I'm finding it a little hard to work today with this in my head.

Antarctic ice extent is now 6.4 standard deviations below the mean. That is, I'm reliably told, a one in 13 billion year event.

We're about to see a lot of shit hit a lot of fans. And we are far from ready.

Business as usual is over. Politics as usual is over. We need to be putting our effort into building systems that can help us survive what greed and power and wilful blindness have wrought.

I decided this weekend to leave Twitter/X behind. I'm not deleting my account, but I'm not going to post my work or ideas there anymore.

There's no amount of clicks, likes, or retweets that can make up for the fact that merely using the platform is now helping directly fund bigots, rapists, and conspiracy mongers through Twitter's revenue sharing program.

As a journalist who cares about my community and our shared future, that's a red line for me. If you're here, I suspect it is for you too.

Apply!!! If you need to chat about the Andaman & Nicobar Islands or bounce project ideas off, feel free to get in touch. The islands need more research, & there is much that remains to be discovered & discussed.
