AI-free social media content

The image shows a newspaper style cut out brain in the background. In the centre is the headline 'AI-FREE CONTENT' in white bold upper case laters.

after canva’s flooded our social media content and other materials with repeating same boring and meaningless design templates, now AI has become the new tool for it. not only are these creative shortcuts destroying jobs of the creative industry, but artificial intelligence is also causing huge extra energy demand in times of a climate crisis […]

a neurodivergent breakup

The image shows the small headline 'neurodivergent love:' in small black lower case letters in the top left corner. The word 'love' is crossed and the word 'breakup' underneath in black handscript.

i am currently going through a breakup – and suddenly struggling even more to focus than usual. one thing is to mentally revisit all these conversations we had and reconsidering what i could have said or done differently to help the situation we were stuck in, and all the grief about the loss of the […]

poster competition: what is dignity?

Left from it is the text 'poster competition' from the bottom to the top in black bold lower case letters.

international earth day

The image shows a blue circle with a brown border to illustrate the eartj on a fark blue background with some white small circles to illustrate space. Along the edges of the earth is the text 'international earth day' in a handwritten font to illustrate plants. But the colours go from a vibrant green in the top left, ober grey to black in the bottom right to illustrate dead plants.

today is earth day. the annual event demonstrates support for environmental protection. but even though the current fuel crisis is revealing how deep we’re still depending on fossil fuels, instead of finally cutting ties we’re throughing even more money into an industry, which is destroying our planet on different levels and thereby our future. planetary […]

the greenshouting guide

The image shows in the top centre the headline 'break the vicious circle of greenhushing' in white bold letters on a dark grey background. Underneath are four terms, one in each corner: 'Less visibility', 'lessperceived value', 'less investment' and 'less impact', which are connected by a round arrow, besides the last one, which is cut in half.

where greenwashing misleads, the term greenhushing describes the phenomenon to hide sustainable progress through silence, and making real action invisible. but this in turn erodes perceived value internally and externally, which reduces budget, leadership, and investment, which weakens real-world impact, which reinforces the belief that sustainability ‘doesn’t deliver’. this becomes a self-reinforcing downward spiral we […]

On the left bottom is the text 'stop coal' in grey lower case letters. In the bottom right the text 'plant trees'.

today is irish overshoot day. this means, that ireland consumed all resources since the new year by today, nature can provide within an entire year. this disproportionate consumption of natural assets has a huge impact on climate, biodiversity and other planetary systems. and in long-term exploitation of our home planet it affects our livelihoods through […]

fuel crisis: what we should be protesting about

The graphic shows the small text 'why we should be protesting against pedophilia, war crimes and' in the centre and the bigger and bold text 'fossil fuel dependence'. From the four corners are chains leading towards the text. In the background is a black oild slick in a circle.

last week has been crazy: after the petrol prices skyrocketed, some petrol stations even ran out of diesel. people protested for lowering the petrol tax – by driving around. for me all these issues reveal a much deeper root cause and completely missing the point: first of all, the energy crisis is caused by a […]
