A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world.

But the accelerating nature crisis is unraveling ecosystems, threatening all life on Earth.

Here, broken down into a thread, is a copy of my last post on X.
1. This is my farewell post. I am not deleting this account, as I don’t want to lose the archive, and I don’t want my name taken by imposters. But, for as long as Musk owns the platform, I’ll no longer use it.

I use @shannonvallor.bsky.social's metaphor of mirror: generative so-called #AI not "intelligent", & not creative. The rush to employ it risks entrenching discrimination & disasters of current society.
At least Lord Vallance shows less boosterism & more realism than many government ministers

Feminism isn’t about hating men-it’s about DISMANTLING INEQUALITY that HARMS ALL GENDERS while EMPOWERING WOMEN & GIRLS.

Men can play a VITAL ROLE by supporting equality, challenging stereotypes & advocating for change. With KINDNESS & EDUCATION, we can UNITE for GENDER EQUALITY
