Dear everyone, I started a newsletter! You may read it and subscribe to it via Substack or my blog (links to follow). I plan to publish my newsletter about work in and for socio-ecological transformations every two to three weeks. I'll let you know about it here as well.

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.
Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!
We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Kehitys kehittyy Euroopassa. Puola turkistarhauksen kieltämisen tiellä. Suomi kohtaa viimeisiä takapajuloita? Kauanko veronmaksajien rahoja Suomessa tuhlataan?
EU:n suurimman turkistuottajamaan Puolan parlamentti äänesti turkistarhauskiellon puolesta selvällä äänten enemmistöllä! Kielto tarvitsee vielä parlamentin ylähuoneen hyväksynnän ja presidentin allekirjoituksen, mutta kiellon läpimenoa pidetään lähes varmana.

The fact that the most thorough and technologically advanced genocide of our time, the rise of fascism & destruction of US academia, are all being justified under the umbrella of opposing antisemitism is not just a heinous trick of history. It means something quite profound.

Microplastics damage plants' ability to photosynthesize. According to a new estimate, 4-14% of global production of staple crops like wheat is being lost due to microplastics. Other stuff too.
