genpadalecki About last weekend… Had the privilege of getting up close and personal at the @blantonmuseum with renowned journalist @jeffgoodell Jeff and museum director @simonewicha . The exhibit, If the Sky Were Orange, is an extraordinary amalgamation of science and art on the very exigent and challenging topic of climate change. Curated by the masterful, prolific, and talented journalist Jeff Goodell, it was eye-opening having a translator of the climate change movement walk us through the doorways and halls of this creation. Equally inspiring, Simone expounding on the pieces themselves was SUCH. A. TREAT. I implore you to get your butts to the Blanton — it’s only there until Feb 11, so hustle! Oh and if you want to explore more on this hot topic, pick up Jeff’s book, The Heat Will Kill You First: Life and Death on a Scorched Planet.

They finally found a place with high enough ceilings for Jared, lol!
