Fantastic news. Many congrats
Thank you, so much, for the thoughtful messages. I’ve been at work all day – still here, in fact, and likely to be for a while – so I haven’t been able to write back, but I will. And I’m thoroughly jazzed to know so many brilliant, kind, generous people. Thank you!

the idea of a carbon footprint calculator was invented by British Petroleum not to encourage conservation, but to focus consumers' attention on their own emissions and distract their attention from the incomparably greater emissions of the industry itself.

My latest painting captures the true love of the President and Melania Trump, whose inspiring romance makes us all our hearts melt like butter.

Thank you so much @HappyWoman9 ie Lucinda Williams, for a moving, astounding concert @BarbicanCentre . Your elegies and celebrations are peerlessly beautiful, conjured from a handful of chords, a perfection of words, and a voice that don’t tell no pretty lies. Here’s to you -

Exceptionally important act of historical and architectural redemption - the Residency where the story of Khair Un-Nissa and James Kirkpatrick - and their two children, before they were sent to England - was lived out, as gloriously detailed in White Mughals by @DalrympleWill
Very proud to have played a small role in saving this extraordinary masterpiece- the British Residency in Hyderabad built for the White Mughal, James Achilles Kirkpatrick by Nizam Ali Khan, Asaf Jah II.

‘ A historical imagination equips you to understand that change is ceaseless.” @RebeccaSolnit excellent. No single story/solution. Cathedral thinking. And above all FOLLOW THE MONEY for the most important area of personal/public climate action

The long read: So much is happening, both wonderful and terrible – and it matters how we tell it. We can’t erase the bad news, but to ignore the good is the route to indifference or despair

“But the ban is too narrow in its scope. It won’t cover single-use plastic water bottles, makes no mention of plastic bags and does not even try to control the burning of plastic waste in incinerators.”| John Vidal

Superb distillation of the crimes and catastrophes of our colonial history and present by @DalrympleWill
For me the best podcast 2022 and a strong argument why more of this history should be on the National History Curriculum 👍🏽 Bravo @DalrympleWill (Shakespeare performed by the crew on a East India Boat 😳)

There is a monster leak of Arctic air heading towards the whole of North America. Many places will experience -20C. These leaks are becoming more frequent as the jet stream weakens. This is a new climate. The stability of the Holocene is over.
