Read on Twitter
So writing is something that I *love* doing, and although I don't write anywhere near as much as I should, I did write a few things in 2020 that I was pretty proud of.
Here's a quick thread if you're looking for a climate read this evening:
Here's a quick thread if you're looking for a climate read this evening:
Back in January, I wrote this piece about how extreme weather events affect my island community off Ireland's West coast.
I also talked about how we need to start shoring up the defenses of vulnerable communities - in Ireland and globally. https://theocmouze.eu/ireland-must-act-climate/

After the horrific racism from AP resulted in @vanessa_vash being cut out of a picture of activists at Davos, I wrote this response on how it encapsulates the insidious underbelly of racism that surrounds us. https://theocmouze.eu/picture-thousand-wrongs/
In March, I undertook a challenge at the start of lockdown to write a piece a day. I only managed for about two weeks, but this was one of my favourites: the power of weekly striking, and how I missed it when lockdown hit. https://theocmouze.eu/power-of-weekly-climate-striking/
A question youth activists get asked a lot is "what should I do to help?". Rather than write another piece about going vegan and not flying, I wrote about how you can help enact systemic change: https://theocmouze.eu/what-you-can-do-climate-breakdown/
And this is probably the piece I'm most proud of.
I wrote about how imperative intersectionality is for solving the #ClimateCrisis for the Elders as part of their Earth Day blog with other young activists. https://www.theelders.org/news/too-young-understand-climate-action-actually-young-people-are-leading-way

And finally, after the election of @JoeBiden I felt compelled to talk about his flaws and counter the narrative that he is some kind of climate messiah
Of course, Biden is far superior to Trump. But better than the absolute worst is still not good enough https://theocmouze.eu/climate-perspective-bidens-victory/
