There’s too much superficial worshipping of David Attenborough and not enough focus on what he is saying. He’s warning our lives are in danger! The future is not what most people think it is. We all have to peacefully rise up and protest and demand systemic global action

Countless of people are having to flee because of the climate crisis. The time to act is now. We need to get informed, speak up on climate justice and migrant justice, and support vital organizations like @UNmigration #ClimateMigration

If one single British child went missing anywhere in the world 🇬🇧 government and media would go into meltdown and expect the world to care too. Dozens of kids have gone missing in 🇬🇧 but bedside they’re foreign and seeking asylum neither govt nor media seems to give a toss 1/2

I'm an academic and not working during the holidays (despite January looking crazy busy). Still far too many people on Twitter making out like this is a controversial choice. Academia might be a job we love, but it is still a job. Today I'll be doing a jigsaw and drinking tea! ☕

Brexit Freedom Bill which comes into affect in 1 year and 3 days time, it removes the right to paid holidays, maternity leave and sick pay. The Tories didn’t stick that on the side of a bus.

I spend a lot of time listening to stories of #change from elders on the #coast of #Bangladesh. Every elderly person is like a big archive. Information from senior citizens helps me write #ClimateCrisis stories. I connect the present with the #stories I hear from them.

You don't protest, so you think the Public Order Bill - the most repressive legislation of the modern era - doesn't affect you? If so, I'm sorry to say that you couldn't be more wrong. *Please* watch this. You need to know.
