Another beautiful car-free 13 mile commute after dropping the kiddo at school. Rain is coming tomorrow, and we really need it! (We need snow in the mountains!) If we keep burning fossil fuels in cars, our snow pack will continue to shrink.

I'm currently on ep 3 (the one with Scott Hunter and all the smoothies) and it's my favorite so far. I find the main storyline kind of boring. I hear it picks up though!

I lived in Seville for a semester and a guy grabbed me when I was walking home. Super scary. And the catcalling was absolutely out of control. Overall it felt much more hostile to women than US, or at least the PNW.

Some important details:
- many of our school buildings are around 100 years old, give or take 
- Many of them are large brick structures that heat up when it gets hot and when it stays hot, retain heat 
- very few of them have AC
- many of them donโ€™t even have windows that open 
- because of the age of our buildings, things like mini-splits or window ac units arenโ€™t an option because they overwhelm the schools ancient power grids (plus the non-opening windows make window ac units a non-starter) 
- although it will be cooler today than it has been other days this week, because the buildings donโ€™t cool down over night, they stay very hot inside, despite outside temperatures. Many of our classrooms were eighty or ninety degrees this week
- all week long, kids have been getting sick from the excessive heat in their classrooms
- PPS is an employer, and there are OSHA regs about working conditions where it is that hot, and PPS doesnโ€™t have the budget to staff the requirements that would keep them compliant
- also, kids canโ€™t learn inside a brick oven. They get sleepy, lethargic, irritable, in addition to the fact that itโ€™s simply not safe and puts them at risk for heat stroke
- despite what you remember about heat in the summer from your childhood, climate change is real and we have more, hotter weather for longer stretches than we used to have. Kids today arenโ€™t โ€œsoftโ€, nor are their parents or their teachers. The climate has changed and our buildings require modernization
- the state of Oregon has underfunded education since 1991. That means most of our schools havenโ€™t been modernized, which is why most donโ€™t have HVAC. Adding HVAC to all the schools that need it has a price tag of over 600 million dollars. Thanks to the passage of the most recent bond, PPS will be able to start chipping away at some if the deferred maintenance, but thatโ€™s not fast work and still wonโ€™t resolve this issue for every school. Please lobby your legislators to prioritize school funding (and tโ€ฆ

PPS School Board Member Rashelle Chase-Miller has a run down of the reasons that PPS decided to close school a few hours early today.

long story short, decades of chronic disinvestment in our public schools coupled with the realities that our climate has changed. so much resilience work to be done
