I love @queenofdogshite.bsky.social work - prints and tattoos. I am mentally preparing myself to get a special tattoo done by her later this year or into next (big step for me as never got one but I want one in particular)….. but check out her work here and on instagram. AMAZING!!! #tattoo

#GreensDeliver - well done @malcolmnoonan.bsky.social 👏https://www.npws.ie/sites/default/files/publications/pdf/Biodiversity-Duty-Guidance.pdf. But sadly, without Greens in government Coillte has closed Coillte Nature at odds with its duty as a public body under the Wildlife Act and this guidance.

“A very strange and very quiet deletion from Coillte’s business plan and strategy.” In the depths of a biodiversity crisis, #Coillte has quietly folded its dedicated nature restoration division, #CoillteNature. Is this not a signal that Coillte is not committed to nature restoration?

Abolishing #CoillteNature, just weeks before they won an award for their #naturerestoration work, was a regressive decision that must be reviewed. Among other questions and concerns about the future of forestry, I put this to Minister Healy Rae in the #Seanad this week. 🌳👇 @greenpartyie.bsky.social

I visited Prestongrange Museum, out in the verdant countryside of East Lothian, on Wednesday. It's a place too often overlooked but has massive potential for informing of a past not so long ago, which created our world, as well as much older stories ( 1300s monks using coal to heat salt pans!) n/1

Had a full blown migraine attack the past two days … Jaysus it was worst one ever I think. Broke thru my preventative meds. Vision loss, blasting headache and vomiting since early Tuesday morning to late last night. Today, very tired and will pace myself, early night. Need my routine back, suits me

To all accounts asking for me to donate to Gaza people and families. I donate through established charities. There are too many fake accounts and scammers on here now that I can’t trust any of them. I support Palestine 🇵🇸 people to be free of Hamas and of the Israeli bombings. I give what I can.

It’s wildly insufficient to call Trump the most corrupt president in U.S. history. It’s more correct to say he’s a convicted criminal running a criminal operation from the White House, with “corruption” being a term reserved for actual presidents.
