Having joined Twitter 14 years ago, my time here has come to an end. I’ve been massively scaling back from posting here, except for course-related tweets. These will stop the end of November.
I am connecting on Mastadon and LinkedIn now.

Israel is using hunger as weapon, blocking Gaza aid:
-UN Chief
-Oxfam
-EU top diplomat
-International Rescue Committee
-UNICEF
-UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
-Norwegian Refugee Council
-Human Rights Watch
-Amnesty
-UN Special Rapporteur on right to food

Dystopic, genocidal barbarism. What else is there to say.

[Nour Odeh 🇵🇸🍉 #FreePalestine @nour_odeh]

My soul aches every time I share these horrific genocidal pronouncements. But we must keep sharing. The world needs to know how normalized this hateful murderous sentiment is in Israel. The world needs to stop this.

#Food is the most powerful action in the hands of every household on the planet. And in particular, all those above the 50th percentile (and certainly the top 10%), who both waste food, and eat too much meat! #sustainability #transformation

⏳Just 2 months to #COP28, a clash of realities looms: #Fossilfuels, responsible for 75% of GHG #emissions, take center stage. Will the battleground words be 'phase down' or 'phase out'?
The reality? Rapid transition to #renewableenergy is the only credible path #Endfossilfuels
