A terrible combination of dangerously hot summers and underinvestment in vital water infrastructure means we are now vulnerable. We're not going to tackle a heating planet or deal with its consequences if the government is afraid to spend money. bit.ly/3AoMJtu

Looking at existing Environmental and Climate Justice syllabi that barely feature scholars, activists, and communities of color. So I've given myself the (VERY easy) task of writing a syllabus that features almost exclusively writers of color. Feel free to share readings here!

Women, remember this man's name - Danny Kruger. He doesn't believe women should have an absolute right to bodily autonomy. He would prefer politicians make these decisions for you. He wants it "debated." This is how it started in the States.

Let’s stop calling the NHS crisis ‘the COVID backlogs’. It’s political rhetoric. This government carefully and intentionally weakened the NHS for a decade before COVID-19 arrived. COVID-19 exacerbated existing problems, it was not the sole cause.
