If you're not streaming Roberta Flack while cooking dinner tonight, you are not living right. Everyone wants to play Killing Me Softly and don't get me wrong-love the song. But this is like the gentle first pattering of a warm spring rain just when you need it.💔 www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8_f...

Zack being quick to position the Green Party as the new party people have been looking for. Correct strategy and heading off some of the otherwise good progressive discussion which has fallen into the media trap of downplaying the Greens. I'm glad he caught this. It saves me bugging him about it.

I’m with @zackpolanski.bsky.social We don’t need another left party. The Green Party are the NewLeft, filling the void vacated by Starmer. Join the Greens and fight for the environment and fight against the rise of fascism.

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt. They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure. It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.

Starting my class on Climate Justice this morning with updates on what has gone wrong in just the last 24 hours. JFC it’s bad. It is mostly the young & historically-oppressed BIPOC peoples who will pay the bigger price everywhere.

Thanks for posting this @clancyny.bsky.social I have a far better understanding of what I am now learning are structural fires rather than wildfires.

Jimmy Carter, a visionary on ending fossil fuels, put solar panels on the White House. Big Oil-backed Ronald Reagan ousted Carter in 1980 and ripped them out Tonight, as Carter lies in in state in the Capitol, a climate-fueled wildfire is destroying Reagan's former hometown of Pacific Palisades

We are all we’ve got. I don’t even think of it in terms of political parties anymore. They will not save us. I think about this in terms of anti-authoritarianism, pro-humanity at this point.

We must stop referring to the grooming gangs as “Muslim” gangs. Why are journalists doing this? There is nothing to suggest religion played a part. We don’t call the vast majority of groomers “Christian groomers” or “Christian paedophiles”. Grooming gangs involving some Pakistani men is accurate.

Another book recommendation on neurodiversity. This is the book I wished I had read when I started teaching, or when I received my own diagnoses in the last couple of years. Ellie Middleton is brilliant in her approach to documenting and sharing the lived experience of ASD and ADHD.

Good to see brazen racist Robert Jenrick MP called out for what he is - & by former Tory adviser Samuel Kasumu: "I think Robert Jenrick has the potential to be the most divisive person in our political history. Some of his words may result in some people dying” #bbclaurak

We are do obsessed with the Farage and Musk theatre at the moment that we may be missing someone who is so much more divisive, so much more dangerous than the likes of Yaxley-Lennon, and right in the mainstream of politics.

I’m currently learning so much from a younger generation of brilliant minds on what it means to be neurodivergent. Let’s start here with this excellent book by Jodie Hare, on the politics of neurodiversity. novaramedia.com/2021/11/25/a...
