"Such technofixes for the climate, in fact, lead us down a dangerous road, both because they displace far safer and more reliable options—namely the clean energy transition—and because they provide an excuse for business-as-usual burning of fossil fuels."

Some of you may remember when plants started springing back to life in the new Don River mouth, but this article dives deeper: discovery of a micro resurgence of life since those plants sprouted. American chestnut pollen, a seed from the 1500s, remains of peat bogs, worms, larvae and zooplankton.

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books
Title: Why do you want the book to be banned? A cartoon with ten panels showing people answering: 1. I read the book and hated it. 2. I didn't read the book, but I still hate it. 3. I hate books! 4. I love banning things! 5. I could not relate to the characters. 6. I'm not sure, but better safe than sorry? 7. My copy arrived damaged. 8. It could fall into the hands of a child. 9. It could fall on to the head of a child. 10. I didn't understand the ending.

Assata Shakur exchanged letters with Audre Lorde from prison, and Lorde wrote for her the poem "For Assata":

I dream of your freedom
as my victory
and the victory of all dark women
who forego the vanities of silence

👇Here's the whole poem
For Assata New Brunswick Prison, 1977 In this new picture your smile has been to war you are almost obscured by other faces on the pages those shadows are sisters who have not yet spoken your face is in shadow obscured by the half-dark by the thick bars running across your eyes like sentinels all the baby fat has been burned away like a luxury your body let go reluctantly the corners of your mouth turn down I cannot look into your eyes who are all those others behind you the shadows are growing lighter and more confusing. I dream of your freedom as my victory and the victory of all dark women who forego the vanities of silence who war and weep sometimes against our selves in each other rather than our enemies falsehoods Assata my sister warrior Joan of Arc and Yaa Asantewa embrace at the back of your cell. By Audre Lorde Assata gesturing and smiling

White text on a black background that reads: The Privilege of Guilt Do you hear them? The cries of the innocent Begging for mercy Does it ignite rage in you As their homes crumble Reduced to smoke That chokes skies and lungs Or is it quiet relief you feel That it is them And not us Do you pretend all is well? Swiping past the horrors Idly wondering When will it stop? Too weak to weep As they waste away We shrug and say What can we do? The brave few were Vilified for raising their voices When others couldn’t But can powerlessness Really be an excuse When humanity is withering Before our eyes Condemned by greed Our guilt will not save them As we wonder When will it stop? It Must Stop
