I’ve been very ill lately — as in typing this from the hospital — and so reflecting on how to update downsized online accounts to capture the many ways I’m me, honoring how I am frail yet fighting still.

How might we lean into our full selves as a way to resist capitalist notions of who matters?

Yay Prof. Adelle Chua, former student and my Manila Standard editor whose writing style I have always wanted to emulate, and climate justice comrades Bea Talusan and Pecier Decierdo. Thanks for coming to the book launch of #RansomedByLove.

Doechii and Brittany Howard got me through (are getting me through) some pretty dark times this year. I hold out hope for this feeling as I recover: “And how did I feel? I felt this immense sense that my life was never going to be the same again.”

Hanif Abdurraqib, one of my favorite writers ever, on 2024 Kendrick: “GNX feels, to me, like a portrait of someone standing in the aftermath of a needed destruction, deciding what to rebuild and what to leave decimated.”
newyorker.com The New Yorker @newyorker.com · Dec 10
Even in its brightest moments, Kendrick Lamar’s new album feels like the work of an artist still very much wrapped up in the spectacle of the past year, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.
Kendrick Lamar’s Year on Top
What has made Lamar both fascinating and a bit dangerous, for those, such as Drake, who chose to cross him this year, is the fact that he doesn’t seem to desire anything that his peers have.

The small nation of Vanuatu put the entire industrialized world on trial this month in The Hague. The case is about climate change. Do countries have a legal as well as a moral obligation to prevent a planetary disaster?
The International Court of Justice Takes On Climate Change
Thanks to the maneuverings of the tiny nation of Vanuatu, the entire industrialized world is effectively on trial in The Hague.

From our team on the ground:
Quote from Andreas Sieber, 350.org Associate Director of Policy & Campaigns: "The new climate finance and mitigation draft texts presented at COP29 today fail to deliver what is needed to transform the lives of those most impacted by the climate crisis. Will governments recall this moment too, when the next climate disaster hits their country? A fast, fairly funded fossil fuel phase out is what we need reflected in these texts. Right now, we only see cowardice and a void in leadership, ignoring the undeniable science. By the end of the UN climate talks, we must see at least a trillion dollars in public finance on the table." Quote from Joseph Sikulu, 350.org Pacific Director and Pacific Climate Warrior: "We hoped to see a draft text today that would show rich nations putting their money where their mouth is and responding to the demands from the Global South. What we got is a text with no clear grant based core money. Nothing less than one trillion dollars in grants per year will be enough to see those most impacted by climate change on a just transition towards a safe, equitable future. Rich countries must stop dithering, and start delivering - this is not charity, it's time for them to pay their debt."

Hi! I’m Beatrice. I’m a 🇵🇭 writer & climate justice organizer.

What gives me joy: working on people-powered campaigns for energy justice, building gatherings for activists, and leaning into solidarity, care & joy as we resist & rebuild.

This can’t be it. A better world is possible ♥️
