Women and young people most likely to experience climate anxiety

#Psychologists at #Leipzig University and TU Dortmund University have, for the first time, brought together international research findings on the phenomenon of #climate #anxiety. They found that certain groups are more prone to #ClimateAnxiety than others.

These include, above all, #younger people, #women, individuals with more left-leaning political views, people with deep concerns about the #future and the #environment, and those frequently exposed to the consequences of #ClimateChange and related information.

Phys.org · Women and young people most likely to experience climate anxiety, study findsBy Susann Sika

All 28 videos for my Patreon course on the #Younger #Futhark, Powering Up the #Viking #Runes, are now up on YouTube.
It's a video diary (edited for conciseness of course!) of a #magical #retirement I undertook in 2020, one day for each rune, resulting in my writing a #rune-poem. Lots of reflections on the Younger row and on the processes of magical knowledge.
It's free to my Patrons, Patreon link below. At the moment, that's the only way I'm releasing it.

I hope you're all having a great Saturday (or Sunday depending on where you are if you're awake).

I got s'more time in Cult of the Lamb today and must say, I absolutely love that game. It's so very unique.

About to finish 'Younger' on Netflix, then dive into The Sims 4 to complete the challenge(s).

Decided to pick a game to play that is untouched starting Friday, February 14th. Valentine's Day, that's right. 'Where The Water Tastes Like Wine'. Got it for free on Epic ages ago.

I've also been enjoying Terraria with my hunny.

What's everyone playing these days OR are you touching grass? Warm temps here today, but 35-40 MPH winds have arrived. Bai trash can. Was nice knowing you.

Jalel Harchaoui; Libya’s #public employment system—long a cornerstone of oil wealth distribution—is losing its centrality.

Despite absorbing 43% of total government spending, Libya’s public sector now yields diminishing social returns. #Salaries are insufficient for covering average household expenses, and job creation is increasingly inadequate to integrate #younger generations.

I'm guessing you're on the #younger side - after #GenX, anyway?

These interest rates are actually normal. The last 20+ years of artificially-low #interest rates were the actual madness, and caused an incredible amount of economic damage. Our insane #wealth #inequality is largely due to the government suppression of interest rates.

When economic times were actually tough - think late 80s / early 90s - mortgage rates were 16% or even 18%. Car loans were 22+%. I was there.
