🚨 JUST RELEASED: In the last three years the world’s 5 richest men became twice as rich: in the same time 5 billion become poorer. 🤯
As the rich & powerful politicians & business leaders meet in Davos for the World Economic Forum #WEF24, the richest 1% are being allowed to get richer & billions of people are sliding into poverty.
Let's end the injustice of this inequality crisis.

There is little information about Edith Cobb online, except accounts by her friend, Anthropologist #MargaretMead. Her book "#Ecology of Imagination in Childhood" pioneers an idea of children's #Imagination placing them in a radical relationship to #nature. Here's to #edithcobb – at Edinburgh, Scotland

I've put together a thread giving a quick run down of some of the #climate movement's hard won victories from 2023 to inspire us for the year ahead! 🥳🎉

I'm thinking about the relationship between #immigration and Foucault's heterotopias: "The ship is the heterotopia par excellence. In civiliations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure, and the police take the place of pirates." #foucault #migrants – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Dark Earth... the name scientists are giving to a kind of super soil that comes from the remains of Indigenous settlements: "created by millions of Amerindian people between 450 BC and 950 AD."

Last day to catch The Accursed Share @talbotrice75 today.
2 of the best exhibitions I’ve seen in the UK have been in Edinburgh just this month. Alberta Whittle’s ‘Create Dangerously’ at Modern One was phenomenal (went twice/may go again). The Accursed Share at Talbot Rice (on til tomorrow!) was extraordinary. trg.ed.ac.uk/exhibition/accu…
