More, more climate delay

What a different world we could have.

Not *too* unbelievable 😉 an excerpt from The #NewClimateWar (www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/micha...)

How might urban citizens live with extreme heat 100yrs from now?🔥 Still on a high from our CSB design futures workshop "The Repair Shop for Tomorrow: Provo-types for a Climate-Resilient Pluriverse" So many bright ideas from our students! Excited to mentor them as they apply for innovation funding.

Just finished all 3 seasons of Somebody Somewhere on Max. Such a sincere, empathetic, and sometimes delightfully irreverent exploration of humanity. Bridget Everett was brilliant as the main protagonist. Absolutely deserves its Peabody.

Are there any Global South academics out there rethinking travel plans the US? Supposed to deliver a lecture in OR this May. Some news reports about travel are unsettling. Getting mixed advice on how un/stable things might be by then.

There are countless phenomenal women to look up to, to be in solidarity with, to be valued as competent colleagues, and to be cherished as caring loved ones or as loyal friends. To be heard & celebrated all year round, not just today. That is the dream. #WomensDay2025

It's a war against humanity.

Universal healthcare isn’t just a pipe dream folks. Early human societies thrived by sharing resources and caring for the sick to ensure collective survival. It’s already in your code!

A good addition to my qualitative research class reading list

It’s so hard to find friends who relate to CEO problems. Let’s talk about how challenging it is to be a CEO and then let’s plan a meetup to bond. Maybe on a boat so we can see whaley whales, just look at some orcas

Hi, I’m God. Thou shalt not steal. That includes taking from the poor and giving it to the rich.

Suggested reading to grasp why (disaster) prevention policy continually fails to take off. One cause: policy environment is too complex so policymakers choose the *appearance of success* vs addressing root causes. Sounds familiar 'no? Open access chapters by authors: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

I am very excited that our project "#CAREscape: #Climate-Adaptive Reimaginings for Enhancing #Healthcare Spaces of the Future – (with @anthropam.bsky.social and others) is funded by the @BritishCouncil #InternationalCollaborationGrants @BritishArts arts.britishcouncil.org/projects/int...

Not particularly please with the way the world is going, including with this. WTF, really. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Is there a way to save posts/content here?

If you’re wondering why this is still the case, Elsa Koleth and I provide some context on gender and UN policymaking spaces in Urban Geography here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1... also h/t @anthropam.bsky.social #geosky #urban #COP28

First pic I took of the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan - the mass grave in San Joaquin. The first stop of our women's rights humanitarian group after landing in Tacloban. Unfathomable loss & injustice. Some DRRM improvements since then but still many lessons to be learned 10 years after.

It is World Tsunami Awareness Day. In the early hours of June 7 1931, the largest recorded earthquake in the UK struck Dogger Bank in the North Sea. It sent a tsunami racing down the Humber. Fortunately, it was less than half a metre high and was largely unnoticed.

"A Reconnected Earth" will be launched this weekend as a complement to the similarly titled art exhibit. Includes my piece on the potential of the social sciences & humanities to center those most affected by climate change. Thanks to the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design for leading this!

50, 000 pregnant women are in Gaza without water, shelter, food or medical care. How can this be allowed to go on? www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-...

I love this Radiohead song

Last year at COP27 in Egypt, one activist said that ending the talks without a loss & damage fund -- essentially, climate reparations -- would be "a resounding moral failure." Countries avoided that by establishing the fund but leaving out the details. Now, talks about those details have collapsed.

Both-sidesism only makes sense in a level playing field.
