🛠 Site gremlins! All last week, TKSST experienced significant strains on our servers, leading to error messages for some visitors. Apologies! TKSST’s 5-year-old programming is overdue for an upgrade that’s being built in our spare time. 😅 To ensure a reliable experience, we postponed sending this until we could identify and test the potential causes. In a way, this newsletter is also a test. 🤞 If all goes well, the next newsletter will be sent out on schedule this week.

Thank you so much for your patience and support—including the support of this week’s new TKSST Members!

💬 How to Talk to Anxious Children About Climate Change, via Inside Climate News: “For years, educators and parents often avoided the subject. But that is starting to change, as therapists urge parents to listen to their kids and help them understand that their fears are normal.”
