This is a photo of our home planet taken only a few hours ago! So what? We have photos of Earth taken from space every day. Ah, but *this* photo was taken by a spacecraft ON ITS WAY TO JUPITER.

Islamophobia is wrong. Antisemitism is wrong. Terrorism is wrong. Racism is wrong. Killing children is wrong. War crime is wrong. Occupation is wrong. GENOCIDE is wrong ! Can we all agree on this?
Moral consistency really isn’t that difficult. Genocide is wrong, fascism & authoritarianism are bad, and no one is free until we all are free
Tempting to change the profile picture to a new pic, but I kinda like my mash up of the climate stripes and my determined glare!

The Terrorist regime ruling Israel is committing a genocide against Palestine. This is not directed against all Jewish people, because that's nonsense. All of those who oppose Genocide should oppose the current ruling body of Israel. This is not a question of opinion. #FreePalestine
S.Peggie loses on every point apart from the administrative failures of NHS systems. GC lawyers have wasted NHS time and resources for a vanity project with net-zero result for them or Peggie. The aim is never to win legally but use the story to lobby politically through media.
El Niño is an absolute monster we have now surpassed the Super El Niño of 2015-2016 with peak expected in November-December 2026. We can’t truly know how significant the 1877-1878 El Niño was in equatorial Pacific clearly very significant, but this is at least strongest event in ~150 years.

I feel like one of the most radical, best and most rebelliously good things you can do right now in the informational online space is just....give people credit, love, support and shoutouts. Even if they just inspired you or prodded a thought you built on, name them and thank them loudly.
Tyndall Centre colleague Dr Claire Brown and I discuss social housing, overheating, thermal comfort and how UK homes need to adapt to a changing climate. Climate-resilient housing is a social justice issue, and the UK must address both its existing housing stock and the homes being built.
How Do We Keep Our Homes Liveable in a Hotter Climate? In Conversation with Dr Claire Brown
My #CoffeeGeogPod chat with Dr Claire Brown highlighted the importance of adapting UK housing for climate change, focusing on thermal comfort during heat waves. We discuss social issues such as the insulation and shading choices available to private homeowners versus social housing tenants. Retrofitting existing homes and incorporating solar shading into building regulations are pivotal for future-proofing structures and ensuring health and safety.

I never heard of #Pip&Nut until the bigots went after them for publicly supporting and standing by their trans employees. And instead of capitulating when the rabid comments came, they doubled-down. So, thanks GCs! I wouldn’t have heard of them without you 😘 #Irony #PeanutButter

I’ve written to my MP, the Home Secretary and the PM this morning demanding that the government take action to defend the RNLI and clamp down on these far-right “activists”, who need to be arrested and charged for the criminal offences in this thread alone, as well as others in recent weeks.
Emma Yeomans@yeomans.bsky.social · last wk.Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.
