"As a species, the challenges we face now are much more acute than those we faced ten years ago. Unspeakably, tragically, and needlessly more acute. This makes the work that we're doing here today, and that the Climate Museum does, all the more urgent." - Climate Museum founding director Miranda Massie

What role do culture and museums play in tackling the climate crisis? It was an honour to explore this question and more with the Climate Museum's founding Director, Miranda Massie, in our latest interview for Cultural Trends. Gift link below! 👇🏻

Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

The coffins of the Minab students are solemnly carried by the people.

Book cover based on stylised painted art of someone digging in a large pile of soil with a shovel.

All Floods Lead to Rome: Watery Repetitions of Resistance Against Empire Rana Abughannam, Émélie Desrochers-Turgeon, Karen Lutsky, Ozayr Saloojee, and Zoe Todd consider how imperialism in their homelands—from South Africa to Gaza to Turtle Island—are contemporary manifesta...

I'm really proud of this piece that we collectively wrote for C-Mag on refusing colonial possession. It is featured in their most recent issue.

All Floods Lead to Rome -- the violences we are facing today have a common origin in the muddy waters of Roman rule.

Mark Carney backs U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, calls for civilians to be protected "Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," the prime minister said in a statement Saturday.

Carney continues to be a voice of cowardice and fecklessness when it really matters. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

IDF: Israel has the right to defend itself.

Number of students killed in Israeli attack on school in southern Iran rises to 24 We have reported earlier that an Israeli strike hit an elementary girl’s school in Minab, a city in the Hormozgan province of southern Iran, killing five people. Now, Iran’s Fars news agency is reporting that the number of students killed rose to 24.

Unimaginably depraved.

Judge orders Greenpeace to pay $345m over Dakota Access pipeline protest Group says case far from over after being found liable for defamation and other claims brought by energy firm

Judge orders Greenpeace to pay $345m over Dakota Access pipeline protest

Belgian museum caught in row over millions of DR Congo records KoBold Metals and DR Congo are pushing a Brussels museum to release records that would help map valuable metals

Fascinating look at the tangled legacies of colonialism.

DRC wants colonial-era geological surveys so a Bill Gates-backed mining/AI firm can digitize them. The Belgian museum won't release them as it's already doing so.

Trump II is now applying pressure as part of its resource grab.

No good guys.

Where Would Contemporary Art Be Without Plastic? A new anthology on plastics in art reveals the philosophical conundrums and contradictions at the heart of a material the world relies on.

My university started sneaking "AI readiness" into faculty evaluation rubrics. Suggested reviewer language for spring post-tenure + contingent faculty review prompts reviewers to assess whether courses are "AI ready." We've had no shared governance discussion about this as far as I know+

Honoured to be cited in this and can't wait to read!

Scotiabank’s 1832 Asset Management sells last shares in Israeli military supplier Elbit Bank faced criticism for investment, including high-profile protests at the Giller Prize

Incredible victory! After years of organizing across Canada, Scotia Bank has divested from Elbit Systems!

Elbit is Israel's largest weapons company, arming the occupation and genocide of Palestine.
