What makes scientists leave the lab and take to the streets? I've had the honour of reading this insider's account of Scientist Rebellion and the academic activist movement, and it's brilliantly insightful, challenging and uplifting

The fact that the most thorough and technologically advanced genocide of our time, the rise of fascism & destruction of US academia, are all being justified under the umbrella of opposing antisemitism is not just a heinous trick of history. It means something quite profound.

🦖 The dinos didn't have a choice. We do. Today at @cphairports.bsky.social the dinos protested the ultra-rich's climate destruction and air pollution together with activists from ExtinctionRebellionDK and @scientistrebellion.bsky.social #staygrounded #banprivatejets

How to build community while dismantling the fossil economy? There's still time to apply to the 2nd instance of our NSU Study Circle on Degrowth & Exnovation. This summer in Finland, our focus will be on organizing towards degrowth futures: xhttps://www.nsuweb.org/circle-9-degrowth-and-exnovation/

I wish I could unfollow anyone not skeeting about Gaza and Palestine right now. There is a for-real genocide going on RIGHT NOW and people are still skeeting about sandwiches and art and USians having protest signs. It makes me want to throw up.

Why do so many people still suggest "calling your Congressional office or the White House" as like the go-to form of "resistance." Just saw this in a comment by Nicholas Kristof, the NYT columnist, but have been seeing it all over. I thought it was clear that was deader than dead as a useful thing

Conference season is near. Dear fellow academics, first of all you shouldn't be flying anywhere for a conference, the climate crisis is real ffs. Second, DO NOT GO TO THE US unless you are cool with being detained, harmed and potentially deported to Salvadoran prison camps. So: DO NOT GO TO THE US.

*A lecture on Degrowth Utopianism* This week was session 3 of our #Degrowth and Socioecological Justice course at the University of Copenhagen. This time, the course featured Assoc. Prof. Mikkel Frantzen, with Jeppe Svan representing @dengroenneung.bsky.social & the publishing house Økotopia. 1/n
