Congrats!!! Do you feel relieved? Handing mine in soon too. I’m desperate to get it finished even though I’ve loved most of the journey.

Seeing “trans women (biological men)” written by an organisation with a name like that is disgusting. Although they’ve been anti LGBT for some time so I’m not surprised.

That’s so nice! The wrinkled flag in dire need of ironing is such a staple of the community as well haha

When I started my PhD fieldwork in 2022 I was surprised that I didn’t even see one in all my urban woodland transects. What a sad and worrying trend for such a beautiful recognisable species.

First orange tip but seen loads of brimstones. Butterflies need a good year sooner or later! ;(

How close is it to being done? I’m waiting on comments, the end feels so close but so far away 😭

Mm definitely sounds interesting! Would be interested to hear your opinion after it. I feel like political will is probably the main issue though.

Same. I’m submitting in a couple months, feels like it’s getting somewhere but so much more left to do!

I was there by myself too last September in the morning. It was just amazing to be there alone in a hall I’ve always known as absolutely packed!

Oh definitely! Started not having any idea what I was doing a few months ago to understanding it pretty well. That part does feel great!

I’m not surprised by this at all, what a pathetic bunch. I am so glad enough people have moved over here now so I never have to look at twitter again.
