If you listen to one thing today, let it be Donna Ockenden’s Desert Island Discs. An early life of deprivation and disadvantage fed a fierce drive to do right by women and their babies. Hero. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Haha! Love this letter from Douglas Adams to his US editor about not Americanising the text of Hitchhiker's Guide. 🐋🌸

Love how all hayfever advice is basically 'don't you go outside now ever. No not today, never.'

One of my favourite quotes… #GreatGatsby

Chloris chloris - a Greenfinch showing off his colours during the @sussexornitholo.bsky.social walk at #Tidemills at the weekend and lots of ‘wheezing’ going on. A ‘very common resident’ in Sussex (Sussex Bird Report 2023) though perhaps it doesn’t always feel like it. #sussexbirding #ukbirding

Sometimes I feel like my Canyon Wren shots are just as much a study in the interaction between lichen and the volcanic rock it is breaking down. The driving force speeding up the weathering and erosion creating such an impressive landscape for the wren to call home. #birds

Every so often the camera sends me an angle of a bird I haven’t seen before, and this one is a delight. 🪶

quietly listening, Twiglet the Robin, clearly concentrating, how very sweet, what a very lovely Robin he is. Thank u to Ed Foster for this very nice photo

Always a thrill to see a beautiful Fox Sparrow. They show up only rarely, and I’ve never seen more than one at a time. #Sparrow #Birds #wildlife #nature #photography #NewJersey

When we first suggested there was a problem, they called us a “social media rabble”. Now the Royal College of Physicians has come round to our concerns. New statement: www.rcp.ac.uk/news-and-med... Vote for @drasifqasim.bsky.social for President

Beautiful, powerful letter I have been asked by Harvard colleagues if they should keep quiet so as not put the larger Harvard community at risk with their words Took me a while to ruminate My response: Harvard is its people and their voices If we are silent then there is no Harvard to save

"Our people have fought for this, our heroes died. How many injured, how many passed. So no one will forget about it... This is the most important red line. We will not let anyone forget about this crime against Ukraine," President Volodymyr Zelensky told journalists on March 12.

Today was special. I finally got to meet one of my favourite artists @hestercoxprint.bsky.social at her studio in Horton-in-Ribblesdale. We have a few of Hester's collagraphs already, but having seen this one in 'real life' we found it impossible to resist! More here: www.hestercox.com #art #birds

I miss lots of my twitter friends but sadly had to leave a platform owned by Musk.

"Yesterday I wrote a piece for the Guardian about my decision to step down as an Associate Editor at the Royal Society’s journal Open Science. The response has been overwhelming." My latest substack. open.substack.com/pu...

Wes Streeting said it was “extremely concerning and should not have been allowed to happen” that a change of gender wipes out a trans doctor's disciplinary history. But it simply wasn't true. Will @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social apologise for spreading disinformation?

🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨 I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk. My op-ed in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

RFK Jr sparks alarm after backing vitamins to treat measles amid outbreak

It's naive to think that the US has some strategy. Here: "He described Trump’s decision-making as driven by personal relationships and 'neuron flashes' rather than a deep understanding of national interests." Trump simply doesn't have what it takes for his job. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Crocuses - Frankley Worcestershire UK - 04-03-25 #photography #flowers #crocus #spring

I wholeheartedly agree with this piece from @kityates.bsky.social. The Royal Society has to take may things into consideration, including what its US members feel - but even so, I think the right course in this instance is very clear, and they ducked it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Is Trump sacrificing Ukraine to Putin? youtu.be/HUCN5Rnl8Ps

In the wake of the Feb. 28 clash in the Oval Office, the Kyiv Independent went to the streets of Kyiv to ask Ukrainians what they think of the now infamous meeting.
