This article deals with Melissa Martin’s quest to preserve a culture that man-made climate change has rendered near obsolete. It’s difficult to wrap one’s head around the idea the the human quest to build more has murdered a shoreline and the people who live on it. It’s wild to me that the reality of climate change is still up for debate. The system that we grew up with is faltering. We have all of this ability to connect but not to relate, to come together, to overcome. I’m reminded of Dooky Chase’s famed restaurant as the organizing grounds of a good portion of the Civil Rights movement. This memory warms me. Care still has a place in our off kilter world.
