Greta got a lot of shit for going from climate change to Palestine but there's likely a stronger connection than you think between the fossil fuel industry and the growth of belligerent autocratic states that support or tolerate exactly the kind of thing that's going on in Palestine

They should award it to Greta Thunberg. That would drive him insane.

Completely unprecedented!

This is what happens when you increase the global greenhouse gas forcing by 4.1 W/m² while simultaneously cooling parts of the planet inhomogeneously in time and space and then largely mitigate cooling aerosols, while continuing with record high greenhouse gas emissions:

Quite a lot actually, and we wrote it too.

💯

Disasters are not natural. Geography doesn’t make anyone a prisoner.

You could say, natural processes and the natural shape of our land and seas have been made fraught by the colonially of the human race, and even weaponised by those with power.

#NoNaturalDisasters @nonaturaldisasters.bsky.social · 6d

Imagine this world: after a storm, headlines say “Unsafe housing left thousands exposed” not “Natural Disaster.”

Response fixes inequalities, funding builds resilience, and leaders face questions.

Disasters are human-made.

Gender Clinic Files: Some people in Scotland will never get a gender clinic appointment on a 224-year waitlist

“More than 48,000 people in the UK were waiting for their first NHS gender clinic appointment as of March 2025, a 12.5% increase since the previous year”

As a frequent user of the ponds, it disgusts me that terfs are taking a beautiful place and pouring their hate into it. Please fill in this survey if you want to protect this space for all women and make trans women feel. PS the ducks think terfs suck. And the friendly fox. And the crows.

Sophie Molly @sophiemolly.co.uk · 7d

The Gender Critical have already inundated this survey with their disgusting views on banning trans people from using the ponds.

Would be a shame if we inundated with trans positive views on not banning trans people.

After a lifetime of voting Labour (& even joining the Labour Party) every day I’m grateful I voted for the Green Party in the last general election.

My conscience is clear.

I’ve since joined the Green Party - and I’m SO glad I did! I want my energy to go to radical honesty, integrity & inclusion!

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 9d

The Labour Party are bought and paid for.

Lobbying, cash for access, vested interests. This is who they are.

It doesn't have to be this way.
