J.K. Rowling could have kept quiet, banked her billions and stayed everyone's favourite author. She didn't. She put her name, her reputation and her own money on the line for women. She founded Beira's Place, a women-only centre in Edinburgh for survivors of sexual violence. She has funded legal fights to protect women's rights and women-only spaces. And she has given a voice to women who were too scared to speak. For that she has faced years of death threats, rape threats and torture threats. She hasn't flinched once. That's not just a literary legend. That's a hero for women everywhere. 👏🇬🇧

Nobody ever has denied the climate has changed in the past. But never has it changed this fast.. when 10 000 years of relative climatic stability was the foundation of agriculture and human civilisations supporting over 8.3 billion people. How the current climate shift will impact that state is what you should be analysing.

Join the call for Australia’s media companies to stand together by refusing to cover One Nation events until the access issue is resolved. Media companies should be insisting that One Nation accepts the attendance of ALL accredited journalists, not just the ones it perceives as unquestioning or supportive. We need a robust liberal democracy ... not a Trumpian perversion. abcfriends.au/actions/boycot…

No. No hope. Just slower deforestation & degradation. Lula will of course do nothing about population growth and embraces endless economic growth.
Geoffrey Lean@GeoffreyLean23h
What a relief! Lula’s unexpected victory gives hope for the Amazon. He has dramatically cut felling, while Bolsonaro’s plans would doubtless have taken it past its tipping point, ensuring total eventual destruction with huge global consequences. euronews.com/2026/10/19/amaz…

Deforestation fell almost 42% in a year, but a possible change in president could reverse the trend.

GDP measures everything except things that matter for humans, like clean air/water, a healthy ecosystem, and access to places for quiet contemplation.
Sustainable Pop Aus
@SustPopAusOct 25
Population growth can boost GDP- but that does NOT mean it's good for the "economy" when you analyse it from a resilience, sustainability & per capita outcome perspective. The idea that GDP adequately reflects the state of the economy/the nation is a seriously bad one.
