I published This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate in 2014. Lots of serious people explained that we didn't have time to tackle capitalism, climate was too important. Let the market fix it for us.

Trying to make sense of the fast moving geopolitics with a 🇨🇦 /🇺🇸 lens? Energy is central to modern Ag processes and policy. This roundtable is a great primer.

What matters now is helping each other prepare for the storms, heat waves, floods, fires, landslides, pandemics, and droughts coming at them -- sometimes one by one and sometimes a few at the same time.

Nice Americans, a plea:
There are many of you here. Hello.
Please stop imagining the benefits of Canada being consumed by America.
Instead advocate against this horrific notion.
Wasting time imagining it happen is time you can better spend fighting against it.
Best,
Paul, a Canadian

Arundhati Roy called the pandemic “a portal” thru which we’d emerge one kind of society or another: one w/ a broad safety net & an ethic of care & public health OR one that 👀 all life as disposable for capital accumulation.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Food supplies are impacted by H5N1. Chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese are being culled. ⬇️ eggs & meat are available. Sick & dead 🐄 cows means ⬇️ milk and cheese supplies. Prices are 📈 and will continue to rise.
Fun fact: 🇨🇦 needs 700k eggs/day to make 1M+ of various vaccine doses annually.

The AMOC is likely to weaken by 33% within 10 years. At this pace the circulation system is becoming permanently unstable. Without climate stability food production also becomes permanently unstable. #climate #foodsystems #supplychains

Human Resource Development Quarterly: Never quite right: Identity Factors experienced by women leaders in the United States by Amy Diehl, Leanne Dzubinski, Amber Stephenson
My new study (N=913) finds 30 identity factors as basis for discrimination against women leaders. Women leaders are “never quite right” as almost any facet of their identity can be declared problematic for a specific woman in a specific context.
