A very emotional update after one week at COP26. We're so tired. Marginalised people are tired. We're being excluded and ignored and forced to watch them not care. And we still have to get through one more week of this. #COP26

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The NY Post sensationalizes a Climate Impact Lab map as showing where "most people will die" from an "apocalyptic" calamity; the tracker estimates ~373k additional heat deaths (Oct-Mar) via statistical models vs. baseline, not certain outcomes. impactlab.org/el-nino-heat-m… factcheckafrica.net/explainer-what…

For those who are unaware, Israel kills approximately 8–10 innocent people in Gaza every single day, purely for amusement.

I love how this makes and holds space for Palestinian voices instead of the usual (imperial/White) Saviour positioning that too many - iykyk - deploy. Across the world, anticolonial kinship means/requires making and holding space for the colonised TO speak, NOT speaking FOR

Last night, Bisan Owda virtually opened for Macklemore's Free Palestine tour in Dublin, Ireland, before screening a piece she helped choreograph featuring Palestinian children singing in Gaza.

‘WILDWOOD’ director Travis Knight says Laika will NEVER use AI in its films: “AI is theft. It’s the ingestion of years and years and years of human creativity and ingenuity, regurgitated back. It has no humanity. It has no spirit.” (Via: theplaylist.net/wildwood-tra…)

Detrás de cámaras de #Wildwood, que barbaridad. Una obra maestra que ha tardado un total de 16 años en hacerse, desde plantearse la película hasta realizarse. El trabajo y esfuerzo que tiene #Wildwood, es absolutamente descomunal. Una película sin igual:

Please. *Please* just go and see this and give it a steady growth. I know that it's a given for LAIKA films not to do very well but we need to show up. Prove to the studios that in this world of soulless slop where people have no attention span, a film like this still matters.

Men, children and teens in 🇨🇩 Congo risking their lives for Cobalt. So we can fuel our phones and electric vehicles — many of the Congolese workers will die. Many have already plunged to their death.

Heartbreaking. Heartbreaking. Heartbreaking. Eight-year-old Fatima Hisham al-Bayook has succumbed to her injuries after being struck by an Israeli bullet a few days ago east of Deir al-Balah, Gaza. There had been desperate pleas for her urgent medical evacuation in the hope of saving her life. After contacting her family, I can also confirm that Fatima’s mother and two younger siblings were killed in an Israeli strike on December 13, 2023. Her siblings were Leen, a baby less than a year old, and Asaad, just three years old. Israel’s terror and the systematic destruction of Palestinian families continue to unfold before the eyes of the world. Remember their names.
