A reminder that we in Europe have enough grain to feed the entire population. At the same time, so much woody straw is produced that we could do without other synthetic insulation materials and, for example, gypsum plasterboard and e.g. OSB panels made from forest wood.

wip wsunday this was never supposed to be a big thing and yet here i am

To that last message again: Ireland's Govt is bent on sabotaging access to the Courts, to benefit itself and the favoured few. The stunt is breathtaking.

❗️This only came to light because an enviro group went to Court. Govt is giving itself power to dictate that lawyers for NGOs and public are only paid a fraction of the rate for the job when they expose a serious legal error. Yet the Govt, ACP and Developers can still pay their lawyers in full.

Sussex Ornithological Society has reported that the Owls have made a remarkable turnaround this year, after a disastrous 2025. The Tawny Owl declined by over 40% between 1995 and 2023, landing it on the Amber List of Birds of Conservation Concern.

I’ll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has proved but hollow courtesy.

More fucking nonsense. Build public toilets, pay people to maintain them, and stop placing the responsibility for the provision of services on individuals and companies, when it belongs to the state.

remembering very clearly when Me Too happened on Facebook, going out for a drink in our mixed-gender friend group & male friends just shaking their heads in horrified wonder, they had no idea how many people they knew had experienced this

Periodic reminder that if you don't like writing, you don't have to do it. By which I mean find another hobby, not outsource the writing you claim to be doing.

Was a bit bummed last night but in fairness a decade ago we didn't have pride, PATHI, trans harm reduction, the small trans library, trans healthcare action, mammies for trans rights etc. When I came out aged 31 in 2016 the average age to do so was 31 & now look at us! Our community is stronger.

so turns out you can *still* use ublock on chrome if you just inspect element it lmfao

Thanks for this really insightful article George CCS is a fossil fuel stitch-up - now with data centres. More data centres ⏩ more gas+CCS ⏩ more LNG ⏩ more methane ⏩ more heat🔥 Burnham has a chance to stop this spiralling - data centre moratorium, move CCS funding to green economy, no Rosebank

Since images seem to suddenly not be loading for loads of people, and artists depend on here as an alternative to Twitter to try and sell their work, I'll now be just describing what I'm selling instead. "Irish woman takes break from haunting bogs to doodle these yokes" www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

What are the early years of a rewilding project really like? I've been lucky enough to spend 4 years following progress at Boothby Wildland and I've written a long read about it here: www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ju...

There will be "16 explosions a day" at the proposed Dalradian gold mine in the Sperrins, an inquiry has heard. @shaunacorr.bsky.social reports.

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

The early Internet had many problems, but it was also a creative smorgasbord before corporations intruded, consumed, and consolidated all the diverse and interesting shit happening on it. We loved that new artistic frontier for the *exact fucking reason* we hate regurgitative AI.

Turned that shit off ASAP

This is exactly the kind of thing that needs to happen in the absence of legislation banning noncewear outright - people wearing it need to be made to feel like perverts.

I'm sure data centres will be taking part in these efforts to save water. After all, there can be no question that the human need for water outweighs the needs of computer servers, right? Right? #SpeirGorm

Sinn Féin abstained in a key vote last night for approval to an extension at the Moyola Precision Engineering factory in Mid Ulster. This facility makes components for F-35s that bomb kids in Gaza. The motion was passed. More F-35s will be built. Make of that what you will.

The government shamefully votes against including services in a ban on trade with the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. They have gutted the Occupied Territories Bill to please Trump and US corporations. We need complete sanctions on Israel.

The family and friends of Mexican animator Luis de la Rosa, who tragically passed away during the Annecy Festival, are asking for support to help cover travel expenses and repatriate his body. A GoFundMe fundraiser has been launched for anyone who would like to help: gofund.me/ae1944d68

Enjoy your Tuesday, #StarTrek friends! See? The writers just fulfilled Miles' childhood dreams by making him suffer!!! #StarTrekDS9 #StarTrekMemes Now for Julian... Pan to Garak: <winks>

So last episode of House of the Dragon was really good?! I've found it an okay show overall and had to watch a youtube recap of s2 to remember what happened, but I feel like s3 has more introspection or something and I'm into it

Some people complain about me managing my garden for nature...

good thing sexism is over huh

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up

nobody in the press wants to address the fact that almost everybody at the upper echelons of tech is a full on eugenist nazi

"This Whole Thing Smacks Of Gondor," i holler as i overturn my uncle's funeral pyre and turn the 4th Age of Man into the 4th Age of Shit

Arriving in Washington DC on July 4th and immediately seeing a bunch of Nazis marching with confederate flags feels like something you’d see in the pre credits scene of a an episode of Sliders/Star Trek, so the writers can quickly establish something has gone terribly awry on this timeline.

Tom Bombadil is also a powerful reminder that you should constantly be singing about how hot your wife is, and about the importance of cooking for your houseguests and making sure they're good and hammered if they wanna be
