Rockström would do well to read this: "even if it seems complicated & deeply unpopular in the moment – working towards a more environmentally sustainable future is impossible without working towards peace & addressing the root causes of social & human rights issues" www.edie.net/greta-and-ga...

When the Met Office shared that this summer was the hottest in UK records, the comment section was sadly all too familiar Over on Instagram, we took the opportunity to reshare a Reel debunking a common bit of misinformation about climate change, using the superb Climate Stripes graphic.

The word for tea in almost every language comes from just two roots: tea or cha. If your country got tea by sea trade, you say some version of tea. If it came overland, you say some version of cha. English has both: tea and chai! There's the portuguese though who say chá though they got it by sea

In this moment the EU is missing the UN deadline for new climate pledges. ➡️ No 2040 target due to #Macron, #Merz and #Stocker ➡️ Paris Agreement at risk ➡️ Our credibility on the line The world is watching. We must show up in Belém with real climate ambition. #COP30 #EU2040

A massive dereliction of leadership and duty, if true. A few years ago, Starmer branded Rishi Sunak’s absence from the world’s top #climate conference as a “failure of leadership”. He was right then - he must do the right thing himself now #COP30

#COP30 is the last chance for govts to make nationally determined contributions (NDCs) that can get us back on track to #1.5degrees. Starmer must attend.

The final instalment of our summer archive detour features writing on what it means to be an outsider, including pieces by James Wood, Edward Said, Lorna Finlayson, Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen, Adam Phillips, Jacqueline Rose, Adam Shatz and Wendy Steiner. Read here: www.lrb.co.uk/collections/...

A significant flow of British LGBTQ ppl is already happening as the British government removes basic human rights from trans ppl & talks of exiting the European Court of Human Rights which guarantees the equal rights of all Queer people. Resource: lgbt.ie

First Farage platformed notorious UK anti-vaxxer, Aseem Malhotra, who insinuated that Covid vaccines caused the Royal Family’s recent cancers. Now he’s openly trashing scientific method & evidence, pretending neither can be trusted & facts are a free for all. This is deeply dangerous populism.

Couldn't be clearer from the #IPCC. #DeGrowth #PostGrowth, call it whatever you like. We need to stop the demand for more stuff. But how do you do that without first making capitalism a fossil?

Survivors are being harmed by hostile immigration policies. The policies in the government's new immigration white paper will cause even greater harm. Migrant women deserve safety. We urge the government to take action now! #NoWomenLeftBehind Read more ➡️ buff.ly/mAzPl65

Judith Butler is being targeted by the US government. We must stand up | Joel Swanson

Disgraceful. Absurd. As with the Kimmel situation, politicians across the world want to suppress protest and creative resistance. They hate opposition. They hate protest. They hate satire. They hate art. Soon we will wake up and find our mouths gagged, our hands tied, our pens and laptops taken away

As someone living with Lp(a), I was struck by the violent beauty of this #Wellcome #photography prize winning image and the power of scientific micro imaging to make visible to all something previously only visible to scientists. @wellcometrust.bsky.social

Reform branded ‘threat to democracy’ over Farage plan to remove thousands of migrants with leave to be in UK – politics live

Publisher criticises Reform council’s ‘Trumpian’ boycott of Nottingham Post

With zero public consultation or discussion of the social and environmental consequences of embracing #generativeAI, #Labour signed multiBILLION deal with US that will have felt impacts on all our lives.

Excited to see this timely and much-needed #SaferParks project come to fruition! It's been such a privilege to do some pro bono work translating the materials into Arabic for this excellent initiative to make parks safer spaces for women and girls 💚

Shocking statistics from @newhumanitarian.bsky.social on people killed while seeking aid in #Gaza.

Given the context and the crowd, despite Musk’s weasel words, this was a call for violence against the British state, from a foreign national who controls a major propaganda engine, and has engineered it to monetise hate

We sure are investing a lot of money on #AI, a technology that is proving to be, in some of its forms, quite unreliable. Is that wise? "The bigger the boom gets, the bigger the knock-on consequences of an AI chill could be." #AIEthics www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

If the UK government doesn’t respond strongly to this, then the consequences will be grave.

Three lives lost last night in the Channel. No one should have to risk death to seek safety. Yet many are left with no other choice. 📣We need safe routes now #saferoutes #refugeeswelcome

Hopeful to see so many influential women standing up to the far right in this open letter that calls out the lies and disinformation linking sexual abuse to immigration - a dangerous narrative & distraction from the real causes of abuse. @leannewood.bsky.social @zarahsultana.bsky.social #vawg

1. The impacts of predatory capital - impossible rents, failing public services, rising costs of living - are being blamed across the billionaire press on immigrants and Black and Brown people. It's so crude, so obvious, so familiar .... but if you tell the lie often enough, people believe it. 🧵

NEW: Home Affairs Committee finds lack of coordinated, strategic funding approach is jeopardising work to end violence against women. Echoing specialist VAWG orgs, the commitee calls for 3-5 year funding settlements and ring-fenced funding for specialist services led by and for marginalised women.

Join me today for a free workshop on cyanotyping at @landworkersuk.bsky.social land skills fair in the kids area!

Outrageous that this was ever allowed. Water companies are misleading farmers, selling them toxic sewage sludge containing tonnes of microplastics as a 'cheap fertiliser'...

Very excited to see Three Acres + A Cow performing tomorrow at the #LandSkillsFair at Crops Not Shops -- it comes with the review "Everybody should see this show" from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @landworkersuk.bsky.social

We welcome the Leveson Review’s wide-reaching recommendations to address the Crown Courts crisis. Extended delays to victims’ cases have not only left rape survivors without access to justice but caused them considerable harm and suffering. Urgent change is needed

Really enjoyed editing this paper exploring the social and behavioural science around risk communication and community engagement for experimental vaccines during health emergencies recently. It's a controversial topic. What are your thoughts on experimental vaccines? #RCCE #SBS #Covid19 #ebola

Baroness Bertin will give evidence to the @commonswec.parliament.uk this week. 🔗 committees.parliament.uk/event/23505/... They want to find out more about how the availability of violent porn is contributing to #sexist & #misogynistic attitudes for their #misogyny inquiry. #BertinReview

Important podcast by @everebecca.bsky.social who spent months speaking to policewomen abused by their police office partners. Particularly interesting insight into how forces responded to murder of Sarah Everard Listen to the podcast here: t.co/7eJuVEiQWF Eve's story for the Observer:

An exhilaratingly edifying read from @jasonhickel.bsky.social with a hopeful vision for the present/future and clear guidance on how to get there. Read and share!

Met police lead on VAWG is right to call for more 'societal outrage' on VAWG. High levels of societal tolerance are a part of the problem and outrage is the antidote @theguardian.com @jessasatomp.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
