Is not our job to present balance with far right made up pseudoscientific garbage. It’s our job to study and teach our subjects with a scientific mind and scientific questions. That’s the binding language game in the university.

This is not funny start again

The man who saw the future: the legacy of cultural theorist Mark Fisher Touching on everything from late-stage capitalism to Adele, the work of the late writer is proving increasingly influential. Now a documentary on him is looking to live up to his ideals

What a fascinating project. Must catch the show.

Honoured to be part of the beautiful, fragile collective work #BirdsOfFirle, created & curated by Tanya. An ongoing project of 100 writers responding with objects & online to a single physical manuscript, circulated by post over the course of a decade. On grief & hope as the things with feathers...

I had students in my first year international relations unit in Adelaide, 2003, tell me “there is no such thing as Palestine”.

But the plague is only ever wished on one house.

Water NSW criticised for ‘appalling’ decision after hundreds of turtles left to die in wetlands River ecologist says ‘classic bureaucratic tangle’ led to government agency stopping flows to Gwydir wetlands region in March

My sense is that this is going to be a major scandal, as ecocide should be.

From a Surrey oil well to the supreme court: how an activist changed UK climate law Sarah Finch’s fight against drilling led to a landmark ruling on fossil fuel emissions – and a leading environmental prize

I am deeply honoured to have received the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize for Europe. This recognises my long fight as part of @wealdactiongroup.bsky.social over fossil fuel production – and our eventual landmark legal victory.

Meet the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize Winners Six environmental activists from around the world will be awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize on April 20. Known as the “Green Nobel Prize,” the Goldman Prize honors activists from the six…

Six women have been awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for 2026. This year’s winners secured major victories against fracking in Colombia, oil projects in the U.K., and mining in Papua New Guinea.

Their work proves that local action can drive global environmental justice.

Get to know them!

“ I don’t feel ready to offer an argument for or against the nation state as a site of justice …”

The ecocide is baked in.

Won’t somebody save these hundreds of turtles condemned to death? | First Dog on the Moon There is a whole dam full of water right there but the turtles can’t have it

Will the NSW water minister sue the GuardIan?

I recall an official from the Murray Darling Basin Authority spruiking a plan to increase ”environmental flows”. Like a concentration camp guard debating how much to feed the prisoners, they asked, “but how much recovery can we allow?”

Did The Ecology Politic upset a lot of climate scientists?

Are they willing to reflect philosophically on their context or is there an IPCC chapter to be done? With what possible positive purpose? So states can distort all your work?

all I hear is the usual hum, as the voices echo in the silo.

The climate “model” with CDR is pseudoscience as simulation

‘Incomprehensible’: birds flee and hundreds of turtles left to die after government cuts water to NSW wetlands Frogs and sheep in the Gwydir wetlands near Moree have also been bogged after WaterNSW stopped environmental flows, researchers say

This is why we need an ecocide statute

A Southern Waterway Scarred With Secrets Beneath the beauty of the Inner Passage lies a hidden history of enslaved labor.

"It's important to be willing to look at things that make you feel uncomfortable. To look very hard—instead of looking away—at histories that are conflictual and brutal. We should understand that, and rather than being afraid to look at these histories, we should reckon with their complexity."

Congratulations!

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

We all grew up in the Anthropocene and think it’s normal.

It’s not now and it’s going to be nothing like normal soon. Half the excess CO2 in the atmosphere were polluted after 1990.

Orban was a cornerstone of the international anti-trans movements. Hungarian trans people were among the early targets of his authoritarian regime.

It'll take a long time to come back from it all but I hope Hungarian trans people sleep slightly better tonight.

Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

The result is huge. Vast in its consequences. Orban was the inspiration to all those who came after him. He served as Putin's puppet, undermining Europe from within and Ukraine from without. He funded a vast network of fascists around the world. It's all vulnerable now, or falling apart entirely.

Thank fuck. Now for all the rest.

Ceasefire wins Trump instant gratification but Iran can enter talks with stronger hand US is in weaker position than before war as Tehran has shown capacity to inflict pain on Trump administration

I was reading a great piece in @theconversation.com that made just these points. The strategic genius

To have a liberal world order one has actually to be liberal and egalitarian. Hasn’t been tried.

We have power politics without respect or prudence. Liberal anxiety without conviction. The international system is in disarray and we are sailing without charts.
