Pope Francis, who died on Monday at 88, was a strong and vocal environmental advocate and used his papacy to help inspire global efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions. He framed climate change as an urgent spiritual issue and helped push the world to take action.

“When words stop meaning what they’re meant to mean, then we’re in trouble.” In a new interview, the novelist Katie Kitamura talks about why writing is particularly important right now.
glfdig.st/wRx6yw2
A quote from the novelist Katie Kitamura that reads, “Novels and writing in general feel incredibly important, because it is already clear, in the new Administration, that language is going to be a terrain where a substantial part of this battle is going to be fought: what language people are allowed to use, how language is manipulated or denuded of meaning. I think what writers do or can try to do is to use language with precision and care.”

Op 20 januari 1986 stond de laatste vervolgstrip van Tom Poes en Heer Bommel in de krant, 'Het einde van eindeloos' (hoewel het later in de krant werd herhaald). De reeks begon op 16 maart 1941.

Researchers have long debated over whether the language we speak shapes how we perceive the world. Now that some 1.5 billion people speak the same language, English, this question has taken on a new urgency.
How Much Does Our Language Shape Our Thinking?
English continues to expand into diverse regions around the world. The question is whether humanity will be homogenized as a result.
