A few words from @theguessworker on Earth Day 2019 and the overwhelming experience realizing you won't able to save what you love most. #ClimateChangeIsReal

long thread ahead 👇👇👇 sorry folks, America's closed. moose out front shoulda told ya I get paid biweekly and the shutdown *shouldn't* impact my next paycheck, except that it won't include pay for today. Not knowing when I'll get paid after that makes life extremely difficult. 💸
