"Find your political home" remains, for me at least, the single best guiding star in times of crisis and chaos. Individuals can doomscroll and post and have big feelings; groups can take meaningful action. Maybe it's an activist org, union, student group, career, collective/crew, etc (1/3)

Listening to politicians sanctimoniously assuring us that God is on our side as we bomb other countries always reminds me of Mark Twain's great piece: "The War Prayer" Every prayer for victory on the battlefield is also asking God to smite our enemies www.americanyawp.com/reader/19-am...

Who on earth is still buying this? Why do they bother?

There's genuinely a large vacuum in giving people actionable steps on how to do SOMETHING right now in a socially engaged way but news won't do it because that's "activism", unlike putting the thumb on the scale of elections.

This is incredibly funny but, also, I hope everyone who is pro AI or a teacher that allows AI can see clear as day that the ultimate goal is to put the thumb on the scale of all of this shit. That's why they're forcing it on us. It's a joke.

I like this selection. From the essay on aunthood and the pandemic-era Auntie Sewing Squad in my new anthology.

Because we have a wildly racist political class who have indicated this type of debate is in limits so congratulations to everyone who’s played a part in that

The guy literally said Israel has the right to inflict collective punishment on 2.1 million civilians in Gaza by turning off the supply of water and electricity. Then sent cabinet ministers on morning TV to say the same. If he believes in anything it is deference to power.

turns out the answer on how to decarbonize flying is actually: 1. flying *significantly* less, if at all 2. trains

Make it 80. Eighty. Israel has killed 80 Palestinians in the last 24 hours at aid centres, as it lose patience in starving them to death. Can you imagine how history is going to judge us for allowing this horror, livestreamed, day after day? www.middleeasteye.net/news/least-8...

As climate solutions reporter I find many 'solutions' don't scale- or reduce pollution at all. Which is why after months of reporting I want to tell you about Vienna. Vienna has found a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change, all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in. 🎧⬇️

The thing is that our students all KNOW this stuff is making them stupider—& many of them resent it. But every signal in their lives, including the entire media apparatus *& their own university leadership*, is telling them nothing matters, why not use it, if you don’t, you’re getting ‘left behind’

Addressing climate & ecological breakdown is ultimately a social problem not a technical one Which means that, for most of us, understanding the psychology of collective climate action is more important than understanding climate science Free download www.wandel-werk.org/en/materialien
