Heatwaves sweeping across the world affect everyone, but they hit marginalised groups harder.
@celianandezz explains what urban planning and housing policies by European cities can help the most vulnerable adapt to rising temperatures ⬇️

Heat, green gentrification, the rich fleeing climate disasters & the middle class left to face the costs, and ultimately what @aldatweets refers to as “eco-apartheid”: where the rich cool off in pools while the poor suffer in the ever-increasing heat 👉https://t.co/yah7gimm8P

Para encontrar el terror, no hace falta adentrarse en paisajes escondidos. Es lo que cree @mariafernandamp, autora que puebla su literatura de monstruos muy reales.

En otoño, charlé con @AndreaChapela, a quien @GrantaMag nombró en 2021 como una de las mejores narradoras jóvenes. No estudió literatura, si no química, y en "Ansibles" escribe su diagnóstico: "La tecnología va mucho más rápida que la emocionalidad humana"

"The petrochemical ind. is bucking the global recession and building new plastic plants, such as a giant new Shell plant in Pennsylvania. Today, the FF industry relies on profits from plastic to offset expected losses from a transition to renewables"

Dos presencias antagónicas se cuelan sin invitación en dos conferencias del escritor sobre el futuro, en dos sesiones de psicoterapia y en una llamada inesperada. Son el optimismo y la desesperanza. Y libran una lucha de titanes. ¿Quién ganará? https://t.co/Aa6RlcOzTU
"When the Qatari government decided to spend millions of pounds on an opening ceremony featuring Morgan Freeman + hundreds of performers, it probably hoped it would be the moment when the global media finally focused on football rather than human rights".

Es el club de "las “lokes, lunátikes, majaras, chalades y atolondrades”. No es ni una terapia psicológica ni una sucesión de talleres artísticos. Es el orgullo de estar loco y entender el sufrimiento psíquico como síntoma del sistema.

<<La “manosfera invisible”: los grupos de WhatsApp exclusivamente masculinos. Espacios “seguros”, “de confianza”, donde los hombres decían no sentirse “juzgados” y admitían ponerse, en palabras de uno de ellos, más “unga unga” de lo normal ">>.

"Using an identifiable image, or something that is “beautiful and valued”, both were able to keep in the public’s mind and draw attention to, as Plummer said, “the questions that matter”."
