I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent

podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those

considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question.

So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out.

We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast.

And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at

camaya.substack.com or through a one-time

donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so

grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us.

Green Dreamer is supported by our listener patrons.

And to be really honest, I can really use your direct support during this time.

Please, of course, do take care of yourself and your loved ones first.

But if you are able to become a patron starting at just $2 per month, you can head to

greendreamer.com

slash support to learn more.

And thank you so, so much to our existing patrons.

It really helps a lot.

I think the rise of headline news, the rise of 24-hour cable news, the rise of social media

and performative activism kind of things, all might have us thinking that the world

has never been worse than it is right now.

And I just don't believe that's true.
