I highly recommend this training for anyone interested in making their local parks and green spaces safer for women and girls!

The training is fabulous and evidence-backed! We found it reduced barriers to intervention and improved confidence in specific intervention skills.

This sounds amazing! Can I join in? Becca.brunk@gmail.com

Wore this bleach-painted T-shirt around London last week, created by the talented @aroomwithaviewart.bsky.social.

I asked for the phrase, “the future is queer” because a sustainable, dynamic future grounded in queer ecology is what I sincerely hope we eventually find our way to. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈💕

Thanks Roger! ☺️ would be great to catch up soon!

This paper examines how 30 English universities understand and talk about sexual harassment, and critically analyses how the impact on victims, images of the perpetrator, and power dynamics are presented in their policies.

I am ecstatic to be able to share the publication of my first paper from my thesis with everyone!

Also I am incredibly pleased that our work with @hydeparksource.bsky.social and @leedscitycouncil.bsky.social on community use of public land for climate resilience received this excellent spotlight article!

I’m proud to have contributed to this call for evidence with @annabarker.bsky.social and her wonderful colleagues on how green spaces can be made safer and more accessible for women and girls. We all deserve to be able to connect with nature without risking our physical and emotional safety.

A lovely post highlighting the impact even a small island can have on the UK's biodiversity - exactly why the Climate and Nature Bill needs to pass through parliament, so we can bring back Britain's lost biodiversity!

Neat opportunity alert 🚨

Just took the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam to avoid flying on holiday and let me tell you - it was amazing! It was romantic! It was delicious! I am obsessed. Bring back slow travel.

This is neat, and makes a great point about the value of #communities and #placebasedresearch in #decarbonising our work to take better care of our planet.

A university’s place should be in their city and local communities.

Thanks for the lovely shoutout @envleeds.bsky.social! PIP is a really interesting programme to work on, and I appreciate the opportunity to centre grassroots knowledge, and environmental justice and community organising in my work for a just sustainable transition of Leeds. 🌳🏙

I’ve been interested in #solarpunk for a little while now and was curious what has been written about it academically! This has been a great read, anyone have any follow up suggestions for me? Any other solar punk nerds out there using this in their #utopia research?

Listening to @naomiaklein.bsky.social’s ‘Doppleganger’ discussion of perfection and purity in the far right makes me feel like we are in the ‘humanity becomes the Borg’ timeline rather than the ‘humanity becomes the federation’ timeline. 🙃

Thank you! 👍🏻

I’m increasingly convinced that the love that powers long term climate action grows out of all the time we spend doing the things we love, in the places we love, with the people we love.

Without that, what are we fighting for?

Thanks for making this! Can I also be added to the list?

I spent my afternoon at #GairWood helping to protect nearly 175 baby trees from hungry deer. It was so lovely and satisfying!
