The cattle industry wants to change avian influenza's name, but they don't even know the consequences of the virus & disease in mammals. Marina Bolotnikova covers my concept of the 'disease trap' of animal agriculture here. But there are ways we can escape 🧵 vox.com/future-perfect…

As a serial airbnb-er (can’t even count how many over the last 3ish years of nomading) I have developed pet hates. And this is one of them: passive aggressive signs at every turn … they make me want to do the opposite 😂 this particular place is serious about towel use.

Great panel going on rn Jenny Splitter fèini yĭn Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) #sej2024

Total privilege to hear about all the groundwork that these incredible journalists put into such important, untold stories around #climatechange :

People are taking pictures of gross-looking chicken legs they've found at grocery stores and claiming it was 'lab-grown' and the conspiracy theorists are eating it up.

At the Drilled Floodlight disinfo workshop Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) 2024 conference the exact definition of disinformation has come up a couple times already. I like Phil Newell's version: 'Wrong, on purpose, for money.'

Sentient's Editor-in-Chief Jenny Splitter joins a panel of experts tomorrow at #SEJ2024 to set the context.
