Got 5 minutes? This is a reminder that just outside your door the world is mind-bogglingly weird, wild & fantastical. By ⁦Dominic Couzens⁩ ‘A glittering new world of intrigue’: the rich stories Britain’s insects have to tell | Insects | The Guardian theguardian.com/environment/20…

Astonished to hear in @BBCradio4 Inside Science that some USA farmers feed chicken shit to cattle. This may explain why some cattle now have H5N1 Avian influenza. Unbelievably stupid and horrible.

Nice free trade deal with the USA anyone?

Indiscriminate and targeted killing of civilians. Deliberate mass destruction of infrastructure and public services. Induced famine. None of this is 'normal' warfare against a military force. How could what the Israeli government is doing in not be classified as genocide?

My first chance to see the new exhibition at Yorkshire Museum yesterday. This headdress is the centrepiece, but every exhibit is astonishing. No pottery, no metal, no livestock. But human skill, ingenuity, & belief so evident, so familiar. Goosebumps.

This feels huge. Govts & courts have ignored huge things before o course, but surely this is a crack in the dam, (uncomfortable but apt analogy). Can we now stop prosecuting those trying to divert us from catastrophe & let juries consider their motivation? bbc.com/news/science-e…

Not just geography students. We are the most nature-depleted & disconnected nation in Europe: ecologically illiterate, plant-blind, and unwell ⁦Right to Roam

📢 There’s a way around the Govt’s voter-suppression tactics: apply for a postal vote, >no ID needed<. The vote comes to your door, via mail. I just applied successfully; it takes 10 mins all-in (& you’ll save time not having to walk to vote ;)
PleaseRT!

Yes. Good information offered with grace and a belief that we can all do better is how we get from disconnection (& its grim attendants of fear, ignorance, resentment & othering) to a place of belonging and response-ability.

This is grim beyond belief, but also makes abundantly clear where the crisis facing England’s precious natural places really sits - with a system that is unfit, broken, corrupt, criminal. The land needs the care, vigilance and action of ordinary people.
