i was already working on this so it ended up being perfect! hope you enjoy! 🫶

-

i sigh as the goal horn sounds in dallas in the last four seconds of the game, i rest my head in my hands, waiting for the game to officially end before i click off the television. i sit back on the couch, getting comfortable with some random music playlist on the tv. it'll be early morning when timo gets back, but i'll still stay up and surprise him.

i've been in his apartment since this morning, without him knowing. i know with out he's pretty stressed that jack is out, and now dougie too? i'm glad i decided to fly out to jersey to see him.

i grab my cup of coffee off the coffee table, taking a large gulp of the now cold liquid. i smack my lips a little, the taste now strange with the new temperature. i grab my laptop, doing some work for about an hour. i yawn, rubbing my tired eyes as i continue to work.

it's a few hours later when timo finally returns home, unlocking the door and walking in quietly. his heart picks up a little when he sees me on his couch, looking back at him. "hey baby, welcome home..." i say, standing up.

his eyes are wide in surprise as i walk to him immediately, his bags dropping to the floor as he engulfs me in a tight hug, the smell of his cologne filling my nostrils. "god...i missed you so much..." he whispers, his face buryed in my hair.

i rub his back softly, feeling the tension in his body releasing as i continue my movements. "i missed you too, sweetie. how's dougie?" i ask quietly, wanting an update on his and my friend.

"he's hurting, but nobody is exactly sure what happened yet." he sighs, "same with jack. god babe, we're kinda screwed..." he pulls back to look at me, his expression full of unease and sadness. i can almost swear there's also a twinge of anger in there somewhere with the his brows furrow.

i rub his arm, just under his elbow. "i'm sure he'll be okay. it's jack, he'll come back no matter what or when." i smile softly, full of reassurance. i yawn, rubbing softly at my tired and puffy eyes. "i don't know how hard it is for you guys, especially luke, but i know things will get better, you guys are tough."

timo smiles softly, "yeah, we'll manage. with jonas, jack, and now dougie out though, it's gonna be tough." he sighs, pressing two fingers to his head, rubbing it. "i have a headache..."

i frown, walking to the kitchen and grabbing some medicine and water for him, "take this and then we can go to bed." he takes the medicine from my hand, popping it in his mouth and drinking the water to get it down.

i smile softly at him, grabbing his hand and pulling him to our bedroom. he takes off his clothes, the casual suit not suitable to sleep in. i'm already in my pajamas, another yawn escaping my lips as i get into the bed.

he slips in the comfy bed a few minutes later, instantly pulling me close to him. "how long have you been here?" he asks, his voice low.

"since this morning. i wanted to surprise you..." i smile, rubbing his cheek softly with my knuckles. "i hope you're not mad i've been here all day without you knowing."

"i could never be mad, especially for something like that. now my whole apartment probably smells like you, it'll make me miss you more when you leave." he frowns, "wait, i have an idea! you never leave!"

i laugh at his idea, pulling him closer to me. "i wish i could, my love...i'd have to quit my job and leave everything behind if i never leave."

"then you can go back, quit your job, pack your things and come right back! i can provide for both of us, i promise." he says, his eyes pleading.

i sigh, my heart breaking a little. "timo, you know it's not that easy..."

"i know, but i wish it was. i'm gonna miss you when you leave..." he says, pulling me into his chest, leaning down and breathing in my scent. "how long are you staying anyway?"

"let's not think about me leaving right now, i still have three weeks with my favorite man in the whole wide world." i smile softly, clinging to him.

i feel his chest rumble as he chuckles, his hand rubbing my back softly. i break the silence, "timo?" he hums, wondering what i want. "are you okay? i know this is a hard time for you, but i'm worried about you..."

he frowns at my words, "i'm okay, definitely could be better. jack and dougie are really good friends of mine, it hurts me to see them hurt. siegs too." he says, his voice laced with a bit of sadness. "but now you're here and i already feel a little better."

i giggle, "i saw your post game interview, it made me tear up a bit to see you so upset. i hate seeing you like that, it's just not you..."

"i know, i hate it. i hate feeling like this. i'm not the one who got hurt, but sometimes it feels like it. those guys are my family, i love them." his words are soft, laced with a twinge of loneliness and disbelief.

"i hate that you feel like that, the other guys too. i can't even imagine how luke feels right now, both of his brothers hurt? and the hughesbowl coming up too? gosh..." i whisper, shaking my head.

"the fans are calling it the lukebowl now." he says, laughing a little. i laugh along with him, the new nickname funny and sad at the same time. he yawns, covering his mouth as his eyes squeeze shut.

"you have a free day tomorrow, don't set your alarm. we're gonna sleep so much..." i smile, loving the idea of getting so much sleep, especially in his arms. "just rest."

he hums, pulling the blanket over us better and closing his eyes. my hand rubs his back, soothing his tense body. a few minutes later, his breathing changes, the pace slower and deeper. he's asleep now, soft snores leaving his mouth.

i smile, pressing a gentle kiss to his shoulder, whispering a soft, "i love you..." only for my eyes to close soon after, both of our bodies intertwined as we sleep.

Climate litigation in the US could be entering a “game changing” new phase, experts believe, with a spate of lawsuits around the country set to advance after a recent supreme court decision, and with legal teams preparing for a trailblazing trial in a youth-led court case beginning next week.

The first constitutional climate lawsuit in the US goes to trial on Monday next week (12 June) in Helena, Montana, based on a legal challenge by 16 young plaintiffs, ranging in age from five to 22, against the state’s pro-fossil fuel policies.

A federal judge ruled last week that a federal constitutional climate lawsuit, also brought by youth, can go to trial.

More than two dozen US cities and states are suing big oil alleging the fossil fuel industry knew for decades about the dangers of burning coal, oil and gas, and actively hid that information from consumers and investors.

The supreme court cleared the way for these cases to advance with rulings in April and May that denied oil companies’ bids to move the venue of such lawsuits from state courts to federal courts.

Hoboken, New Jersey, last month added racketeering charges against oil majors to its 2020 climate lawsuit, becoming the first case to employ the approach in a state court and following a federal lawsuit filed by Puerto Rico last November.

the new forms of climate litigation are different, as they grapple not with particular projects’ emissions, but on responsibility for the climate crisis itself. Sokol, who dubbed these new suits “climate accountability litigation”, says though they will not alone lower emissions, they could help reshape climate plans.

In the US, this litigation has taken a variety of forms; perhaps the best known cases are based on constitutional rights and brought by youth.

One of those cases, Held v Montana, is based on the state’s constitutional guarantees to a clean and healthy environment, which were enshrined in the 1970s and which the plaintiffs say the state has violated by supporting fossil fuels. It will next week become the first-ever constitutional climate lawsuit to go to trial in the US.

Held v Montana followed the highly publicized 2015 Juliana v United States in which 21 young people from Oregon sued the US government for violating their constitutional rights to life, liberty and property by enacting policies that drove and exacerbated the climate crisis. The case, which like the Montana suit was filed by the non-profit law firm Our Children’s Trust, calls on federal officials to phase out fossil fuels.

Last week, a US district court ruled in favor of the youth plaintiffs, allowing that their claims can be decided at trial in open court.

Litigation based on state constitutional rights, also filed by Our Children’s Trust, is currently pending in four other states. One of those cases brought by Hawaii youth is set to go to trial, possibly as soon as this fall.

Another set of lawsuits in the US allege that the fossil fuel industry has for decades known about the dangers of burning coal, oil and gas, and actively hid that information from consumers and investors. Since 2017, seven states, 35 municipalities, the District of Columbia, and one industry trade association have sued major fossil fuel corporations and lobbying groups on these grounds.

In late April, lawyers for the city of Hoboken amended a 2020 complaint to allege that the defendants violated New Jersey’s racketeering laws by conspiring to sow doubt about climate change.

It marked the first-ever state-level lawsuit of its kind, following one last year in which 16 Puerto Rico cities brought federal racketeering charges, originally used to bring down criminal enterprises like the mafia, against big oil.

Unlike some previous cases, Hoboken’s amended lawsuit focuses not only on past misinformation, but also on contemporary greenwashing – something that could feature prominently in future cases.

A study last month examined litigation against fossil fuel majors and found that the filing of a new case or a court decision against a corporation took a slight toll on their finances. Novel developments – including a groundbreaking 2021 Netherlands court ruling ordering Shell to substantially slash its carbon emissions, and an unprecedented transnational claim filed in 2012 by a Peruvian farmer against a German energy company – yielded bigger blows.

Sankar, of Earthjustice, said he expects to see new forms of climate litigation in future years. “As the impact on states and localities increases, they are increasingly going to be looking for ways in which their state and local laws protect them,” he said.

Hoboken, NJ, 2024. Palisade.

The dictionary defines a palisade as a fence of stakes used especially for defense; as a line of bold cliffs; as a wall. The Palisades of Hudson County, New Jersey, are basalt outcroppings formed 200 million years ago when shifting tectonics pushed molten material up to the surface. Today, these cliffs line the western edge of the lower Hudson River, mirrored in the glass and steel of the skyscrapers rising to the east.   The remnants of the American Dream can be found on the street corners and in the storefronts of the working-class, immigrant communities of Jersey City, Union City and North Bergen that crowd together atop the Palisades and spill into the Meadowlands beyond. It’s a vibrant, dense and complex urban setting that’s forever in flux, aspiring for more. The latest disruption comes via a wealthier wave of migrants fleeing New York City in search of real estate.   My photographs document the places and people living on a wall that often divides and defines them. I don’t hope to explain this world with words; as the late John Berger wrote about photography: “The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled.” In Palisade, I’m interested in exploring this relationship — to understand how photographs can describe facts that words fail to explain, and connect the natural to the man-made, the fleeting to the eternal, and the foreign to the familiar.
