I think this is why self-care has to be collective and collectively fought for. It cannot be individualistic or it simply will not work for the people it needs to work for most. Just for the rich who only can do it consistently bc of their exploitation of other people.

More of this please 😍

May’s very special issue of @BritishVogue is on newsstands from today.

To see disabled women in the pages of Vogue will be genuinely moving for a lot of readers. Huge congrats to @TheSineadBurke for all her work.

Ha. Thought I was the only one who felt this way ☺️😷

seriously though, i am so damn attracted to folks wearing masks in the face of a culture that thrives off our indifference to sickness and death in this never ending covid era.

So much yikes. So many incredible design opportunities to work with and around the tree and this is the best we could do?

For the construction of the Collége du Martinet, a giant Sequoia on site was felled to make way for the building

A slab of the tree was entombed in concrete in the building’s stairwell, at the location it was originally planted

Yikes…

Read the IPCC report and then read this. “What if the austerity is how we live now — and the abundance could be what is to come?” https://t.co/adWLWpimjD

Fantastic stuff. A’s for everyone in this class 🙃

[John Schwartz @jswatz]

My sustainability class just finished a module about disinformation. I had them write me a letter assuming they were flunking and arguing that they deserve an A, using the techniques of disinformation we discussed, like cherry picking, false experts and ad hominem. HOO-boy. 1/n

Chronic illness is always being hopeful that your symptoms will get better but always being sceptical that they wont. It's living with a hope that feels painful but necessary to survive.

@dan_kolodgee Bird and blend for very fun flavors. Postcard teas for single origin teas. And yogi tea if you prefer an easy teabag experience

[Sesh Vedachalam @seshvee]

This was definitely my experience. 😑

#LongCovid can happen after a 2nd/3rd infection even if you recovered fine after earlier infections. Patient groups have known this for months, since many people are joining under those circumstances.

Decarbonization, as investment layers.
1. Renewable energy: ~$400bn a year, flat

2. Energy transition (+electric transport, storage): $200+ billion, growing

3. Net zero (+heat, chemicals, materials): <$100bn, just getting started

Great thread 💯

My takeaways from @indy_johar's brilliant keynote at the #PEXForum2022 in Istanbul today. First of all, about choosing the right words when talking about the planetary crisis and avoiding platitudes ("sustainability") > "Words are codes that we whisper into the world around us."
