I have never seen Peter Oborne cry before... He points out that the 'settler' [terrorist] activity in eastern Jerusalem and the West Bank has greatly increased in the last 6 mths, with Israeli military support and complicity. 'A massive program of ethnic cleansing.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udfc...

Coming to understand that gender and sex are two different things.

If you would like to get a good grasp on what motonormativity is, then I highly recommend this explainer talk by Dr Ian Walker, the guy who invented the term.

Subvert the Dominate Paradigm

Between 2021 and 2025, around 2 million cyclists passed the floating bus stops on Leith Street, Edinburgh, and around 5 million bus passengers boarded or alighted here. No injuries have been recorded. Over the same period, drivers injured around 600 Edinburgh pedestrians, killing 16.

Wonderful series of images showing the natural intimacy and affections males once showed one another before the pathologisation of homosexuality after WWII. I really hope men can get back to being this relaxed in each others company. There are signs of it happening with the younger gen.

Nice new study by Fabian Dablander @fdabl.bsky.social & colleagues re *techno-optimist scientists* Such scientists, "are substantially less likely to engage in civic climate action (23% lower) or make high-impact lifestyle changes (18% lower)." iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... >>>

"In Latin America and the Caribbean, wildlife populations fell by 95% [in 52 years, and] 80% in Africa..." How do you even compute such whirlwind annihilation of nature? *THE* best thing we can do to alter such trends? Shift towards more plant-based diets. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Would highly recommend taking the time to listen to this well informed talk from Palestinian voices. It is very much worth it. podcastaddict.com/palestine-de...

One of the key lessons from Dutch cycling history is cities didn't start with protected lanes. They began by making streets safer, calmer and more inviting; with lower speeds, parking restrictions, traffic filters and reduced through-traffic to create an environment in which cycling could flourish.🧵

And, like, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the word “existential” has stopped meaning sexy French people smoking in dark corners and turned into a harrowing discussion about whether our children inherit a civilisation or a famine with great conference centres.

And this govt has not lifted a single finger to address this unconscionable situation. It's an indicator of how truly housebroken we are that we allow this.

Why do we go to all the effort of saying, 'I have a fear of heights', when 'I get heightmares' is right there?

This is an excellent interview with one of the architects of the Zionism is Racism policy. Highly recommended. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IQo...

Every day, Israeli army soldiers randomly open fire with machine guns at the tents of displaced families and inhabited residential buildings in the remaining 30% of Gaza, where most of remaining Gazas population is now crammed. Every single day, there ... #IsraeliWarCriminals #BoycottIsrael #BDS

The Green Party has done the unacceptable - they have called liberal white people 'racists' This is unforgivable and the must be punished with the full weight of civil society It will be interesting to see where this heads - Will there be a new home for actual dem-socs now? It will still take time.

I'm loving all the pearl clutching by the centrists in the Green Party. Hopefully now they will know their place as a minority. The Green Party is the only one with the guts to do the right thing, finally.

The entire boomer generation is Gollum. Everything on this planet is theirs... their precious. Don't even think of taking anything from them. It's theirs.

This graph compares the solar energy coming in [black line] against the energy escaping [red line]. The imbalance has more than tripled in 22 years. That energy is rapidly heating the planet and is causing system collapse right now The window for a smooth transition has closed From @leonsimons.com

This was posted literally on the day a 95 year old Jewish woman was arrested for holding up a sign protesting a gen0cide...

Where are the mercenary vigilante forces destroying oil-extraction infrastructure, PFAS chemical plants, the plastics producers, the car/plane factories? Life on earth literally and entirely depends on the cessation of these products. They will not do it willingly. We need to be doing it violently.

The goal is not being able to 'pay rent'... The goal is getting rid of rent.

We simply do not loathe @uklabour.bsky.social enough.

We fear a more powerful intelligence taking our resources, reshaping our world, and eliminating us when we become inconvenient. Wildlife has been living with that intelligence for a very long time. New Substack Essay: The Real Fear: AI Is Like Humans

There was planetary abundance. And we have destroyed it.

Gerrard Winstanley, who died 350 years ago today: “Was the earth made to preserve a few covetous, proud men to live at ease, and for them to bag and barn up the treasures of the earth from others, that these may beg or starve in a fruitful land; or was it made to preserve all her children?”

prisoners v abducted/kidnapped hostages died somehow v killed Hamas-controlled services v 'Israel said...' The occupied are aggressors v the occupiers are victims/defending insurgent massacres v just collateral damage genocide v war

Honestly, if we're having to expend energy on fighting low-hanging fruit like data centres, which should the easiest of red-lines... then we are screwed. Utterly screwed. We ain't winning this.

An excellent little insight. It's maddening how we think we can continue imposing linear systems onto circular nature. youtu.be/2WdGvF9zXf8?...

The last thylacinus died in captivity on this day 90 yrs ago. Of course, they were hunted to extinction as they were considered a danger to livestock. Though it's now thought they only hunted small prey. Being marsupials they had pouches, both sexes in fact. And could open their mouths really wide.

Now would be a good time for Extinction Rebellion to go down to Dover and block access. Or supporters of Palestine Action. Or both.

Love living in a world where blatant racism is 'legitimate concern', but incoming climate catastrophe and ongoing gen0cide are not. And there are still people pretending like Labour are 'decent people'.

We either do a managed decline, Or a cataclysmic decline. Our present path is the latter.

Germany has been arming Israel’s genocide, apartheid and illegal occupation. Don’t let it get away with it. Follow the ICJ hearings from 7 September and make them impossible to ignore. Demand your government end every military transfer to Israel.

"I don't keep saying, 'we owe it to the young', to give them hope. I don't want your hope, or to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. Then I want you to act as if you were in a crisis. To act as if the house is on fire. Because it is." Greta Thunberg, 2019.

Are we not as gods, we cried! As we claimed this earth our own. Here the land is ours, to do with as we please. Exploiting to destruction, if we so should deem. Animals our playthings, water our possession, The air a dumping range. And as everybody knows - a god is never wrong.
