Request Solarpunk at the Library
I’m a huge fan of distributed action: a lot of people doing a thing in a lot of places can have huge impact, even if each action seems small.

Quite a bit of research on how tourists/ignorant eyes think bleached white (ie often dead/dying) reefs are “prettier”
Reminds me of this August 2015 Tweet from Rupert Murdoch opining that the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) looked fine to him (at a time of debate about the prospect of a coral bleaching event that summer)
Mass bleaching events since Aug 2015 affecting the GBR: 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022, 2024 and 2025.

“Where are the sanctions? The expulsion of Israeli ambassadors? The suspension of arms shipments? The closure of embassies? There is nothing, because this outrage is not genuine.” Stop falling for the rhetoric. Look at their actions. open.substack.com/pub/sakr/p/r...

What blows my mind is the candid disclosure of Israel bombing densely populated areas for more than 14 hours a day until now.
Israel is halting the bombardment of densely populated parts of Gaza for 10 hours a day, as it yields to international pressure to let more aid into the war-ravaged strip.

Just in case you missed this, this was the first week back in Parliament. It’s revealing to see what motivates @albomp.bsky.social’s government to act. The PM has released yet another statement today about Israel, but again no actual sanctions.

If the media were better they wouldn’t be saying “your plan is great Ken”.
They’d be asking if “nature positive” actually means anything. And have offsets worked literally anywhere? And why try to privatise conservation efforts rather than simply funding them?
