Imagine: a Palantir company town where everyone’s on gene therapy + ketamine and lives to 200, where each cul-de-sac gets its own nuclear plant and data center, where nobody’s a citizen + everybody’s a customer, where the owners are unregulated but everyone else is governed by Lumon-esque policy!

The trial of an oil company SLAPP suit to literally destroy Greenpeace begins today in N. Dakota. Make no mistake this is the iron fist of petrofascism trying to crush our movements to defend water, climate & Native rights. We must all fight back. Action Link in post below. #ClimateSky

New project launches today looking at class, the arts and the leadership of some of our biggest institutions. Our analysis shows: Nearly a third (30%) of artistic directors and other creative leaders were educated privately compared with a UK average of 7%. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Turkey said it would become a ‘zero waste’ nation. Instead, it became a dumping ground for Europe’s rubbish www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe...

Offsets are mostly a scam, and nobody should be talking about them as an alternative to emissions reductions. High quality offsets with verification are very expensive, but that's not what most people are buying. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

"Oil and gas companies are the most active acquirers of climate tech startups. According to research by Sightline Climate, Shell made the most acquisitions globally between 2020 and 2024, buying up 8 companies. That was followed by BP, which snapped up 7" sifted.eu/articles/cli...

What's the polite version of "Did you read the paper?!" in response to a reviewer's multiple comments? Asking for a friend. That friend is me. Yes, I acknowledge that sometimes the issue is the quality of our own writing as authors and we are in a peer review crisis.

The UK has the worst paternity leave offer in Europe. Glad that Luke Charters MP is raising this issue in the Commons today. We found increasing statutory paternity leave to a better paid 6 weeks offer could boost the UK Economy by over £2bn in the near term. www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

My latest Substack post is now live—check it out! In it, I discuss the importance of community for faculty members and educators. It takes work that isn’t often formally rewarded but it can make the difference between surviving and THRIVING in academia. #edusky open.substack.com/pub/notesfro...

I tracked the hours I worked a few years ago and discovered my working hours were the equivalent of 1.7 FTE. Seeing that number broke me but also helped me to deal with some of the guilt of not “publishing enough”, not “working enough”, not meeting the ever increasing expectations.

I did not have as much time as usual to read this year, but these nine books stayed with me. They made me feel and think differently. #goodreads

Why I became interested in social enterprise and why you should be too... especially if you work in procurement. www.magentaassociates.co/good-busines...

Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable piece. The notion of affective labour in constantly evaluating all incoming requests and figuring out whether and how to say “No” as a personal coping mechanism that doesn’t serve anyone resonated so much.
