Texten i bilden är ett utdrag ur en text av mig, baserad främst på boken Foolproof, skriven i nyhetsbrevet Climate Psyched.

I use these with people in climate & community resilience workshops & discussions, but maybe you could use them today also docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Friday morning reminder that there is lots of back-of-house stuff--coordinated & not, though coordinated is more efficient usually--that you can do to keep the warriors alive & well, make their work smoother, hold up people they'd usually support but can't right now, etc.

Good to see the entirely volunteer-run, no-ad, free-to-read @oxfordclarion.bsky.social included in @georgemonbiot.bsky.social’s list of proper local journalists. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As climate disasters escalate and dovetail with political polarization, the right uses disinformation/misinformation to divert attention away from climate solutions and towards division. Come learn more! about misinformation and how to address it! www.climatepsychology.us/cpa-workshop...

i am getting kind of sick of seeing anecdotes like “kids can’t read or tell time or tie their shoes—even in high school” and the problem being framed only as kids and parents and not you know, an entire failing school system, and an economy where parents are underpaid, unsupported, and overwhelmed

Fascinating short sharp introductions to river ecologies. Thanks @jdtonkin.bsky.social

🤣 Respect

Climate cafés are an opportunity to build community in our impossible times. Today’s was connected and joyful - my grateful thanks to those who came and made it happen together. Next one 11 October.

Having said something popular on radicalisation, let me say something unpopular. People on the left are going to have to tolerate sharing online spaces with the centre and centre-right if they don‘t want those people to radicalise.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson. Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word. This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Oxfordshire climate cafés are starting up again today after a break in August. Today’s is at Common Ground, Little Clarendon Street, Oxford. Free. I’ll be the facilitator today. Just turn up at 2.30, or RSVP via our Meetup page www.meetup.com/meetup-group...

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age. They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

So 10yrs after @arusbridger.bsky.social launched the #KeepItInTheGround campaign & 6yrs after @katharineviner.bsky.social's #climate pledge The @theguardian.com finance editor @nilspratley.bsky.social is still writing apologetics for the fossil fuel industry!!! Here's a short 🧵on how dumb this is!

At the end of a hot, dry summer where the impact of climate change has been visible from day to day, how do Oxford families come to terms with a changing world? Karen Dauncey writes about Oxford's Network of Climate Cafés for the Clarion: oxfordclarion.uk/what-on-eart...

Some of the most remarkable lost artefacts from the ancient world were the titanic wrecks of the Nemi ships, built for a Roman emperor. In their first-century heyday they held gardens, palaces and baths in a floating wonderland. But barely a decade after their recovery, they were lost forever.

No, Lord Falconer. Labour should stop pandering to this nonsense. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

“Indigenous People will no longer be reduced to decorative roles in climate talks or NGO reports. We are not props in the environmental movement – we are its frontline defenders. And we demand to be respected and treated as such.”

There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess. I knew no one worth my envying him. Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot. To think that once I was the same man did not embarrass me. In my body I felt no pain. - GIFT by Czeslaw Milosz #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

The only newsworthy aspect of the far-right anti-migrant protests currently is how pathetically small they are. Last summer 60,000 people came to the Restore Nature Now protest in London, and the BBC didn’t even report on it. bsky.app/profile/sund...

Israel's engineered famine in Gaza is only the latest episode in a long and dark history, from Ireland to north America, of colonial regimes using enforced starvation as a weapon of war against Indigenous peoples, to drive them out and steal their lands. theconversation.com/the-dark-his...

Unfortunately, and as I write about in my current book... British society in the 1930s... and even after the start of the war... influenced by newspapers like the Daily Mail was just as hostile to Jewish German and other refugees of Naziism as their modern descendants are to 'asylum seekers' today.

Apropos of reading a frustrating rant about a book by a friend of mine (don't try to guess!), I was just remembering CS Lewis' work on how to criticize. Here's the not-as-famed-as-it-should-be quote:

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.
