My 'Just in Case' rept on UK civil food resilience is out. Critical look. Govt Resilience Framework has sound principles but little focus on food or public. Nat'l Risk Register says only 1/89 risks facing UK society are food-related. Just in Case disagrees nationalpreparednesscommission.uk/publications/j…

I shared these 'Introduction to Degrowth' slides a little while ago, but they needed an update. These slides have a more 'Internationalist' approach to #degrowth than the last set (see slides, 21, 22 & 31), which I believe to be crucial to any successful movement. (1/38)

Let me explain what is happening here. You are witnessing the sudden extinctional end to billions of years of biological evolution in our oceans. Life on this planet is disappearing on land, air, water before you can even measure it. Don’t expect to hear about this in the…

Wild how we call it biodiversity "loss" instead of biodiversity destruction. Biodiversity is not just spontaneously disappearing.

Toddler Anhar from north Gaza had puffy cheeks & bright eyes. 4.5 months of Israel assault turned him into skin & bones. He died of starvation on Tuesday. I can’t even begin to process the horror his parents may have gone through being unable to feed him. (via @muhammadshehad2)

@doomfrog4 @TEOTWP Modern Ag is only efficient under our truly poor accounting methods. Have you run modern Ag with its real costs yet, its externalities and damage to soil & ecosystems, air & water? Modern Ag is incredibly *inefficient*, when its true costs, its long-term costs, are included.

In the world of food and farming, the term "regenerative agriculture" is everywhere you look. Yet, the vast majority of those who claim to practice it fall short. Regenerative agriculture is not a set of practices; it is not a carbon sequestration method, nor is it limited to or…

Honestly it is hard to do any kind of work right now, between the accelerating of planetary destabilisation and the breakdown of any pretence of international law and human rights. It's hard to breathe, even. There has to be a way of working towards good. There has to be. 1/

This is how the children spend their night: sleeping under the rubble, with NO equipment to rescue them and NO hope of being found alive ! More than 8,000 children, women, and families remain buried under the rubble in #Gaza, yet to be extracted and to bury them

The United States and Israel are presently engaged in knowingly and intentionally starving a civilian population, in full view of the world, with apparent impunity. It is impossible to fathom the depravity of what is occurring.

No words left. The US is actively choosing to continue the slaughter of civilians, the mass displacement of millions of people, and the destruction of critical civilian infrastructure. War crime after war crime with explicit US support.

Understanding exponentiality is essential for grasping the severity of climate change and the potential for civilization collapse. The concept is often misunderstood or underestimated, making it difficult to appreciate its implications. 🧵👇

As the Halloween bullshit plaguing our shops & homes makes way for exponentially more Christmas bullshit, ask “Why the fuck are we doing this?” If our answer is “For the kids!” remember that this grotesque overconsumption is exactly the thing robbing them of a liveable future.
