See big industry business guys paying some bad science geeks to run with this: just replace fossil fuels with nukes, large-scale centralized mega-solar or big-wind, get mass stupidity and extinction another way?

The phys.org articles are really helpful, but there is something about the tone that feels misleading. The way humanity and people in general are blamed for not noticing and changing, if only everyone obeyed the good scientists we'd be fine... More like the problem is that most of humanity, people in general, are are excluded from policy decisions even when the notice their worsening situations and their causes in industry, politics, the rich and powerful..

2/ We need urgent multi-front action: more research 💰, accessible healthcare 🏥, business support 💼, and financial safety nets 💵. Our economy's backbone is its workforce. Protect it to protect all. #PolicyChange

Let's end #LongCovid together! Spread the word, demand action.

Policymakers, employers, healthcare pros, everyone - we all have a role. Because a healthy economy needs a healthy workforce. #ActNow
#CovidIsNotOver

I read The Book of Trespass for my Green book group this week and it reminded me of a meme I made juxtaposing two quotes about boundaries. 🧵

The last paragraph is often the most important one (and the last sentence here is best). "5. Get personal and political: There’s more you can do. Action can mean thinking about your #identities, your #workplace, your #networks, and your #privileges, but also understanding what sorts of action lead to #policychange. You can always do more by not acting alone." https://www-vox-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/23511257/how-us-fight-climate-change-2023

The intro to our special issue "Dynamics of Policy Change" in #dms - der moderne staat is online!

We (with Sandra Plümer) take a processual analytical perspective to reconsider different concepts of #PolicyChange and #transformation.

Building on the issue's contributions, we derive modes and qualities of policy change as a combination of factors for a better understanding of policy change and stability.

A closer look will follow soon.
