Why hasn't the United Nations condemned the U.S. attack on Iran, which breaks the U.N. Charter?
This is gravely alarming...

From Bilberry Leaves to Aspen Bark: Sensing Seasonal Shifts in Eco-Crip Time
open.substack.com/pub/commonsf...
May’s Commons Feast Virtual Monthly Meet-up is coming up next Tuesday, 20th, for anyone interested in foraging for wild foods, materials and/or medicines to share knowledge and collectively witness the seasons in landscapes, urban, rural or edgeland. Free, and all are welcome: tinyurl.com/5n6r65db
You wouldn't drink their spit - why would you breathe it?
When you look at the US and see easily-prevented infectious diseases getting out of control, oligarchs stealing everything that's not nailed down and a lot that is, and workers stomped into the mud - if you like what you see, then spend your money at Starbucks.
But if you don't - then don't.
🧵
🧵Confirmation via a friend: Starbucks will forbid employees from masking without a medical note.
Giant US-based MAGAcorp known for union-busting, actively preventing workers from protecting themselves and the public from known workplace health hazards?
Starbucks wants you infected.
👉 #Sickbucks 👈
US companies endangering Canadian workers must be put in their place. COVID is out of control, measles is spreading, bird flu up next - helped along by Starbucks' MAGA buddies.
When a politician comes doorknocking, ask them what they will do to protect workers from abusive employers like Starbucks.
Tomorrow, Tues 15 April 7-8pm BST will be next Commons Feast Virtual Monthly Meet Up -https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/commons-feast-virtual-monthly-meet-up-tickets-1312782520859?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl
None of this shit is going to get fixed by any of the people in charge right now. Do you get that yet?
Make no mistake: disability benefit cuts are a feminist issue
Women are more likely to be disabled, and often left undiagnosed or without the support they need for longer. It is also women who commonly bear the brunt of state underfunding.

The papers are crammed full of covid minimising articles with not one mention of anything coming out of the covid inquiry or the over 400 million suffering long covid. Or the hundreds of thousands still self shielding in the UK due to lack of drugs like pemgarda. The narrative is unbalanced.
I just wrote a @_teachthefuture letter: Ask your MP to submit a parliamentary question about net zero school buildings!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...
Take 2 mins to demand that Meta stop targeting you with creepy personalised ads and content!

I just signed the petition urging the Government to invest in research to help those suffering from Long Covid. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/in...
I have just posted March’s Commons Feast intro on my Substack, to prompt discussion at Tuesday’s event. It draws on companioning across species by way of Donna Haraway, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Michael Marder and Robin Harford/Eatweeds. It is free to read: commonsfeast.substack.com

At the moment the government are a primary cause of more people leaving the work force #cleantheair
.@greenpeace.org and @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social just lost $660M lawsuit from fossil fuel giant Energy Transfer for supporting peaceful protest.

An increase in pneumonia everywhere?Oh my goodness what a mystery. A rise in disability and excess death everywhere, what could it be? Rates of long Covid are significant and rising in everyplace that Covid is rampant, I dunno could be anything. Truly a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma
I stand in solidarity with all other #CovidCautious people who care about society & who still follow the science.

Next week, Tues 18 March is the next Commons Feast Virtual Monthly Meet-Up, 7-8 pm GMT. As spring awakes I’ve been thinking about friendship. The wise, loyal, and generous companions who regularly show up for you and return to visit when your winter feels like it will never end. tinyurl.com/ywhf9zc2
At Feb’s Commons Feast Virtual Monthly Meet-up up I focused my intro on herbal teas, drawing on Weed Day and Austrian Bergtee (mountain tea) Association project. Visit my Substack, Commons Feast & Other Ramblings, and/or sign up to receive the newsletter..
