I have an essay in The BREAK-DOWN: "Care Lessons for the Climate Endgame" - go subscribe (it's free) and read it (and all the other great stuff that's already there 🔥)!
"As old systems fail...the question that matters is how we live in the shadow of collapse, and what forms of care, solidarity and resistance can emerge."

Mikkel Krause Frantzen writes on care and survival in the 'climate endgame' 👇

Today, Jed Britton-Purdy continues our symposium on @alybatt.bsky.social's *Free Gifts.*

"the Fed's primary concern is the systemic threat that [firm or sector risk] poses – even if stabilising measures benefit the too-big-to-fail constituency first & foremost. The administration ... is more interested in a discretionary, patronage-based approach."

China’s achievements at scale are undeniable—but scale is not system. Responding to @kaiserkuo.bsky.social’s call to judge by delivery, @messingschlager.bsky.social argues that durable performance depends on independent measurement, contestable feedback, and system integration, not size alone.
Scale Is Not a System: Learning from China without Mimicry

Very happy to receive the TESG Best Paper Award for my research on Chinese green finance investment in Thailand!
