#SolidarischesPreppen ist alternativlos: "Der Sturm #Darragh hat mir gezeigt, wie unvorbereitet wir auf Katastrophen sind. Nach nur 12 Stunden ohne Strom waren wir isoliert, & mit der Tatsache konfrontiert, dass unser Leben prekärer ist, als es scheint."

Storm Darragh showed me how unprepared my family – and Britain – are for disaster | Gaby Hinsliff

After just 12 hours without power, we were cold, isolated and facing the fact that everyday life is far more precarious than it seems, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

How did a Pacific island classroom thought experiment lead to the US at the Hague answering @rregenvanu.bsky.social that their negligence wasn't just unfortunate but unlawful? @loesvandijk.bsky.social & I spoke w climate expert Elisabeth Holland, who taught at the school when the idea was hatched.

Seen lots of snide commentary that Simon Stiell, UNFCCC exec director, gave a "very long" speech at the gavel of #COP29. So I checked. Without prejudice to opinions about its content or the outcome of the talks, the f'ng speech was 6 minutes. Six minutes. Our brains are so broken.

Gah. We're very sorry. We think you look great but we will be clearer in future. If you'd like us to take it down we're happy to do so - we haven't put it on YouTube and we're happy to not do that if you'd prefer. Again, we apologise for the misunderstanding we caused.

Was going to bitch about @podsaveamerica.bsky.social having ads from BP on their UK feed and then listened to my own feed from ACAST and noticed the glass house I was in. Is it climate-related? Not especially. But almost quit my nearly-first job for opting out of gambling client. Which is there. :-(
