If you’re part of the population that reads the New York Times, goes on Twitter, or even watches Fox News, you’ve no doubt seen that gas stoves are having (or not having) their moment. I’ll say this, it was not on my 2023 bingo card. Ever since 2021, when I read this Mother Jones piece on fossil fuel companies …
Last year, I used the final climate culture of the year to take a look at “brutal” by Olivia Rodrigo. She sang, and I affirmed, that yes, “it’s brutal out here.” In 2022, it still is. But things have also changed since then. When I think back on this year, I am reminded of unthinkable tragedies, like …
Last Sunday, was perhaps the biggest game ever in what is undoubtedly the biggest show in sports, the World Cup. More people watch the soccer/football World Cup than well, pretty much anything. This go-round, an estimated 4 billion people tuned in. In a world of different languages, religions, and politics, that’s something remarkable. Not being …
I can’t count the number of times that I’ve heard, read, or thought to myself — “The problem with climate change is that you just can’t see it.” Undoubtedly, the ability to turn a blind eye to the climate crisis is an aspect of my privilege. Unfortunately, this privilege is shared by many of the most …
Knock Down the House is one of my favorite films about electoral politics, well… ever. I think the only movie that can top it might be Recount, a film about the 2000 election in Florida. Being the nerd that I was, 8 year-old Lucy proclaimed that this was the best movie ever (forget Disney princesses when you can …
This week, much to my surprise, I’m not coming to you with new music or a book or anything of the kind. I’m coming to you with real news! Last week, the FDA approved a cultured meat product in the United States. It was on my mind this week as I (and much of America) cooked up …
For those who don’t know, for the past several months, I have been working on a political campaign. In other words, my life was not my own, the hours were crazy, and I simply could not keep up with Climate Culture. I’m happy to get back to you now with the biggest drops since we …
Sometimes (rarely, but sometimes) Twitter makes my day. After a long day the other night, I was doing some doomscrolling, and in between the horrors of Hurricane Ian, I came across a “Chevron” ad. Why the quotes? Well, it was posted by Adam McKay, director of Don’t Look Up, the most famous climate satire of all time …
The biggest climate culture news this week was from my least written about sector of culture… fashion. Now, those of you who know me probably know the reason for this. Fashion isn’t really my thing haha. However, from a young age, I was taught to appreciate just one “fashion house” — Patagucci. While often out of …
Life’s been busy — apologies for the hiatus! I know you must have all been lost without my weekly recommendations (I kid, I kid). The break did give me time, however, to finish a new show. It’s even explicitly about climate and has the Leah Stokes (nationally renowned energy policy expert) seal of approval. Perhaps most …
