So I went to see Barbie. And I loved it. Can we have a subversive, witty, spectacular film like that that’s squarely about #EverydayEcocide next please? (I started this as a response to the #EverydaySexism collecting / hashtag project in 2016)

@NatureMC @pvonhellermannn @gdjp Martin Shaw is associated for me with Dark Mountain, that I was involved with from its start in 2009 or so. They asked these Qs about new mythologies, to dismantle discourses of progress, separation, & what I call #everydayecocide And built from Christian patriarchy, the idea that God ordains human reproduction & pastoral agriculture ad infinitum. How weather is conceived as part of this, is a really interesting question.

@SusiArnott The fact that editors consider this minor encounter with marine algae (kelp exposed to air smells, who knew!) 'a story' is a part of #EverydayEcocide that normalises hierarchies of understanding from a solely human perspective

@Biodiversity I’ve shared this in the project I run, collecting examples of #EverydayEcocide - about the cultures, media & practices that bracket out or diminish biodiversity, nature and climate change. Thanks for highlighting.

Brilliant piece from Rebecca Solnit on how we need stories to resist the denialist / delayist #everydayecocide stories. We need stories with historical imagination, with systemic awareness, with clarity around justice, that show people working collectively, that show a multiplicity of solutions not single silver bullets... https://www.theguardian.com/news/2023/jan/12/rebecca-solnit-climate-crisis-popular-imagination-why-we-need-new-stories

@Sustainable2050 This is #EverydayEcocide (In Climate Museum UK we collect incidents of things like this, currently on Birdsite & FB, since 2016. We should seed this hashtag here too.)

@bridgetmck I am finding it hard to work out where and how to use political energies right now, to shift thinking on #EverydayEcocide or elsewhere. My instinct is still that these gatherings (COP and others) matter and, depressing as the compromises are, they need to be logged and at least described. I am reading, now about #CoP19 -- found this good https://chinadialogueocean.net/en/conservation/explainer-why-cites-matters-for-marine-species/ but feel increasingly in need of a local focus for political work, for people and for #bioabundance

And in my professional world, which is all about environment / climate & culture & learning, nobody has mentioned COP15. I talked about it in 2020 & 2021, each time it was postponed. Trying to weave it into our Climate COP response while giving it due attention for its own sake. It feels part of #EverydayEcocide that we neglect it.
