Thrilled to have won a Hillman Prize, this was a five-country series that took months of reporting, and @samanth_s and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible editorial support from @ambelenky @typeinvestigate and the time from @HeatherLandy and @zseward at Quartz

Incredible investigation by @paulmozur about how Russia keeps its economy turning around western sanctions. Such detailed/fascinating/dark insight into how the world works

#Renewables are the cheapest form of power today. Mainly solar & wind w/ their relativity short project lead times present vital planks in countries efforts to reduce #fossilfuels & reach #netzero. Check out @IRENA’s latest #renewable costs trends 👉 https://t.co/txW9Vpt2n6

Yesterday I resigned from the FCC's press freedom committee after three years on the committee, two of them as a board member. As a former winner and judge of the HRPA, I feel nothing but the deepest regret and do not stand by this decision https://t.co/fAvwzSDJv3

Air pollution in #Thailand is an overlooked public health crisis. Besides impact on lungs & heart, research increasingly linking pollution to cognitive impairment, dementia; per one study, a bad pollution day = cognitive decline equivalent to ageing 15 yrs

I downloaded all the data Amazon has on me, and honestly the creepiest thing about it is that they sent me the *actual audio files* of every time I spoke* to Amazon Alexa *years ago when I was young and foolish about surveillance

If global emissions had peaked in 2000…

NEW: Glasgow climate summit impact on coal: *cancellation of 90 new coal power projects *phase out 370 existing plants that didn't have a close-by date before *95% of world's coal plants now covered by carbon neutrality targets - that require closing essentially all of them

My queer, Philippine YA novel, My Heart Underwater, is on a list of books under investigation by the Texas State House.

Breaking - U.S journalist Danny Fenster has been sentenced to 11 years in prison in #Myanmar, his lawyer tells @Reuters. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

The emissions of rich US Americans are extreme to the point of being violent. Also, emissions in China are a fraction of the Western average. Even the rich emit *less than the poorest 50%* of Anglo-Americans. An important corrective to Western narratives. https://t.co/ijnceTczU0

Saying that "global CO2 emissions are back to pre-pandemic levels" doesn't capture what's happening. China's emissions are far above pre-pandemic levels and those of the rest of the world are still significantly below.

I mistakenly deleted today's visualization about what's at stake at #COP26 So here is it again (+slightly clarified).

Periplus (where I’m a mentor) has opened its applications for the 2022 class of fellows! Our collective mentors writers and journalists of color in craft and knowledge of the industry. It’s a great community of amazing writers, apply!

So I asked Simon Schofield, the head engineer for a ship tech company and he said he only worries about weight as a function of drag and they’re making sails for Panamaxes and VLOCs. Nerd out on how wind power works with me

The last time sails were used, ships weighed a few hundred tons, today they weigh upwards of 100,000 tons, which seems like a lot
