I just now sent this to a colleague who wants to use some of my material in her presentations. I’m sharing it here too in case it’s helpful to you, my dear readers.
“jenny readily admits that her posts and public speeches might sound a bit scoldy sometimes. She’s not writing originally for a civilian audience, but for an audience of activist-minded people who are kept awake at night by their worries about climate and biospheric collapse, and really want to do something about it but feel helpless.
“Furthermore, she is writing mainly for an audience of her fellow white middle-class Boomers. Most of whome have amassed a certain amount of money and other resources while still feeling powerless.
“jenny wants her peers to recover their awareness of their power, so that they can use it in a more constructive direction.
“Not that she doesn’t want to help other demographics as well, but that she considers other demographics besides her fellow white Boomers (and Boomer-adjacent Silent Generation folks) to be outside of her lane to boss around.”
