@MJHaugen RIP Flaco

“Each one of us, ontologically speaking, is next to nothing.” Robert Pogue Harrison in @nybooks 💥

Great coverage of a super important issue by @Unwrinkling What a waste: New York City budget cuts eviscerate community composting groups theguardian.com/environment/20…

I highly suggest @lilypollans book “Resisting Garbage” if this article made you feel stuff. This is where the logic of planned obsolescence has landed us.

@GabrielleHecht Very exciting!!

The Bronx River Parkway is flooded and people are stuck in their cars right now. Where were all the alerts last night about the life-threatening flash floods? Why weren’t schools closed? NYC must improve its climate-crisis planning and communications. Our lives are at stake.

@danielle_zoe I am emailing you!!!

My calendar for 2023-2024 lectures and talks is open! 🎉 Fall is especially open as I am not teaching any courses (for the first time since 2016, a seriously overdue break!).

Congratulations to our alum Prof. Smiley @UptownKastro !!!🎉👏🥳

@nigreaux @danielle_zoe Me too! I’d be delighted to participate from afar if it would be helpful!

@kiangoh Texas??

Conference life.

What would degrowth look like in New York? Really looking forward to talking with Jamie Tyberg of @DegrowNYC, hosted by @woodbinenyc

I showed my students this movie of how atmospheric CO₂ travels around the globe and you should see it too.

My @UPP_Hunter students used @MaxLiboiron and Josh Lepawsky’s criteria of #discardingwell to critique and reimagine systems of urban consumption. The result was THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WASTING WELL. Very excited to finally share it with the world ! wastingwell.wordpress.com

Ummmm…wtf is this

The first four copies of LESS a journal of #degrowth, radical sufficiency and decolonisation are available to download for free here enough.scot/less/ @degrowthUK @jasonhickel @timparrique @g_kallis @R_Degrowth

if you haven’t read Melosi’s Fresh Kills yet, please do. It is tremendous (as properly befits its subject)

I talked with @gempari and i cried a little, and then she made me seem wiser than i really am ❤️

@JooBilly Wow - that is awesome !!

I have to assume our book is becoming a course reference, as the second print run is nearly sold out. If you're using it this spring, let me know--always happy to virtually pop in if so! amazon.com/Blueprint-Coas…

@zacharylamb 🥺

Walking in windy n. Boulder yesterday. Smoke smell. Sirens. #sunshinewildlandfire. Rushed back to the house to repack the bags for possible evac. Lots of kid questions. Last time I was here, 1 year ago, Marshall fire happened on a really similar day. Climate anxiety.
