If family hasn't the money for sufficient food, it's 11.8% compared to 4.4%.
Poverty is a mental health issue.

My new article is out! “The Process of #Ecoanxiety and #EcologicalGrief: A Narrative Review and A New Proposal”, open access at Sustainability, mdpi.com/2071-1050/14/24/166…. Aim: a model which is both simple and nuanced enough. Includes both chronological and thematic aspects. (1/8)
ALT Figure shows the new proposal for a process model of eco-anxiety and ecological grief, published by Panu Pihkala in December 2022. Unknowing-Semiconsciousness-Awakening-Shock-Coping and Changing. Three dimensions: Action, Grieving, Distancing (including both self-care and avoidance). Aim: Adjusting and Transforming. Further "metaphase": Living with the ecological crisis.

Leah Foster, new mother & Uni of Derby student, has been suspended for taking her newborn to class.
What message does this send to students w caring responsibilities (usually women)? Why not offer hybrid learning options instead of suggesting she defer?

A part of my experience here in Finland, learning how they govern equality of access to childcare and education, and how that is changed by market forces. A great PhD defence!

@VilleRuutiainen: Marketization and privatization of ECEC in Finland jyx.jyu.fi/handle/123456789/…
Ville shows how marketization seems to result segregation even in the situation where a bunch of equity measures are involved. A shift from universalism?

This is such a powerful video…
So simple
So much sense
The Tories know this too
But they also know that it’s the millionaires & billionaires who donate to them that keep them in power
…and the sad truth is, that’s who they really work for.

It's a simple idea: We demand the govt scrap the energy price rises and deliver affordable energy for all. We will build a million pledges and by Oct 1st if the govt and energy companies fail to act we will cancel our direct debits. Read more here: dontpay.uk/

Here's what people in Wakayama, Japan receive when they test positive and have to isolate. (This is for two kids). In North America, we're all about how people are cool if they shrug it off and keep working.
Get up and move! Much better than sitting down and not moving ie endless zoom calls. Research and knowledge exchange can be mobile, low tech, green and active.... go for a walk. thanks @edsecbh
