The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council estimate that the cost of fines for climate inaction could be between €8 billion to €26 billion. That's in addition to the mounting human & financial costs of climate breakdown. Investing that money in solutions sounds a better option. www.rte.ie/news/2025/03...

Reading @sarahthefirth.bsky.social ‘s book ‘Eventually Everything Connects’ and this panel makes me think… in the background IRL my washing machine is running a cleaning cycle with vinegar. What does self-cleaning really mean? 🫣

At University of Cambridge, I was asked if I maintain a sense of optimism about climate change. My answer: Yes, because unlike cancer, where we often don't know the cause and don't have a cure, we know exactly why global temperatures are rising and how to stop it. We just need the political will.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Last night I dreamed my house was full of huntsmen spiders in pants, like this. Some had orange pants. But who made them pants with elastic leg holes? Who put the pants on them? Is it just a coincidence that ‘huntsmans in pants’ rhymes with ‘husbands who dance’?

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Some images of the splendid fairy wrens which visit my backyard from time to time. They are just too adorable. Being so small, they are also very fast. I feel it's an accomplishment if I can get a few photos that are in focus. 😊 #Albany #WesternAustralia #australiannativebirds #canonphotography

I don't know what you've got going on this morning, but taking a few min to read up on historical examples of how to stop authoritarians/oligarchs is time well spent: educational and empowering. This morning, may I suggest starting with "Secessio plebis". Romans knew how to general strike.
