"While batteries, especially LIBs, are touted as a cornerstone of green energy transitions ..., the injustices of Nairobi's batteryscape reveal that ... batteries benefit most those who are already electrically privileged."

We have continued to track Israeli military conduct since the ceasefire came into effect on 19 January. Our analysis confirmed 16 attacks on civilians and multiple incidents in which urban and civilian infrastructure was destroyed between 19 January and 9 February. tinyurl.com/FA-ceasefire...

Anti-migrant hate is flourishing in Germany’s ‘time of the cowards’ | Musa Okwonga This weekend’s vote will show how far xenophobia has been driving even some traditionally progressive parties

Chilling read by @okwonga.bsky.social

"Far right’s xenophobia is not at the fringes of German society: it can be found in voices at its very centre"

Sozialdemokrat:innen und Grüne, deren Herz links schlägt, sollten dieses Mal die Linke wählen. Innerhalb ihrer Parteien stärken sie so Positionen, die über die vorauseilende Anbiederung an die CDU hinausgehen. Und der AfD schadet eine Stimme am effektivsten, wenn sie der Linken über die 5% hilft.

In personal news... This week, I submitted my dissertation on #watertanks, #jerrycans, and all kinds of #battery uses, arguing to take seriously the urban-infrastructural significance of minor #storage arrangements. Really grateful to everyone who has been part of this! #Nairobi #PhD

Falls Ihr irgendwen in #Lichtenberg kennt: Die müssen wählen gehen und sie müssen mit der Erststimme links wählen.

Erpresst sie, wenn sonst nichts hilft.

I made a starter pack of Human Geography Journals, for those of you (like me) for whom BSKY is a nice help in keeping up with the literature. Feel free to tip for me any journals I may have missed.

Wenn man inzwischen schon "links" ist, wenn man die gleiche Meinung hat wie Holocaust-Überlebende, Angela Merkel, die Kirchen und zahlreiche CDU-Mitglieder, die aus Protest die Partei verlassen haben, dann weiß man, wie weit rechts die Spitze der CDU inzwischen gerückt ist.

Fascist Germany is making a comeback. Voting for the CDU now means voting for the AfD.
