‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

Dr Luke Kemp’s book ‘Goliath’s Curse’ is a must read for anyone interested in the consequences of too much inequality in the world.

It’s Birth Trauma Awareness Week. This year, we focus on marginalised groups facing extra barriers in maternity care, from racial disparities to challenges faced by disabled and neurodivergent mothers. Let’s listen. Let’s learn. Let’s do better. #GoodMaternityCareforAll #BTAW25

Are we reaching endgame capitalism? So much global wealth inequality - has anyone stopped to think how this all ends? The march for more, effects the environment but ordinary people too as the rich/poor divide becomes greater. There must be better ways of living not based on wealth accumulation.

The Felling of the U.S. Forest Service The Trump Administration has cut two thousand workers, making it harder for the service to fight wildfires and repair storm damage across the country.

“My community has been gutted. The trail crew, wilderness crew, timber crew. We truly care for this resource we’ve been protecting. You have to be standing there to understand the beauty of it & how delicate it is.”

On Trump's felling of the US Forest Service.

Let’s not forget the unseen and often undervalued work that parents do raising the next generation. For something so important and essential for our humanity it is given so little acknowledgment, recognition and support.

Mums - we see your hard work balancing life, work and children!
