The age of warnings is over. The climate and nature crisis is already here, threatening our food, health and national security. On 27 Nov, top UK experts deliver the official briefing our leaders urgently need. Make sure your MP attends❗️ #TimeToStepUp www.nebriefing.org

Our inaugural flagship lecture with @brdemuth.bsky.social was an absolute banger: co-working between humans and dogs, fish who punish humans for their hubris, and the political work of advocating for a transboundary landscape caught in the cross-hairs of US-Canada relations. We all learned so much.

No words for how much I enjoyed the Arctic extravaganza with brdemuth.bsky.social, lalinepaull.bsky.social, ymalhi.bsky.social, klausdodds.bsky.social, clairewarrior.bsky.social, mendelight.bsky.social, and other brilliant people not on BlueSky. Bjorn, the polar bear puppet was pure joy.

Big week at the Environmental Humanities Hub! On Tuesday, @vbivar.bsky.social will be interviewing @alybatt.bsky.social at Blackwells about her new book on capitalism and nature. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/alyssa-bat...
