Can you help?… I’m trying to find my people I know there’s more space fans here… just not sure how to reach you Feels weird to ask, but would you give me a signal boost by hitting share? If you’re new… Hi I’m Cat, I make pretty picture of space 🥹 let’s connect if you like weird space art

"Unfortunately it's not in our strategic interests to say the racist part out loud" is quite the advice.

This is worse than her doing it IMV

this is utterly hilarious, turns out that it was the Tories who took the word "enemy" out of the crucial witness statement in the collapsed China spy case over to you, Kemi Badenoch? www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Some have drawn a parallel between current VI polling and that in mid-2019, with the implication the traditional duopoly will inevitably reassert itself, again. I've looked at whether the evidence supports this. (I've speedily written it up, as I felt a thread would see parts get selectively RTed)

This is excellent- eye-opening in a depressing sort of way…

Contributed to this by Esther Addley. Attitudes to asylum are not irredeemably hostile - most people do want the UK to play its part - but the visible lack of control puts that principle at risk www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Great piece from @samfr.bsky.social . Fixing the NHS looks like a long, expensive haul to me. Prevention needs so many join-ups in policy- from more access to nature, to mental health, food strategy, tackling poor housing to even things like noise, air and light pollution…

This is high art

My friend Henry (who was also my student) & I decided to create some joy in –20°C weather in the Yukon and share it with you all. He is in grade 5 now. We are sending joy, hope, and positivity. (Share such messages to train your algorithm to bring positive and human-centric stories to your feed)

Can’t unsee.

We now predict a mean of 2.7C of warming in 2100. Not the 4C we predicted a decade ago. This is due to less exaggeration and better policy and technology. However, 2.7C is still very bad and it could still become much worse. At the same time we can bend the curve down further

Thanks to the FT Magazine for running these two climate cover stories - one on wildfires (July 2023), one on a possible collapse of Atlantic currents (January 2025). And thanks to everyone who read each piece, showing there is an audience for climate features www.ft.com/content/7711...

Blue birds huddling together for warmth

A very good round up of the year. Sam’s work is always worth reading.

Wow this is amazing! Ethiopian wolves as potential pollinators! Who knew!

Well I’ve been here for a while and have six followers- but that feels good as it’s a nice change from the constant fake followers on X- I really don’t miss it

I recommend this episode of Ben Goldsmith's podcast, REWILDING THE WORLD. The guest is Derek Gow: water vole, beaver, wildcat & lynx wrangler, and a natural storyteller. On how we have wrecked the natural world in Britain, and how we can turn things around.

Well, here I am. Having exited X permanently, look forward to discovering what this place has to offer
