Making sense of the world one day at a time. Nurtures gardens and organizations.

And here we have it -- the global 2 meter temperature anomalies, through today, with 2023 in red.

What's happening right now with global temperatures leaves me speechless (but not numberless).

4.81 sigma. 1-in-1,300,000.

You go.

Tja, die TIER fiets ligt dus in de sloot. Kon je donder op zeggen, daar dat ding steeds op de rijweg, langs het water wordt gedumpt. Maar @tier_mobility wil het alleen horen als je het voertuignummer opduikt |:(

Hoe lang voor deze vervelende dingen gaat lekken?

Voor de zoveelste keer: ⁦@NLRebellion⁩ vraagt niet om politie-inzet of om arrestaties. Wij vragen aan de regering om te doen wat nodig is, in het geval van de #A12blokkade is dat #StopFossieleSubsidies. Dus agent, je hoeft inderdaad niet te komen. https://t.co/iGyx2t9jt3

An absolute pleasure to deliver a speech on women’s leadership to the International Forum of Political Foundations, organised by @EU_ENoP. Supporting women in decision-making processes is crucial.

Today, the lump I get in my throat hearing 'Leningrad' is even worse than in 1989.

It really means a lot to us to celebrate #EuropeDay as a EU member candidate, together with @EU_Commission president @vonderleyen in Kyiv. It so motivating!

It breaks my heart that neither arrest warrant, nor any other measures by our partners don’t stop russia from treating 🇺🇦 children as spoils of war. Terrorists are preparing a new wave of deportations. The only way to stop them is to liberate our territories and our children.

Plastic Bank turns 10! 🥳:

Happy Tax Day!

Today, we recognize the importance of paying our fair share towards creating a better society. It's time for action to be taken to close tax loopholes and ensure that everyone contributes their fair share towards building a better world.

🚨 BREAKING! Het #ICC heeft een arrestatiebevel uitgevaardigd voor Poetin – dit is ongezien! Nu moeten overheden zorgen dat dit bekrachtigd wordt. Laten we deze oproep voor gerechtigheid steunen. Sluit je aan #PutPutinOnTrial 👉​ https://t.co/HOhJyTJ69M

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Compassion and love are not a luxury; they are essential to our existence. Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community. We must learn to work not just for our own self, family, or nation, but for the benefit of all humankind.
