Welcome to week 03 of “All Our Yesterdays – 365 climate histories.”
Last week saw the 50th anniversary of the release of “A Blueprint for Survival”, which I am fascinated by – how it was received, what happened next. But the anniversary passed without notice or discussion – oh well!
One of the success metrics (not the most important, is to have 2000 Twitter followers by the end of the year. Moved from 64 or whatever to 84. Hmm – have followed some more people, but this is going to be a slog, obvs.
Another is to have 50 guest posts, with 25 of those by people of colour, and for 25 of all the guest posts to be by people who identify either as non-binary or female. For January, we will be on track with both those.
As ever, keen to hear from people who are up for proof-reading, proposing dates, writing guest posts…
