My first peer reviewed article was published today! I'm grateful for the chance to write about my Master's thesis and share some of my thinking about #climatechange and #narrativedissonance . Please get in touch if you're interested in chatting more. https://t.co/r8Mg5dvEf7

Climate change is the biggest health crisis humanity faces. We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground to mitigate climate-related health disasters. But COVID has shown if we don't build strong public health protections & structural supports, we leave the most vulnerable behind.

@selinmnu I see you!

This NEEDS to be SHARED everywhere.

People don't realise Daniel Radcliffe is actually doing something extraordinarily powerful in this video by refusing to engage with transphobes on their terms & using his platform to centre trans kids' stories & educate people directly

Residential schools were absolutely a tool of genocide. The intent was to use religion, abuse-tactics and torture to “remove the Indian from the child” (John A. Macdonald said that about the desired final result of residential schools). To deny this is fucked up.

Bank instability: WE’VE GOT TO BAIL THEM OUT RIGHT NOW OR RISK TOTAL COLLAPSE.

UN Climate report warning of planetary destruction: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can't undo climate delay. You can't put action off until later.

This is the rock-fucking-solid characteristic of the problem we are dealing with: a thing that accumulates. Not a ticking clock, but a flooding room, and the leak is getting bigger

More delay = more harm #IPCC

[I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky @KetanJ0]

People who make decisions about the pace of climate action and fossil fuel reliance are not behaving like they're pulling the lever on the next few thousand years of Earth. They ignore that they're the focal point of millenia of human experience.

Time is hypersensitive #IPCC

[I'm @Ketanjoshi.co on Bluesky @KetanJ0]

nothing in climate is every fully lost, nor is anything ever fully won, and anyone alive today will exist in this state for the rest of our lives.

There will never not be lives to save, natural world to protect. This diagram is in here again, so here's my markup:

governments and companies spend more money making fossil fuels cheaper than stopping climate change or adapting to a hotter and less hospitable planet 8/

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

a great thing about being alive in the year of our lord 2023 is reading a report that literally begs governments to wake up to the reality that we are at the crossroads of a catastrophic global extinction event and then just like, popping onto a Zoom like everything is normal

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

We also need to dramatically reduce the energy use and purchasing power of the rich. Right now millionaires alone are projected to burn more than 70% of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5C. None of us should tolerate this. https://t.co/XYpYr9Oadr

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

This image from today's IPCC synthesis report is brutal. The existing policy trajectory represents a profound failure of our governments, and of our international political system. We need much more aggressive mitigation and much stronger international cooperation.

[Arielle Samuelson @ariellesamuel]

Climate trauma can affect anyone. But it doesn’t impact every community equally.
Many communities that report the highest level of climate anxiety are those who are disproportionately experiencing it: Indigenous peoples, young people, and vulnerable communities around the world.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The ecological crisis is not about “consumption” in some abstract sense. It’s about who controls the system of production, how they use our resources (& labour!), and to what ends. It’s about who wins and who suffers. It’s about class. It’s about imperialism. It’s about power.

@apregens @CrwdsrcingSusty Hey! The workshop just finished up but the recording will be online soon. As far as I know community events are free, with an option to pay for your ticket to help support the organizers and speakers.

Hey you, yes you. Did you know that you can do hard wonderful joyful things out in the world while still affirming your grief? Please don’t hide parts of your intelligence. Grief is your teacher, a friend. signed, a saddy but baddie in love with possibility.

Immunocompromised, elderly, and higher risk people deserve a return to some sense of normalcy too.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Imagine having an economic system where ecologically urgent and socially necessary things (renewable energy, public transit, affordable housing) are not produced simply because rich people cannot make enough profits doing so. Irrational barely begins to describe it.
