The film 'The Harder They Come' "hit the international scene on the heels of Blaxploitation films like “Shaft” (1971) and “Superfly” (1972), & was a standout at 1972’s Venice Film Festival.

The title track of the soundtrack "was the only song Cliff recorded specifically for the movie. Calling it “the album that took reggae worldwide,” Rolling Stone placed it at No. 174 on its list of greatest albums of all time in 2020…

I just donated to support the people of Jamaica. 🇯🇲

The aftermath of Hurricane Melissa has left many families in #Jamaica struggling to find basic necessities like food and clean water. My friends at The Authentic Caribbean Foundation is working to send a shipment of supplies to those in need, but we need your help to cover the shipping costs.

Whether it’s a repost to share this mission, or a small donation—every act of solidarity makes a difference.

Rooftop solar has grown significantly in Jamaica over the past decade, and it's seen as a way to become more resilient to ever-intensifying storms. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/11/11/energy/jamaicans-solar-power-storm/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #climatechange #typhoons #hurricanes #caribbean #solar #renewables #jamaica

#ClimateDiary Fundraiser! #Jamaica

My student herself is ok (though it’s been tough), but the place where she stays in the Blue Mountains is completely cut off due to landslides and a collapsed road and bridge. Many people’s coffee crops completely desteoyed, too.

She has set up a fundraiser with local friends to rebuild the bridge. It would be lovely if #ClimateDiary could contribute a little!

'No help, no food, no water': Hurricane-hit Jamaican towns desperately wait for aid

Days after Hurricane Melissa hit, communities are isolated with little food, no water, and no idea of when normalcy will return.

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is in Jamaica after Category 5 Hurricane Melissa made landfall. The storm brought destructive winds, torrential rain, and widespread flooding. We’re working with local partners to serve meals as to families impacted by the storm.

A woman and a man ride a motorcycle through a devastated area in Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa, showing destruction and debris in the background. Towns are in ruins, highlighting the impact of the natural disaster.

Image features a donation appeal for World Central Kitchen, highlighting efforts to provide fresh meals to communities in Jamaica affected by Hurricane Melissa. It includes a description of the organization's mission and the urgency of support needed, with images of prepared meals in aluminum containers.

Starting to see pretty terrible scenes from Jamaica as news slowly trickles out. Complete devastation in the western part of the country (Negril, Montego Bay, Black River). Not much in the way of images yet. But descriptions of forests levelled by the wind and turned into sticks.

Hoping it's not as bad as it seems, but people have perished and are missing.

Sending all the love and support to all Jamaicans! And those impacted in Cuba, DR, and Haiti too!

Hurricane Melissa, which struck Jamaica as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, was made four times more likely because of human-caused climate change, a rapid analysis said Wednesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/10/31/climate-change/climate-change-hurricane-melissa-study/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #jamaica #storms #typhoons #climatechange
