voxdotcom, and @19thnews copublished a series on how climate change affects the reproductive cycle. The takeaways may surprise you. grist.org/health/expecti…
I did not know that the influencer behind the butter board trend was part of a “Dairy Dream Team” paid by an industry marketing group grist.org/food/butter-bo…
Oil execs knew natural gas was bad for the climate, but promoted it anyway. That's just one of many revelations from new documents released this week as part of a congressional investigation into Big Oil's climate deception. For @grist, w/ @katemyoder. grist.org/accountability…
At Aspen Ideas, the White House unveiled a new logo for the American Climate Corps and told @grist that a long-awaited jobs portal for the program with a couple hundred open positions will launch next month. grist.org/politics/jobs-…
New from @grist & @NaveenaSivam: You can start applying for the American Climate Corps next month grist.org/politics/jobs-…
i wrote about the threat of the environmentalist tyrant in 'the curse,' and why it makes us so uneasy: grist.org/culture/why-we…
Spoke to @katemyoder at @grist about a new report by @CCDHate analysing climate misinformation on Twitter using the CARDS model developed by @TravisCoan1, @cboussalis & @MirjamNanko. CCDH finds (as we did) that misinformation is transitioning to solutions grist.org/accountability…
Good chance there will be a ballot initiative in Washington giving voters a chance to throw out the state's seemingly quite successful cap on carbon, which critics blame for high gasoline prices: grist.org/politics/washi… via @katemyoder
new investigation: dozens of utilities offer homebuilders incentives –including cash and luxury travel – to install gas appliances trade groups are also training members to sell builders on the continued use of gas, newly revealed recordings show 🧵 theguardian.com/us-news/2023/d…
What are cities doing to try to get gas out of homes and businesses, following a court ruling striking down Berkeley's ban on gas hookups? Good rundown from @akiellyhu: grist.org/buildings/a-co…
