Friends, who are your favourite living economists? Looking for fresh & fair ways of thinking about and arranging resources & systems. ✨ Am already familiar with the work of Kate Raworth & her team at DEAL, but all suggestions appreciated.

Hey friends, I've just started an account on Upscrolled. I'm keen to give it a proper go as it seems to have been born of a similar ethos to Bluesky. I'd love you to join me over there if you're game - let's create a social media platform that we can feel genuinely good about. I'm @dazlikesclouds

Thanks for sharing @strawslut.bsky.social - i it's my 1st substack post.

Some Thoughts on Terror and Safety This readiness to name, legislate, and moralise “terror” sits in grotesque contradiction with what is simultaneously permitted, defended, and materially rewarded elsewhere.

I've written about the language of counter-terrorism – not as a principled stance against violence, but as a selective tool that sanitises, and ultimately enables far greater crimes when they align with power and profit.

#redactionhumour is just so hot right now.

The guests are phenomenal & explore a vast array of worlds probing topic areas like sustainable food systems, to mobility in totality, to heteronormativity, incarceration, to International Humanitarian Law and AI...

@parallel-effect.bsky.social is about to launch a podcast series... It takes the premise at the heart of the project – that an untold number of universes exist alongside each other – & provides direct access to some of our reality’s most fascinating thinkers.

What an unbearably cruel, ugly & gravely disappointing human world this is.

Let's go down fighting.

What hope do any of us have when 60,000 humans can be murdered in plain sight, & our collective will to uphold International Humanitarian Law — designed to protect civilians, the sick & wounded, and prisoners of war — is deemed secondary in importance to the architecture of empire?

Venting here feels surprisingly healthy.

That's me (well, my knee anyway)in the orange and black animal appreciation pattern... And that extended leg - right up in my grill - belongs to an entitled twat on public transport. Grrr.

I'm especially interested in early moments when this connection began to enter scientific or public discourse. Any pivotal studies, reports, or policy shifts that stand out to you?

Att: researchers, environmentalists, & food systems ppl: What are some key historical milestones when the environmental impact of global food systems—particularly diets & agricultural practices—was first directly linked to climate change & carbon emissions? [1 of 2]

Information - Rewriting The Rules About MJ

Am about to interview one of my heroes. Such an inspirational thinker and all-round champion human, MJ Barker. So excited: www.rewriting-the-rules.com/about-me/

I have ancestors from Lewis (my grandfather). Would love to see the Outer Hebrides in real life at some point. Thanks for this beautiful image.

Make sure you watch this vid with the sound on!!

Easter prayers for the resurrection of a just & inclusive reality for all beings. One in which we can all take pride & truly thrive. These wishes are uttered alongside the drumming of this extraordinary woodpecker – the 1st I've ever witnessed IRL – such a resonant voice from such a tiny body

Tawny Frogmouth: Master of Camouflage YouTube video by Animalogic

Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.

Paul Parker, Quakers in Britain, said: “No-one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory.

“This aggressive violation of our place of worship & the forceful removal of young people holding a protest group meeting clearly shows what happens when a society criminalises protest."

They're generally not as overt as this. They are true masters of disguise & often hide in plain sight.

For as long as I can remember there have been Tawny Frogmouths in the trees in this backyard. Even though they are nocturnal carnivores, they have weak feet & no talons, & therefore are not classified as owls. Where there's one, there's almost always two.🦉🦉
