This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
Pope Leo at Sanctuary of Mama Muxima: “Build a better world, welcoming, where there are no more wars, nor injustices, nor misery, nor dishonesty. It is love that must triumph, not war!"
10.000 vluchten op Lelystad Airport stoot 75.000 kilo NOx per jaar uit en voorkomt zo de bouw van 2500 woningen per jaar, want dat stoot evenveel NOx uit.
Heeft @minienw.bsky.social en @jaimivanessen.bsky.social en @robjetten.bsky.social die belangenafweging gemaakt?
Nope. Wat een amateurs.

Harry Kramer schreef als betrokkene bij het Kerkasiel maanden geleden een brief naar Paus Leo XIV om hem attent te maken op het kerkasiel voor de uitgeprocedeerde familie Babayants in Kampen.
Er kwam reactie, en deze bleek hartverwarmend. 🙏
Elon Musk:
"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization in empathy."
Hanna Arendt:
"The death of human empathy is one the earliest and most telling signs of culture about to fall into barbarism."
“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”
Alsjeblieft verbreek alle relaties met dat regime @robjetten.bsky.social en laat Bibi weten dat we hem naar het strafhof doorsturen als hij ook maar 1 voet op NL-EU grond zet. Het is gekmakend machteloos om geleid te worden door mannen die niets doen. Sanctioneer Israël. Vandaag nog.
The war, horrible as it is in itself, signals the basic problem: abuse of power enabled by wealth inequality and media monopolies. Trump will fall and these issues can be addressed. But only if we see how deep is the rot and how pressing is the need. (13/14)
The U.S. continues to have one of the highest maternal death rates among high-income countries, and the situation is getting worse, not better. Behind this trend is a growing body of research showing that state abortion bans directly contribute to increased maternal mortality.
Al 501 dagen wachten de kinderen Aram, Ariana, Amelia en Aleksa op goed nieuws: dat ze hier mogen blijven, thuis, in Nederland.
Al 501 dagen @kerkasiel.
Pasen gaat over hoop. Geef de kinderen goed nieuws. Kies voor Kindvriendelijk Beleid. ❤️ #500dagen

“We are growing accustomed to violence, resigning ourselves to it, becoming indifferent. Indifferent to the deaths of thousands of people. Indifferent to the repercussions of hatred and division that conflicts sow. Indifferent to economic and social consequences they produce, which we all feel.”
The First Station: "Every person in authority will have to answer to God for the way they exercise their power." Jesus says, "whatever you do to another human being, especially to the small and vulnerable, you do unto me. And it is to me that you will one day give an account."

What an amazing cynical world.
Een storm aan kritiek op Thuisabortus bezorgde Peter Leusink „slapeloze nachten”. In gesprek met de initiatiefnemer van de site waar vrouwen de abortuspil kunnen bestellen: „Wachttijden lopen soms op tot tien dagen. Dat is lang hoor, als je al een besluit genomen hebt.” buff.ly/49PIbvz
In the depths of a forever political crisis, a culture war, and global conflict imbued with extremist religious rhetoric, it can be easy to forget the power of religion as a social force for good—and as a determinant of health, writes @kamranabbasi.bsky.social

No words for how evil this is.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

De klimaatcrisis is niet genderneutraal. 47,8 miljoen méér vrouwen dan mannen kampen met voedselonzekerheid.
Vrouwen zijn ook de oplossing! Zonder genderkloof in de landbouw stimuleert het wereldeconomie met 1000 mld en voedt 45 miljoen mensen extra. #IWD2026
Pope Leo XIV: “War is never holy!”
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Inequality will make the next pandemic worse, warn co-Chairs of the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS & Pandemics @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, @monicageingos.bsky.social, and @michaelmarmot.bsky.social.
The good news: leaders can break the inequality-pandemic cycle.
