For the sleepless, hunted by worries or hurts, it is such a strange feeling when early in the morning, before dawn, birds start singing. How hard nature tries to just go on as if normal, with no worry in the world, as it has always done, no matter how badly we humans have screwed this planet up.

Passionate about social justice, climate change. Multilingual and multicultural born global nomad turned sedentary. Trying to plod forward global development studies at Helsinki university. Slowed down by neurodiversity and life.
Edessä ensimmäinen lentomatka 8 vuoteen (kohteeseen ei pääse muilla keinoin, eikä kyse ole lomasta). Lentoyhtiön tarjoama päästöjen hyvitys on huuhaata, joten mihin voi osoittaa sen summan sen sijaan? Joskus olen nähnyt tästä keskustelua, muttei ollut silloin ajankohtaista joten en muista.
Randahl FinkLast week I went snowboarding in Zell am See, Austria, which is always a spectacular experience. However, this year got me worried. The first thing I noticed was, the lake was not frozen as usual. The pistes were warmer than I have ever experienced. I went to the top of Schmittenhöhe, and I kid you not: I saw butterflies. Your read that right: Newly hatched butterflies at 2000 meters in february. It felt surreal.
If climate change is a hoax, I can report, the butterflies are in on it.

A suggestion to NATO: swap Hungary and Turkey for Sweden and Finland.

Erin KissaneThis is by far the most cogent explanation of wtf is going on in the House that I’ve read to date.
Essentially, the rebels expect to govern as a vital coalition partner to the GOP, with veto power over all House business. Lots of context about underlying political alliances, so much more useful than another ~take.

Sabaheta Ramčilović-SuominenPainful to follow the debate on sinking #forest #carbon #sinks in #Finland. Main position: cut the old forest &plant new!
#Forests are much more than C sinks, they are life itself. They've evolved and adapted just like you and me. They belong.
They are home to many. You destroy forest, you destroy them. Significant portion of 🌳goes to #bioenergy, releasing C back to atmosphere.
If you really want to mitigate #climate, start by cutting down #consumption & #emissions.

Tuomas TammistoVandals destroy 30 000 year old cave art of #Koonalda Cave, a sacred site of the Mirning, on Nullabor Plain in South #Australia.
The damage done to the art is irreversible. This follows the destruction of the 46 000 year old site at the #JuukanGorge by mining company Rio Tinto in 2020.
The destruction of ancient sites is but one of the many forms of #racism the indigenous Australians are subjected to.
I feel like crying.
