130 years ago, on the 27th of November 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his last will and testament, using his estate to establish the Nobel Prize after his death. An unverified story suggests that Nobel changed his will after being labeled 'Merchant of Death' in a premature obituary. #otd #history 🗃️

Now that COP is over, rich countries can go back to not pretending. Until next COP when both them and their pet journalists can celebrate their climate leadership

Being chronically sick like this isn't some romanticized Hallmark movie plot. It's my life with debilitating chronic illnesses. DE-BIL-I-TAT-ING. Look the word up in a frigging dictionary.
STAT News: 'I have long Covid. Don’t call my chronic disease a ‘journey’

By Peter Swenson, professor emeritus, Yale University

'Like an estimated 20 million Americans, I have an incurable post-acute infection syndrome that goes by the name of long Covid...'

I have long Covid. Don’t call my chronic disease a ‘journey’
A “journey” is something you choose. No one chooses chronic illness.

Think this might be a little bit too intellectual and theory dense for Alex Hern of The Economist, but the format's good, he'll like the bright colours, he's got his bib on and a nice bowl of porridge at the re-education camp and is sat next to some Financial Times fellas, so here we go

After two weeks of #COP30 negotiations, countries agreed to BEGIN DISCUSSIONS on fossil fuel phase out. And as the article says, "they achieved this incremental progress only in the teeth of implacable opposition from oil-producing countries."

THIS is the problem with requiring unanimous decisions.

Wonderful to see this article about the Grief Centre on BBC News Bristol. It features two of our brilliant collaborators, Kat Lyons & Helen Acklam, who share their experiences of grief & how they turned to creativity to understand & process them:
