I will always tell leftists to read the Jakarta method and killing hope and really process what we will be up against and what that means for the movements we build

Capital has not been threatened seriously in many decades in this country. As a socialist movement grows - even a soc dem / dem soc one - their claws will come out. They have trillions to blow on crushing it

Islands aren’t just in the ocean anymore. By carving up landscapes with roads, fences, and sprawl, we’re creating “mainland islands” — and with them, the same extinction risks. 🧵

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

A #OneHealth approach committed to the health of our planet, non-human animals and human animals is powerful.

A #OneHealth approach that is only concerned with non-human animal "health" so we human animals can continue to safely exploit them, has made a terrible error.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

The @sentientism.bsky.social Worldview, like other worldviews, answers the deepest questions - what's real & who matters.
#Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings". Five year olds understand it - I know because I run worldviews workshops with them.

The only newsworthy aspect of the far-right anti-migrant protests currently is how pathetically small they are.

Last summer 60,000 people came to the Restore Nature Now protest in London, and the BBC didn’t even report on it.

bsky.app/profile/sund...
Times: "Asylum protests swell across the UK " headline, reporting an underwhelming wave.

Leeds "draws 70"
Cardiff "disorganised + small"
Altrincham "*swelled* to around 200"
Cheshunt about 250
Chichester: about 100
Portsmouth: about 70 v 70 on each side

As a physicist I can easily calculate time dilation from relativistic motion (time slows when you're moving fast) or proximity to a massive object (time slows in gravity) but I have yet to find a solution for emotional time dilation (the task takes five minutes to complete but six weeks to start) 🫠
