💥 Eternal growth threatens our survival. We do not need to destroy the planet or exhaust people to build a better world. Technology plus solidarity plus MMT equal hope. We can choose well-being over stress.

The connotation of deprivation attached to degrowth comes from capitalist propaganda. It should be resisted. Degrowth should be embraced openly, precisely because it is anticapitalist and because it is promoting prosperity.

“If we grow the global economy at current rates, it will more than double in size by the middle of the century. It’s already very difficult to decarbonise the existing economy in the short time we have left; nearly impossible to do it almost twice over.” #degrowth

If we allow Ukraine to collapse and be overrun by Russia it will initiate a contagion that will ultimately consume much of eastern Europe and claim millions of lives. Our children will be drafted to fight the barbarian invaders. We will all suffer the pain of war.
Ukraine’s most perilous winter so far
The big question is whether the country will emerge in good enough shape to resist a bad peace deal being foisted on it.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

The longer we wait, the larger the "targets gap": from 2030 to 2035, the gap between climate targets and the pathways to 1.5°C is projected to grow up to two billion tonnes, up from 26-29 GtCO2e in 2030, to 26-31 GtCO2e by 2035.

The Paris Agreement works! In 2015, our current policies pathway led to 3.6°C of warming by 2100. 10 years later this has dropped by around 1°C. This framework has rewritten the rules of global climate action - sparking investment, innovation, & reforms that would simply not have happened without it
