Some readers will know me because they are concerned about climate change and followed the climate work I did. If you are one of those people, you might have noticed I’ve been much less active since moving back to the UK. I've struggled to commit to climate work. I've buried my head amongst the blankets of burnt out and turned my head towards rest and joy. It feels good to prioritise these things… At least, it feels good until the guilt of being inactive crushes me. Guilt is usually followed by anger, at government and business… They are the reason we can’t have our rest and joy in peace. They are the reason we must always be fighting. Fighting for our rights, fighting for rest, fighting for care, fighting for a habitable planet. It feels as though our rest and joy come as a consequence of burnout or else at the risk of the climate and someone or something else’s loss of joy.
