Thank You Ireland 🇮🇪

The lake today. #loughderg #Ireland

'Forest restoration' is booming, but biodiversity isn’t. Why? A lot of the time, it's just planting so-called 'forests' of alien monocultures. In other words, nothing but another bullshit money-making racket. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Donald Trump 'lives in a place of disinformation' He’s right

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Visited a 7 metre long wedge tomb in County Cork today. Astonishing.

Just finished bingeing The Penguin. I know I’m a little late to the party but I still can’t believe that’s Colin Farrell under all that rubber.

This is a superb analysis and review of the current child sexual abuse controversy (and the motivations of the key players) from @stephenkb.bsky.social. Free-to-read, too! Bush continues to be one of the finest, most balanced political journalists out there. www.ft.com/content/b6ef...

NEW: This is my last article of 2024! I spoke to scientists working in Antarctica about how climate change is making it increasingly difficult for them to carry out their fieldwork. 🧊 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Good morning from the lake. #Ireland #loughderg

So beautiful and calm on the lake. #Ireland #loughderg #nature

Ooft, this FT climate graphic of the week "First ice-free day in the Arctic Ocean may come before 2030, study shows" www.ft.com/content/6...

A tangle of roots. #Ireland #loughderg

Wet and windy this morning by the lake. Seeing off the last of storm Darragh. #Ireland #loughderg

The Geminid meteor shower is due to peak on December 13, but there's plenty of other celestial sights to feast your eyes on during the festive season.

Still and reflective. #Ireland #loughderg #nature

A mother always knows.

🔴 Trump's Return & the Farage Blindspot: Dismissing What We Disagree With in the Hope It Will Disappear Isn't the Answer – Reality Proves Otherwise "A Musk-funded Farage as PM? Does that sound outlandish, conspiracist, wild? Sure. That's why we must pay attention to it" @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social

For similar shocking revelations about #Scotland's #LandOwnership, check out Andy Wightman and his work around 'Who Owns Scotland' @andywightman.bsky.social whoownsscotland.org.uk

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

The EYFS reforms 2021 brought an important shift away from collecting lots of evidence about every child, but that doesn’t mean we should ‘throw the baby out with the bath water’. Here are six reasons why observations are still important in the early years: tapestry.info/are-observat...

Rays on Lough Derg. 2007

Thick, natural woodland lines the banks and islands of Lough Derg, Co Tipperary. A picture of how most of Ireland once was. Nature needs, we need, SO much more of this. #Rewilding 🌍

A beaut of a #FoxOfTheDay today , thank you @davidhateley !

Some preening and cleaning on the lake this morning. #Ireland #loughderg #nature

An "accidentally rewilded" 377-acre UK farm is now home to many threatened species, including turtle doves, warblers, 11 bat species, orchids + butterflies. Such examples prove how nature can recover when we let it, and that rewilding reverses nature loss. 🌍 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
