Whatever you do, don't waste your precious minutes reading Franzen's piece in the @NewYorker. But DO read these instead. They're all filed in my mind folder "Climate Wise." /thread
This essay made me an insane @DrKateMarvel fan girl – and thus utterly giddy when I finally met here this year. Courage, my friends, COURAGE. /2

In this piece, @amywestervelt gets to the heart of why we *must* have fresh voices to imagine and realize transformation. And dammit why aren't they getting heard. And dammit that'll make you mad. /3 popula.com/2019/08/19/the…
I find I've never had a Donella Meadows refresher recently enough. Leverage Points – they are everything, or at least a helluva lot. /4 donellameadows.org/wp-content/use…
As long as we're in throwback mode, why not read Eunice Newton Foote's groundbreaking 1856 article on heat-trapping effects of carbon dioxide? Yep, that was before Johnny Tyndall. /5 archive.org/stream/mobot31…
This book by Sherri Mitchell @sacred411 is simply stunning. Read it and learn from her live-and-in-person any chance you get. She's a phenomenal teacher. /6

It's impossible to pick a favorite @MaryHeglar piece, so just go wild with her Medium library. /7

Every time I turn around, @bethsawin has posted something on Twitter that is exactly what I need to hear. Take a ramble through her posts, and you'll find all sorts of gems. /8
How about some super wisdom in audio form? @VarshPrakash in conversation with @ezraklein is so so good. /9

I thought @nikkicsilvestri was magnificent on @Importantnotimp. Was thrilled to learn about her work. /10

After scooping it up from the bookstore yesterday, @binajv's new book is now in my grubby little hands – and it should be in yours too. Post haste. /11

How about some fantastic takes from artists on patriarchy and the planet? This curation right here, digitized for all to enjoy. /12 manmadedisaster.art
Lyla June Johnston's poetry and music – so beautiful and powerful. /13 sodizin.net/niacute322tsaa…
Because I have – get this – some writing on climate to finish today, I'll leave this list here for now. But it's actually so much longer. There's climate insight, heart, vision, wisdom *galore* to take in. Hope we'll start to see more of it in lights, for the sake of life. /end
@DrKateMarvel Ahem *her. See, still too giddy to type right.

I want to be very clear: shining a light on the misogyny women face—in climate action or elsewhere—is not “disenfranchising men.” Quite the opposite. Thread👇
Patriarchy and toxic masculinity ALSO HURT MEN. Healing them is good for all. Don’t take my word for it. These men have taught me a great deal...

Do you know about RESTORATIVE OCEAN FARMING? You should. Because these 3D underwater gardens are amazing for jobs, food, climate, biodiversity, equity. Also #OYSTERS. /thread/
Bren Smith (new book: “Eat Like a Fish”) was forced to shift from fisherman to ocean farmer after collapse of cod stocks. 30K people thrown out of work over night. “Ecological crisis is a kitchen table issue.” /2/
How to “keep job that people write songs about?” Easy: ASK THE OCEAN what it makes sense to grow. Turns out, there are 1000s of edible ocean plants. Like KELP. 100s of species of shellfish. Like MUSSELS. Instead of depleting oceans they restore them. #photosynthesis /3/

It’s been a hard couple weeks to be a woman living in the American South and working on climate change. THREAD. 1/13
On the planet front, the atmosphere is now choked with 415 parts per million of carbon dioxide—conditions the human species has never before faced. Earth hasn’t either, for roughly the last 3 million years. 2/13

Who knew? #ExxonKnew. Yes, they knew where we were headed back in 1982, the year before I was born. Makes Big Tobacco seem like child’s play. 3/13

@WrongDoc
This shitty piece was published by @ThePrintIndia written by @nandita_singh1 and shared by @ShashiTharoor
Let’s talk about it a bit. #Thread theprint.in/india/vigilant…
First, by claiming ‘vigilantism’ in Frankfurt the reporter is suggesting that rule of law has failed in Germany. @CGIFrankfurt might want to make an official stand on this claim.
It’s an insult not just to Indian consulate but also to Germany.
This ‘comedian’ had tried to spread some fake news and no doubt @NH_India also tried to push the fake news story and later deleted it.

#Thread #Kurukshetra #Analytics #Mahabharata
Started a fun project of mine today. Recording the duels of Kurukshetra war in an excel sheet in anticipation of some interesting pattern. Watch this space for interesting tidbits. Full exercise may take quite a while
Interesting Results! #Kurukshatra #Analytics. So many duels without a declared result on Day One
Could record two general battles and 26 duels on Day One. Only 6 of those duels ended decisively. Pandava side suffered horribly in the hands of Bhishma. Uttara killed in the hands of Shalya. Saving grace being Abhimanyu countering Bhishma and winning over Brihadbala #Kurukshetra

Good morning!

I have a gist for those of you who are not from kwara but love to see, hear and share your views about kwara and Kwarans. Importantly Kwarans living in diaspora.

To start with, @bukolasaraki is the Nigeria's Senate President and not the kwara Governor.

#Thread
@AbdulfataAhmed is the Governor of kwara State NOT Saraki as popularly portrayed by people outside kwara.

Fatai, was elected as the Governor, under the @OfficialPDPNig in 2011. He's enjoyed his own good, bad and the ugly days in office as the 001 of Kwara..

#FataiAhmedIsAScam
Though, there's been some speculations surrounding his ineptitude to perform well as the Governor due to his loyalty to his Godfather Saraki. However, we've seen a lot of power play in Nigeria politics of Godfatherism but that should still not be an excuse for a good governance

PRESS RELEASE BY PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI
CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION

IF THE SYSTEM WERE TO BE WORKING BEFORE PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI TOOK OVER IN 2015, ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR WOULD BE IN JAIL BY NOW INSTEAD OF CONTESTING FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

#Thread
Our attention has been drawn to a statement credited to the Presidential Candidate of @OfficialPDPNig, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar disputing the assertion by @MBuhari that the system in Nigeria allows corruption to thrive because the system is slow in tackling corruption. - @fkeyamo
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar further blamed President Muhammadu Buhari for perceived failure in addressing some instances of ‘corrupt practices’ under his watch. - @fkeyamo
