@theanimaltalent @india_bourke @Jojo_Mehta @AimeTim Thanks for linking me in! I'll give it some thought. @bridgetmck may also have answers.

Journo request: am in discussions with vet about when to put down my elderly & fading cat, & was shocked today to be told he "wasn't a person". I know she was trying to reassure, but especially in light of my work on environment & climate change that framing feels so wrong...1/2

@BedwasEdit Colette's The Blue Lantern - but that might be a bit niche 😉
English
I'm in the middle of deciding on a new business name and I'd like some feedback please.
If I was to include the words 'Blue Lamp' in my name, in terms of genre, what associations would you make with that?
English
@EkstamJane @rwclimate @parents4future @ECOWARRIORSS @PHellermann @orridge_anna With climate, it's already too late for huge numbers of organisms, humans included, whether because they've died from climate impacts already or
because they will do from impacts already set in motion. It's about damage limitation now. Which is still life-affirming, in its way.
English
@rwclimate @SallyMossEd @parents4future @ECOWARRIORSS @PHellermann @orridge_anna I'd want everyone to land safely but once the fire is going, it's almost - but not quite - too late. But perhaps not everyone will be saved?
English
@wblau Would you name any existing news organisations as good role models for others, please?
English
What if news organisations would no longer view climate change only as 'a topic' they need to 'cover' better but rather as the systemic context of everything else that happens?
English
@EkstamJane Well, thank you very much, Jane ☺️ Though I suggest all the credit for the results goes to you!
English
@SallyMossEd
I can warmly recommend Sally, for her excellent editorial skills and for the care she takes to ensure that we achieve the best possible results!
English
@AliceWolff15 I'd read that! Congratulations and best of luck for the process 🙂
English
@EkstamJane Thanks for that, Jane. Sounds interesting 😊
English
@SallyMossEd Congratulations, Sally! 'Giving' is an interesting issue. Much of what we do today is 'taking', especially taking from the environment. I am currently reading Amitav Gosh's 'The Nutmeg's Curse. Parables for a Planet in Crisis.' The nutmeg is a perfect metaphor for taking.
English
@lukefinleyedit I agree. For me, books are made to be read and circulated rather than hoarded and admired. I say that in full knowledge of how tempting it is to hoard & admire them! (And in full knowledge that an itinerant life has shoved me over to e-books - which mostly can't be circulated...)

@MaliniDevadas Spent a day learning to steer a narrowboat up and down a beautiful stretch of canal - turning, passing, mooring up and so on. For someone who normally spends most of her hours at a screen or just taking a walk on solid ground, this was a stretch - but a good one 😊
English
@SallyMossEd This is so interesting and encouraging to see. Bookmarked!
English
@EditorSpice Decarbonisation can seem dry at first - but then we remember that everything we are and love depends on this process of change, and that does put a new slant on things! Might as well bring all of ourselves, including our imaginations and our funny bones, to the challenge.
English
@nancycampbelle Wow, so glad you're through that and back with us, Nancy. Wishing you all health and strength ❤️
English
@MaliniDevadas I feel the same but can rarely keep my gob shut for long, so on I plough 😉 #Scouser #solidarity
English
@orridge_anna Ha, that idea sounds like a goer 😁 Anything that channels #TheDetectorists is all right by me 👍
English
@SallyMossEd I remember having quite a nice discussion along these lines a while ago :)
The thread as a whole is worth a look too.

@alicebell @annajanejoyner I particularly like the Greenpeace sitcom idea. I think the politics of small activist/community groups are incredibly fertile ground for comedy. A bit like Detectorists, but with homemade placards and truly awful community engagement ideas involving interpretive dance.
English
It's very interesting to me to see the full spectrum of opinions on the late night US comedy evening on climate change. Is it belittling? Is it the perfect way to get people to engage without frightening or alienating them?
I'm honestly not sure.
English
@orridge_anna This makes some good points and covers some good examples: cbsnews.com/news/climate-c… See also this tweet by @maxboykoff for a few useful contacts in this area: twitter.com/maxboykoff/sta…
Max Boykoff@maxboykoff
this is cool. It's important many of us are studying & experimenting with how comedy & climate change can meaningfully mix: follow @CatyBC @amybree @lfeldman17 @chucknicecomic @osnesb @skurka_chris @MaxLiboiron @TDiLiberto @RollieWilliams @ClimateAdam & @PeterMcGraw among others.
English
@orridge_anna I think *not* doing comedy about climate is a form of denial. Climate breakdown is tragic, but climate *action* and cultural shift are absolutely the kind of messy human endeavours that call for comedy. Comedy (done well) teaches us about absurdity, helps us stay sane, and more.
English
@SallyMossEd @The_CIEP This is important work indeed. And I couldn't agree more with your statement, 'what keeps me going is the knowledge that nature is powerful: every positive contribution will harness a profound regenerative force. So let’s see what we can do!' Thank you, Sally

Living with chronic pain #CRPS means you can miss what acute pain is trying to tell you, result being 16 hrs in a&e. I'm so grateful to the @NHS staff who work non stop & were still so kind @LivHospitals 🙏.ps can you change those chairs though😵💫😆
English
@SSProofreading Same here! It was great to be in on some sessions live, but I'll be savouring the rest over the next few weeks. #CIEP2021
English
Due to other commitments I was unable to attend many of the CIEP conference sessions. I’m looking forward to watching the recordings later on. From my Twitter feed it looks like I’m in for a treat! #CIEP2021
