Having joined Twitter 14 years ago, my time here has come to an end. I’ve been massively scaling back from posting here, except for course-related tweets. These will stop the end of November. I am connecting on Mastadon and LinkedIn now.

🚨Leaked Israeli drone footage shows how Israel bombed 5 *clearly unarmed* civilians into pieces in Khan Younis in broad daylight as they walked through their destroyed neighbourhood The drone shows how each of them was fully unarmed before they were bombed anyways

My soul aches every time I share these horrific genocidal pronouncements. But we must keep sharing. The world needs to know how normalized this hateful murderous sentiment is in Israel. The world needs to stop this.

"Therefore, if the children of Gaza are forced to starve, to live in sewage pipes, and to eat moldy bread, I don't care, let this happen." An Israeli journalist says it is okay for Israel to starve Gaza's children to death so long as there are Israeli prisoners in the enclave.

#Food is the most powerful action in the hands of every household on the planet. And in particular, all those above the 50th percentile (and certainly the top 10%), who both waste food, and eat too much meat! #sustainability #transformation

⏳Just 2 months to #COP28, a clash of realities looms: #Fossilfuels, responsible for 75% of GHG #emissions, take center stage. Will the battleground words be 'phase down' or 'phase out'? The reality? Rapid transition to #renewableenergy is the only credible path #Endfossilfuels
