Lovely refreshing swim today... #SeaSwim #SeaPool #Taiwan #Keelung

This is Lucky Snake Dou Dou ("Little Bean" 豆豆), the 13-meter-tall mascot of this year's #Taipei Lantern Festival, which will be alit every night from 5 to 10pm until Feb 16. Dou Dou spins to music and spews smoke every half an hour. 2025lanternfestival.travel.taipei/index.php/in...

Let's support local venues, and Keep Music Live! We've got a full Loudhailer Electric Company gig at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre, Hull coming up. It's a lovely seated venue above a book & record shop. It's going to be a busy night and we'd be delighted to see you. Info and tickets: bit.ly/4fpL2Ni

Can you see the Asian House Martins (毛腳燕)?

The world is complex. Birds don’t have to be. Black Bulbul (紅嘴黑鵯). Fairly common, look out for their red bills/feet, and 👂 miaowing.

To the crowds cheering Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement: Do you think you live on a different planet, which climate breakdown does not affect? Do you imagine only greens and progressives will be harmed by Earth systems collapse? Do you believe you can win an argument with physics?

Unfortunate to hear about another Taiwanese held arbitrarily in China—and one so young as well focustaiwan.tw/cross-strait...
