Finished Parable of the Sower today. I had to remind my students that Afrofuturism grants us the freedom to uproot from now and plant seeds in our tomorrows. Saying these words even as we hear grim reminders of an unlivable minimum wage, a killer pandemic, and a new war was hard.
The amazing @vanessa_vash spoke with historian @harari_yuval about ways of addressing the #ClimateCrisis including #LossAndDamage – in a conversation moderated by CNN's chief climate correspondent @BillWeirCNN.

The short-term profits of a mining company cannot be prioritised over the culture and rights of the Sámi people, as well as our climate, biodiversity and clean air and water.

Yesterday I and three other activists from @FFF_Sweden joined local Sami activists for a manifestation in Gállok. Here, on indigenous land, a British mining company wants to build a mine. That would be a disaster for the climate and environment. 1/4

There is still a failure to recognise that the post @COP26 world is no longer about preventing future climate change impacts by staying below 1.5 Degrees but about dealing with the @LossandDamage due to the 1.1 Degrees global temperature rise already! https://t.co/I5BK4PBj4b
And the developed countries couldn't come up with a mere 100 Billion USD they had promised to tackle climate change which is a greater threat to global peace than any local or regional conflict! We are Indeed living in an upside down world!
