As a white person, I found the whole conversation around "climateers" fascinating and want to dig in more. It's absolutely true that white colonizers got to "live large" and destroy the Earth for hundreds and hundreds of years, and now are like, "whoops, Earth is dying" right at the time when Black people and other minorities and disenfranchised groups -- who often need things like cars to get around in transit desserts, etc. -- have access to the very luxuries that pollute.

Also, I found it fascinating that we see Terry's reveal, that she told Simon to leave Bella and then told him to lie. Wow.
