If someone broke into your house, set stuff on fire, sprayed chemicals into the air, and poisoned your water, it would be a crime.

But corporations and individuals do this to our planet—our home—with impunity.

@drjuliashaw.bsky.social reframes this as criminal, and I can’t wait to read her book

Since my "Defenders of the Environment" series I've been obsessed with the brave people fighting against ecological crimes.
@drjuliashaw.bsky.social new book "#GreenCrime" explores why these crimes are so deadly, and how we can stop them from "stealing our future".

98. Bi by @drjuliashaw.bsky.social . This was recommended to me and I really enjoyed it. Concise but thoughtful, approachable but opens new areas for critical exploration. And, despite frank discussion of the erasure, harassment, and persecution of bi+ people, it's also very affirming.

"That everyone can learn to read will ruin, in the long run, not only writing but thinking too"

Just read this in Nietzsche's book Thus spoke Zarathustra, & it evoked the ai doomism we are hearing at the moment
