@Greta Thunberg:
School strike week 251. Today, I graduate from school, which means I'll no longer be able to school strike for the climate. This is then the last school strike for me, so I guess I have to write something on this day.Thread🧵 pic.twitter.com/KX8hHFDyNG

    Climate change is one of those things that just makes me existentially depressed every time I think about it for a few minutes. And it’s easy to not think about it.

    I’ve always appreciated Greta and her drive to make things better, to inform people, and the courage to talk to world leaders as an 18 year old kid and tell them the truth straight to their faces.

    It really sucks how much hate she’s getting, even from people I know irl. Disgraceful.

    The amount of ridicule and anger directed her way has always astounded me. I'm impressed by her will, resolve, and most of all her messaging - and I believe it is these things with the compounded factor of her being a young woman that have driven many to revile her.

    I sincerely hope she continues being an activist and engaging children and adults alike to understand that climate change is a reality, and that action must be taken. I don't have much else to add, except to wish her the best of luck in the future.

      Same! She is super inspiring! It's similar to the hate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gets for being a woman who isn't shy about voicing her opinions.

        A lot of people just hate young girls for some reason. I'm reminded of the Twilight craze back in the day, and how so many people disparaged the very notion that girls would enjoy a few dumb (albeit weird) movies.

        I assume most people who "hate" her are responding to the propaganda about her that's constantly spewed out on right wing media. Most people would agree with 90% of what she says if they thought...

    She's now a household name around the world. Im very curious to see where her activism takes her as an adult.
