Shared social identity transforms social relations in imaginary crowds @ukri.org funded. doi.org/10.1177/1368...

With all the fascism, over-concentration of power, denial of reality around things like #longCOVID and the associated failures of public health, and general abuse of authority for personal gain going on right now it's good to have a reminder that individuals can make a difference.

On Saturday eve at #COP29 I watched a presentation by @rahmstorf.bsky.social followed by Q&A. At the end of a long-heavy day of interviews, I felt whacked. This session exemplified the chasm between dangerous risk we face & our empty response to it. It all comes back to eradicating fossil fuels ....
