Was reminded it may not actually be common knowledge that the Amazon rainforest is a largely man-made feature. Huge swaths of even the soil are anthrosol. Many of our food crops today originate from this agricultural system.

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

There are now over a million internally displaced persons in Lebanon. There are some 5-6 million people in total in Lebanon. That’s around 20% of the total population. At least. It’s barely been 2 weeks. The curse of having Israel as your neighbour.

Last week I checked in on a friend, someone who I thought would be one of the very last immigrants (who have any other options) to leave Germany, only to find that they and their family are already in the process of leaving. Their explicit reason: the rise of fascism. Very, very disturbing times.

The thing is: “remigration” is already happening. Far from the comments sections underneath pieces of writing like these, where people exchange anguished or angry words about the future of Germany and the country’s soul, people are already leaving. Foreigners out, cry the protesters, and in some sense they are getting their wish. Every few weeks, I go to check in on a friend or acquaintance and find that they are either in the process of packing their bags or they are gone, gone, gone. In general the white ones are staying in Europe and the non-white ones are putting an entire ocean between themselves and here. Germany’s problem isn’t the loud migrants like me. It’s the ones who right now are leaving silently, never to return.

Mostafa Fadaei Fard, 'Is there any city village or camp available to provide temporary or permanent residence for more than 15 million people anywhere in Iran? If it does not rain on other cities and villages of the country by the end of December should the entire country be evacuated?'

Climate crisis or a warning from God? Iranians desperate for answers as water dries up

As rainy season fails to bring relief, authorities try cloud seeding – while others across the country pray for a miracle

British Jews are tired. Quite literally tired after 25 hours of fasting and intensive prayers. So please don’t expect quick and thoughtful takes on the Manchester synagogue attack from us. Give us a few days.

Israel's treatment of Palestinian prisoners since 7 Oct is comparable to the worst dictatorships on earth. - the number keeps growing, and is now around 11k - close to 90% are held without trial - starvation as policy - rampant torture - dozens died in prison, no accountability
