I’m a no dig allotment gardener in the UK (9a). Compost maker, dog walker, vegetarian, anxiety sufferer. Climate issues and UK Green Party will be boosted. No Alt Text no boost. My avatar is a brindle boxer dog with a stick in his mouth and the header is a bed of pink hylotelephium spectabile in early autumn.

A bouquet of flowers picked from the garden on this day three years apart. The pink bouquet is from today, the yellow bouquet is from 2023.
Only the forget-me-nots and yellow wallflowers are present at the same time of year as they were three years ago.

…and Richard’s article is itself about how we’re in the anti-resilience waiting room for economic depression, in part because the tools at the Bank of Fucking England think that every financial pressure is a nail to be hit with an interest rate hammer.
Instead of us taxing inflationary obscene wealth or doing anything at all to manage demand or accepting that there are in fact limits to what we’ve all been doing.
It’s #enshittification anti-resilience all the way down folks

#ClimateDiary Short overview of my evolving consciousness
2000s: climate change, ecological destruction bad but can be tackled/ a while off/studying this is my contribution
2017-2021: it’s a #ClimateEmergency! We need to act NOW! #Activism
2022-25: it’s a #Polycrisis What will get us first - Climate breakdown? inequality? Fascism? AI dystopia? (Nuclear) war?
2026: Oh, it’s all at once, right now, this is it #CollapseDiary
(and yes i know many of you will have been years ahead of me)

Long overdue catch up with #ClimateDiary and thinking about how, in history, there are always co-existing trends, each with their own momentum, inertia, infrastructures, material changes, discourses; like waves going in and out simultaneously. Perhaps we need to get better at seeing several simultaneously.
These 3 climate trends all co-exist and are all real:
- Earth’s climate is now departing from stable conditions; we may be on a “hothouse trajectory” 1/4

#ClimateDiary. I am marking and marking - at the moment, blogs students wrote for Urban Political Ecology.
This final sentence just now is so good I have to share it here:
“The next time you are walking through a city on a hot day, do not just look for a tree. Ask yourself why it was planted there, who is allowed to sit under it, and who is still standing out in the sun.”

#ClimateDiary After a year or more of “post-activism” I have had a bit of a turning point this week: i became a “Relationships Officer” of my newly reborn local #GreenParty (Eastbourne), am part of the Exec and instantly linked into mobilising around the #gortonbyelection. Getting Hannah Spencer elected would be amazing!
On a personal note: you feel so much better when you are doing something.
