Anxiety can be debilitating. Controlling it starts with this simple step, @TheMarthaBeck says ~ cnn.com/2025/02/15/hea… via @CNN @JessicaDuLong

"We live in a society that assumes anxiety helps solve problems. Actually, good solutions never come from anxiety or panic. They come from curiosity, calm and creativity." — @TheMarthaBeck, in my latest for @CNN <<GO MAKE SOMETHING!>> cnn.com/2025/02/15/hea…

"Cynics support strong man leaders who promise to protect citizens from each other even if it means giving up some of their freedom. Cynicism is not a radical world view... and propagandists sow distrust to better control people." —@zakijam youtube.com/watch?v=6DTbRr…

People are "more trustworthy, friendlier, more open-minded and more generous than we predict."—@zakijam

Cynics aren't smarter, more socially savvy, or more moral. And it turns out people are "more trustworthy, friendlier, more open-minded ,and more generous than we predict."—@zakijam Here's why to choose HOPE... cnn.com/2024/11/09/hea…

So much good #prepper information in @AthenaAktipis's book #AFieldGuideToTheApocalypse. cnn.com/2024/09/11/hea…

As temperatures stay warmer for longer periods of time and the first frost happens later and later, plants like ragweed have more time to grow and release allergens, said @kmendezdc of @AAFANational. #achoo nytimes.com/article/fall-a…

“Allergy seasons have almost doubled in length and gotten more intense because of #climatechange." Higher CO2 emissions spur plants to release larger amounts of pollen—@kmendezdc of @AAFANational Yet another reason for #climateanxiety cnn.com/2022/08/12/hea… @CNN @BonnieWeather

Instead of panicking about what @UrbanClimateLab's Brian Stone said in the @washingtonpost, read my interview w/@AthenaAktipis for @CNN for tips on how to prep for the next apocalypse (& having fun while you're at it): cnn.com/2024/09/11/hea…

Let today be a reminder that our willingness to help other in need is in our nature, and that the most important ability we possess for dealing with crises is cooperation. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/09/11…

@the_transit_guy @AgentSaffron Totally wild. Desperate times....

@E_iversonii @the_transit_guy True. Like the soldiers on the sands of Dunkirk, civilians in Lower Manhattan ran until they ran out of land. Meanwhile mariners raced to meet them all along the shoreline. cnn.com/2017/08/20/opi…

@the_transit_guy Is that true? Larger than dunkirk etc. ?

@WetWorker666 @the_transit_guy Unlike the mariners at Dunkirk, those delivering people from Manhattan weren’t subjected to enemy fire. But they did have to fear the prospect of more attacks as rumors about bombings and unaccounted-for planes continued to fly. cnn.com/2017/08/20/opi…

@the_transit_guy Operation Dynamo from 27 May – 4 June 1940 evacuated 338,226 and Operation Aerial rescued 192,000 Allied personnel from 15 to 25 June. Under fire.

@Michael75049050 @the_transit_guy James Kendra & Tricia Wachtendorf combined Manhattan daytime pop. est. from a 2012 NYU Wagner School report w/an analysis of WTC evacuees by Rae Zimmerman & Martin F. Sherman to conclude that approximately 415,000 ppl traveled by boat that morning.—SAVED AT THE SEAWALL

@the_transit_guy I may be mistaken, but I thought it was over 600,000 people. Whatever the number, thank you for posting this and I agree: True heroes.

@the_transit_guy @AgentSaffron One tug captain I interviewed told me he took some people as close as he could get to the airport. They were desperate to get out of NYC. Unfortunately, of course, all flights were grounded.

Thanks to @MaritimeCollege for choosing SAVED AT THE SEAWALL as your Common Read, and for the opportunity to speak to students about the #boatlift.

If you're having trouble with the upsetting images you're seeing today from #September11 archives, it helps to admit/acknowledge it. See here for practical tips on how to process it all more safely twitter.com/JessicaDuLong/…

I owe it to the maritime community, who stepped up to selflessly help others despite dangers to themselves. I haven’t yet figured out how to NOT spend this day telling the story of the #boatlift to anyone who will listen. @vermontgmg nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Every September 11, I want to hide out until another anniversary has passed. But the responsibility I feel to preserve and share this history wins out every time.
