in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Does anyone on here know who’s working on small-scale (ideally solar-powered) desalination technology?
Are there examples of this working, particularly in tough contexts like informal settlements/slums?

Diana Fox Carney was so generous with her time last week, coming to Waterloo to offer the keynote that kicked off our TRANSFORM project’s final symposium. She was frank, nuanced, and compelling. I was able to pepper her with questions during our “fireside chat” - a highlight of the week for me!

Final moments before a much anticipated keynote address by Diana Fox Carney tonight in Waterloo, kicking off our TRANSFORM symposium.

I’m hosting a community-engaged symposium in September that’s the culmination of a 7-year long multi-country project on sustainability experiments… and I’m SO PSYCHED about the keynote speaker who will launch the event.
(It’s a big secret until we launch our registration but I’m all giddy)

Does anyone know if there is a version of Bloomberg’s “What’s really warming the world?” animation that can be shared/downloaded and embedded in a presentation?? It all seems to be stuck behind paywalls.

Wrapping up a super intense week in Mombasa, working on the @ipcc.bsky.social Special Report on Climate Change and Cities.

I’d love to understand patterns like this is academic paper titling. Different journals, different years, and I didn’t enter “mediating role” into my search. So weird.
