@jasonhickel Rings completely true with my experience too. Out of interest which non-academic movements are you involved in? How have you found balancing this with our current neoliberalised squeezed academic system?

@JKSteinberger @pfdoran It's still asking me to sign in and start a 30 day free trial (with automatic payment at the end) to download :'( Any chance you could share via a different platform? 🙏

@harry_b_smith Oooo I like the use of volumetric bars for volume! Much nicer than using a log axis

What we talk about when we talk about climate change. A short(ish) thread.
1. What is presented as climate action is actually action intended to legitimise liberalism in the face of a catastrophe for which liberalism has no answers. Here's how it's done 1/10

[Sean Irving @SeanIrving17]

@kalahar1 Great thread, thanks for putting together! The language of “new vocabulary” in the last tweet reminds me of this…

[Sean Irving @SeanIrving17]

@RishiSunak @Telegraph Car ownership is not the same thing as freedom. I want freedom not to be affected by air pollution, freedom to allow my future children to play on the streets without being mowed down, freedom to travel around the country without contributing to climate breakdown.

@XRebellionUK Today I extended the time range and 2022 has a similar effect around Earth Day (but not previous years?). Any ideas what changed in 2022?

[Sean Irving @SeanIrving17]

Inspired by this peice by the wonderful Douglas Rogers, I explored some Google trends in the UK. Interesting to note the BIG spike coincides with Earth Day and @XRebellionUK's Big One https://t.co/ps8twnlBDB

The Ffos y Fran mine recently disrupted by #ExtinctionRebellion in protest at the illegal extraction of coal, has been told all operations must cease!

This is people power.

1/ This is the UK's Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero.

He's bullshitting you.

Let's debunk his nonsense line by line...🧵

Update on USS investments: £139m in Fossil Fuels in top 100 holdings; 5 big shale companies; 3 big fracking companies; 50 of top 190 companies in the" Climate Wreckers" index @Market_Forces, and 5 of top 10 big lenders to FF companies. This has to stop! Spread the word.

[Dr. Aaron Thierry @ThierryAaron]

The home secretary is confused, can you point out for her which of the following images is not 'serious disruption' ?

#EndFossilFuels

@xriskology Yes would love to read; can’t promise on timeline or any feedback

[Sean Irving @SeanIrving17]

@schipper_lisa @NiranjanAjit How is “climate” adaptation different to the kinds of poverty reductions and resilience building that sh/would happen anyway? What is gained and lost from the climate specific framing.

[Sean Irving @SeanIrving17]

@lamb_wf Is there a standard definition or set of example of what “special interest groups” include? Are we talking fossil fuel lobby/economic think tanks? Have you some example groups?

[Nickhil | ನಿಖಿಲ್ 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈(He/Him) @SharmaNickhil]

So excited that my first ever journal article co-authored with my brilliant PhD supervisors @tom_hargreaves1 and @HelenPallett is published in @BuildingsCities! 'Social justice implications of smart urabn technologies' https://t.co/moRaFcg1ET🧵[1/12]

@JamesOzden First they ignore you, then they ridicule you… perhaps progress?

@steviedubyu @icep2023 @CAST_Centre Must be taking nearly the same route as me just a few days out of sync - travelling Norwich -> Trondheim overland at the moment and one of my trains today or yesterday was to Aarhus! Safe travels Steve :)
