[NEW OPEN POSITION] ❓ “How many homes do you think lie empty in England? Hundreds? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands?” Most students answer somewhere in that range. 🏡 Current estimates indicate that between 1 and 1.5 million homes in England - including second homes not in residential use - stand empty. ‼️ If you’re committed to #impactful research and want to work at the intersection of housing justice, systems dynamics modelling, and degrowth, join me at King’s ‼️ Apply for a fully funded PhD position under my supervision. 🤝 You will play an active role in building new collaborations and engaging with a range of stakeholders, including Action on Empty Homes, a leading organisation that has spent decades working to bring empty properties back into residential use. Open to #home and #international students.

Late capitalism's dangerous endgame has a body count.
⁠
The mantra of growth is failing us. Not because we haven't tried hard enough. But because it's built on broken promises.⁠
⁠
In his blog for @instituteofartandideas, CUSP co-director @ProfTimJackson points to another economics that views prosperity as health + economy as care.

17 parole che forse non tutti conoscono ma che è necessario sapere per fare un coraggioso passo in avanti.

Il video di @timparrique è al momento solo su YouTube però merita di essere visto e ascoltato.

È un grido per avere il coraggio di passare ai fatti dopo decenni di parole.

Si può fare, già si fa.

I do some bits with the IDN (International Degrowth Network) and they have recently launched their 2026 Degrowth Events Fund.

If you're a degrowth-aligned organisation you can apply for up to €1,000 via their grant - they have €15,000 to share (last year they supported around 13 org's!).

There are a few small requirements (eg you need to be a partner of the IDN but it is easy to apply).

For more info, and to apply, visit: https://www.degrowth.network/our-work/degrowth-events-fund/2026-degrowth-events-fund/

…I’ve been saying quite often on here that Europe consumes about 5 times more oil than it produces. When I drop that into energy-blind threads on here it’s mostly ignored.

But not only will that reality not go away, when we factor in natural gas as well as oil, the picture is substantially worse. And that’s before our LNG contracts got set on fire by Trump and Netanyahu.

#postGrowth is what we’re choosing. #degrowth is what we need

"Post-growth transformation faces categorically different barriers than growth-oriented scenarios. While post-growth will encounter stronger socio-cultural and political opposition from affluent classes and pro-capitalist actors who would see diminished power, it faces weaker geophysical and technological feasibility concerns by decreasing demand for energy, materials, and land."
