The interaction between the NHS & the care system is so difficult to navigate that its harming carers & those who need care; its exhausting carers (who often have to retell their medical histories again & again) to the point of burnout.

Although as yet only partly exposed to this (as the primary carer for my wife) I have already experienced the exhaustion of constantly having to go back to square one to explain to a new specialist what is going on....

The #UN University published their #InterconnectedRisks Report: It's a theory about how we can #change our world for sustainable living (and why it is possible): interconnectedrisks.org/

When I had the idea for my podcast about #ReconnectingWithNature, a lot of people laughed at it. Now I find this #mindshift again and even some #solarpunk ideas like #care, #humility, #sufficiency interconnectedrisks.org/2025/t Well, let's start to work on a better world, and fight this minority of destroyers! 1/2

We need a mindset change - from seeing nature as separate from humans, to seeing it as an integral part of our existence. Quote by UNU EHS

Coucou Mastodon,

Je migre doucement de mon Instagram jusqu'à vous, en profond désaccord avec les politiques d'utilisation Méta et les idéologies de ses détenteurs.

Jeune maman d'un petit mammifère auprès duquel j'apprends chaque jour et suite à notre déménagement de Dijon vers la Vallée, je prends le temps de redécouvrir mon corps, mon monde intérieur, la vie de campagne, ses cycles et ses saisons...

Australia is in an extinction crisis – why isn’t it an issue at this election?

"Over the past decade, more than 550 Australian species have been either newly recognised as at risk of extinction or moved a step closer to being erased from the planet."

"Analysis shows 1,964,200 hectares of koala habitat was cleared between 2012 and 2021 – 81% of that in Queensland."

"Australia tops global rankings for mammal extinction – at least 33 species have died out since European invasion and colonisation – and is number two behind Indonesia for loss of biodiversity. The challenge is not only to stop the loss of habitat but to restore the environment in places it has been lost in 250 years of European-driven clearing."

But Russian anarchist and scientist Pëtr Kropotkin had a different idea. After years observing wildlife in Siberia, he argued that mutual aid—not competition—is what ensures survival, resilience, and evolution.

This post kicks off my mutual aid series, exploring how solidarity and reciprocity can help us build equitable, sustainable communities outside capitalist logic.

#Smartphone and social media harms: why we failed in our duty of #care

"...Why has it taken a #Netflix show to focus minds and ignite interest in the serious consequences of social #media...?"

The BMJ · Smartphone and social media harms: why we failed in our duty of careThe Netflix series Adolescence is hard to escape. One of the judges at our South Asia Awards in Delhi last weekend told me that his family were gripped by the drama about a teenage schoolboy in England who, influenced by the “manosphere,” murders a female student.1 While the universally acclaimed series might have further explored the harms posed by the manosphere (doi:10.1136/bmj.p2947),2 it makes us confront some difficult issues, themes that resonate powerfully around the globe. One of these is smartphone use by children and the access it gives them to social media. Where should we stand on this? Many of us began by viewing social media and smartphones as a force for good. The benefits, we imagined, outweighed the harms. And perhaps that’s still true …
