@silence7 reminds me of the final speech in the film I just saw: How To Blow Up a Pipeline.
Kudos to the filmmakers for messaging throughout the film that these activists are not terrorists and are trying to *stop* the massive harm of fossil extraction. The main characters live near refineries, frack sites, and pipelines that are killing people. Lifts the reality that our most marginalized kin are the ones living with the most (human-made) toxic environments.
@will_a113 @AEMarling I finally started reading Missing Mermaid today. Grabbed me right away, AE. (btw, my solarpunk, cli-fi book The Working is also on smashwords... and elsewhere)
