Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

We're launching our first ever fundraiser!

We have many amazing projects planned, and your support, no matter the amount, would ensure we can fully realize our vision of providing Kurdish literature with the platform it deserves.

Visit our fundraiser page: secure.givelively.org/donate/henar...

The Ghosts of Ingeborg Bachmann Haunted by a dark past, the poet and novelist tried to explore the limits of language itself.

Good to see Ingeborg Bachmann in The Nation:

Je länger der russisch-ukrainische Krieg dauert, desto mehr Vorfälle wie in Polen wir sehen werden. Russland wird die EU und den Westen weiterhin Schritt für Schritt austesten. Es muss unverändert viel mehr unternommen werden, um Moskau zur Einstellung seines Angriffskrieges zu bringen.

Pangolins are one of the most trafficked animals in the world — and in decline.

The USFWS proposed to protect #pangolins under the ESA, a move that would firmly and finally close any U.S. market in these gravely imperiled animals.

When I get depressed about the magnitude of the climate crisis I visit the Cal ISO website to take a peek at what we were told in no uncertain terms by Very Important People was impossible just a decade ago.

At least eight gray whales have been killed by probable ship strikes so far in 2025 — and that's just in the Bay Area. It doesn't have to be like this.

We're launching a new lawsuit to help protect them from ship strikes in California. Learn more: biodiv.us/46uGlBf

‘Point of no return’ — Ukraine’s democracy under threat as new bill guts anti-corruption efforts "Dark times ahead." "Peak of corruption." "Point of no return."

Ukrainian society sounded a code red for the country's democracy on July 22, as the final votes were tallied on a bill in Ukraine's parliament that strips independence from anti-corruption bodies.

Win-win for the fossil fuel industry. AI drives both higher supply and higher demand (through vast energy needs of new hyper-scale data centres).

But Altman says it will 'fix the climate', somehow, so don't worry about it.

North Atlantic right whales are among the world's most endangered whale species. Only around 370 individuals remain.

Yet President Trump is considering slashing federal rules that protect North Atlantic right whales from the leading causes of their decline.

The dangers of sitting: why sitting is the new smoking The less sitting or lying down you do during the day, the better your chances for living a healthy life.

At school, we were repeatedly instructed to "sit still", and this became embedded in our lives as a cardinal virtue. We now know that sitting still is highly damaging to our health. Perhaps it's time we told children to do the opposite.

Copies of The Queen of Swords and Fox displayed on a scarf adorned with foxes. The Queen of Swords from Two Lines is one of my favorite books of 2025. Out in November. Fox from Open Letter is one if my all time favorite/I'd take it to a desert island books.

A screenshot of the letter sent to a small press terminating their NEA funding.

Last night a number of small presses including @twolinespress.bsky.social and @openletterbooks.bsky.social received this insane letter.
Please read small press books, recommend them, buy them, request from your library. The continuation of these publishers is vital!

The Trump administration issued a proposed rule that would rescind nearly all habitat protections for endangered species nationwide.

You can't protect animals and plants from extinction without protecting the places they live.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."

But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

I drew this picture of Golden Domed St Michael’s when I was in Kyiv in 2022. Ukrainians had turned the square in front into a graveyard for Russian tanks.

Greenpeace must pay hundreds of millions over Dakota pipeline protests, says jury Non-profit said in statement lawsuits like this aimed at ‘destroying the right to peaceful protest’

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The single most important laboratory in climate science, the tool that is telling us the story of our time, is now in the MAGA crosshairs. Not surprising. But sad, stupid, and tragic in the saddest and stupidest and most tragic way.

Here's a major source of microplastics in soils.
Other sources, astonishingly, include the *deliberate application* of microplastics, to make soils more friable, and the plastic pellets in which many fertilisers are encased.
It is simply crazy and must stop now.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

It's a super stressful time because a lot of what Trump is doing makes the world way more chaotic and dangerous, which is already becoming more chaotic and dangerous because of climate change.
