Quick note from the abyss: my physical and mental health has taken a serious dip. I’m mostly housebound, paralysed with migraines and fatigue. I won’t be posting or responding to messages for a while as I rest and heal.
Hope to be back with you soon.
Powerful BBC documentary on Nepal's mass protests last year. Through police leaks and video footage, it shows how civil disobedience to seize a capital can escalate into deadly police violence. Essential viewing for 21st-century revolutionaries.

I am an anxious lover at the moment.
Thankfully the School of Life swooped in again at the right moment to help soothe my worries.
Empire is inconsistent with morality.

Small wins matter: got out for Kapsalon & saw Magnolia bloom yesterday. Migraine today, but still moving forward.
Grateful for everyone walking this path with me. Every step counts 💪

A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.
I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.
Gratitude and solidarity to the legendary Diane Wilson, one of the many epic sheros of the global fight to stop the mass poisoning of people and planet by petrochemical corporations.
Our new book, Suicide, is a radical reckoning on the climate science, legal failure and moral collapse that connects all of this. rev21.earth/product/suic...
Deforestation caused by beef production is the number one threat to the Amazon rainforest.
We are grilling the Earth's lungs to make burgers...
This is our collapsing civilisation. Name it.

Our new book asks what justice means when the warnings are ignored and the consequences land on those least responsible. rev21.earth/product/suic...
Researchers call Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam an "active geohazard hotspot." due to groundwater infiltration, seismic risk and leakage pathways. A breach would also mean catastrophic floods for millions in Sudan and Egypt. The infrastructure of civilisation is cracking.
Climate science meets legal reckoning meets moral emergency. Our new book is part memoir, part radical call to face what's coming. rev21.earth/product/suic...
The UK food system has an Achilles heel — experts warn one shock could trigger an acute crisis and riots within 10 years.
Conflict. Crop failure. Price collapse. Any of these could spark it.
This is what civilisational fragility looks like from the inside.

Our new book, Suicide, connects climate science, legal breakdown and civilisational failure into one unflinching call to act.

Wildfire smoke is making humans more violent.
We are being poisoned into aggression by the same system that's burning the world.
This isn't a coincidence. It's a consequence.
