  • Taking care of yourself is so important, lots of respect for that. And you are totally right, it’s okay (vital in fact!) to take breaks, to get away from it all. I apologise, I’ve seen too many online comments saying something derogatory towards those trying to do what they can while clearly sitting on the sidelines. Really appreciate your thoughtful response!









  • What do you want them to do instead?

    Just Stop Oil aren’t coming with a message, they’re coming with a demand. A very simple one that the science and international bodies are clear on.

    They’ve had hundreds of media appearances, are regularly referenced by politicians and have hundreds of people getting involved (and often arrested).

    In the short time they’ve been going they’ve achieved more than any orgs like Greenpeace etc.

    “This is not activism, this is passivism” What a joke. Putting your body on the line, getting a criminal record is passivism? Do tell us what activism you’re doing if that isn’t.

    “when you fly to the maldives on vacation right afterwards” Been hooked in by the right wing media good and proper.

    No artwork was harmed.







  • For anyone annoyed by climate activists: wake the hell up. LISTEN to the message.

    We are on course for an UNLIVABLE FUTURE. A BILLION climate refugees, mass crop failures, cities under water, temperatures too hot for human survival. Economic and societal collapse.

    These disruptions damage nothing and inconvenience a small amount of people for 5-30 minutes. It’s not a big deal. In a world of reactionary social media and news, these are the tactics that get attention. It is not the activist’s fault for how the media reports it.

    This is not “their cause”. This is the fight for everything we know and love.

    If you don’t like what they’re doing, start doing what you think works.
