What is the Nature's Rights Bill? 🤔 Tomorrow @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social will be presenting the second reading of a bill which could grant our natural ecosystems, like forests, legal rights. ⚖️ Endorse the bill at www.natures-rights.org/uk-bill #RightsOfNature #NatureRestoration #Rewilding

Something deeply troubling & shocking is happening at Exeter University*, where a mass cull of staff is planned, even though it's in surplus. No good justifications given. @jamesgdyke.info provides the details: www.technosphere.earth/the-bonfire-... *Disclosure: I have a Visiting Fellowship here. +🧵

Anyone who watched Morning Live on BBC One this morning will have caught a first showing of the trailer for my most recent programme, Evolution with Chris Packham! I suspect it'll be online at some point soon - will share when it is!

The entire internet

this is full-stop VOCAL* shit (*Victims Of Child Abuse Laws, the USian fathers rights organization that viewed parents, men in particular, as the victims of laws against sexual abuse, picketed the offices of doctors who provided care to CSA survivors, and provided legal aid to accused men)

"Trans people will always exist." Cool. "They can't kill us all." Comforting. Yeah, transness will survive, but *I* want to survive, too, y'know? But also, survival and existence aren't enough for me anymore, and they shouldn't be enough for allies either. I want to see my trans friends thrive.

[bravely] I think Hitler was bad

This incredible graphic is by @maijakarala.bsky.social and is an excellent crash-course in bird (and honestly animal) color/pigmentation. Check it out! I’ve continually come back to this for reference and always love sharing it with others 🐧🐦🐤🏳️‍🌈

Reupping the bundles by other authors because I adore their works and everyone should go get them

#SurvivingEarth The incredible designs of paleoartist Gabriel Ugueto have been faithfully turned into realistic models by VFX artists...Here are the creatures he reconstructed for E03.

I spent the last few hours archiving dozens of random nature documentaries and stumbled upon something incredible. These screenshots are from the 2005 series "Europe: A Natural History" and have to be seen to be believed. Walking with Dinosaurs really was EVERYWHERE back then!

TREES ARE GOOD but to the tune of Ebeneezer Goode

Grimly ironic that so many self-proclaimed leftwing people went and earned a permanent and gaping wound on their souls by insisting they were desperate to leave Labour, but HAD to stay so they could vote in a leadership election, only for them to all be frozen out entirely.

Fuck fossil fuel executives

I especially love this diagram.

Unless they give cusomters full refunds this should honestly be straight up illegal.

The oldest known instance of the "Cool S", a symbol of unknown origin, on a tenth century Viking runestone. This sigil has persisted through the centuries and is still found today. Scholars believe its origin is unrelated to the letter S, and that it may have originally been part of a ritual.

It’s true!!! The project I just started with WB just got announced at Annecy!! ✨Prehistoria✨ I call it a fossil fantasy 🥰I’m excited! it’s a dream come true already 😭

This country's gender politics are truly extraordinary.

She fucking lied. Yes, we knew it. Yes, we knew they knew it, but here she is, many years & suicides later openly admitting she fucking lied. Anyone citing the Cass Report as a valid document is a despicable, rancid cunt. No exceptions. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Israel continues to commit genocide, atrocity crimes by deliberately targeting Palestinian children, UN independent commission finds | UN News news.un.org/en/story/202...

Great article 💯

Uhh if poor people in foreign countries are being boiled alive by the buildings they reluctantly live in but don’t own should just move or uhh have more money, I’m a leftist

Labour have realised that their transphobia and homophobia are losing them votes. Instead of doing something about the roll back of rights they’re responsible for, they’re hoping this political slop will do. The draft is full of loopholes, almost unusable and will help protect abusers not victims.

Grim, so doctors will be legally permitted to do conversation therapy

the fact that 'heat wave debate' is trending is a testament to just how obnoxious, ignorant, and arrogant americans can truly be. all while their nation is the number one cause of climate change in the entire god damned world. you'd think they'd know to shut up, right? to keep their heads down?

But some oil executives have made a lot of money, so it is impossible to say whether this is good or bad.

Centrist politics are dogshit and finding more eloquent speakers isn't enough to conceal or change that!

Technically, they’re Remains now.

it's been said a million times but it needs to be said a million more: the self-appointed Preteen Genital Inspectors do not have "kids online safety" in mind at all. they have "make kids maximally vulnerable to the genital inspector authorities with as little recourse as possible" in mind

parents their child's full search history from their school device. I need everyone to realise how deep into this battle over whether children are human or property we are, because the fascists, the pedophiles, and the people who simply love abusing children got scared of the possibility the kids

I don’t need to hear Americans talk about anything these days (except you lovely lot) but especially not interested in hearing them piss on about how many thousand Fahrenheit it is every day where they are like it’s vaguely relevant or comparable.

Its entirely possible that the UK as a state is simply incompatible with the present.

“Elon Musk is no longer a trillionaire.” This made my day just a little bit better www.fontanka.ru/2026/06/24/7...

i think its mostly the far right and shitty centrists that are feeding far right rhetoric, but what do i know

also as an aside, calling me a "well-known criminal" is libelous. i have no criminal record and have not been found guilty of a crime in any court of law.

Israel deliberately targeted Palestinian children in its genocide. That’s the findings of a latest UN commission. Remember: if you oppose this abomination, you’re treated as a dangerous, hateful extremist

Wait wait wait Trump "inspected" the reflecting pool's paint job by getting *driven around inside the empty pool* in the 6 tonne presidential limo, and supposedly vandals with some sharp sticks are the culprits for the damage?

10 years on from #Brexit referendum, what can we learn? That top down, technocratic arguments didn’t work then & won’t work in any campaign to rejoin. It’s about picking a side - in an increasingly insecure world, with US ever more insular & unreliable, it’s clear our future lies with EU neighbours

It’s the 10th anniversary of Brexit. Let’s have a look at how that’s going: 1974-2016: 7 prime ministers 2016-2026: 7 prime ministers I said it then. I’ll say it again. It’s a shitshow.

We have none that the establishment won’t utterly sabotage. Labour will happily destroy its own chances in an election than suffer a leader who isn’t a neoliberal slimepipe.

We are delighted to announce ‘The Gaza Tribunal: Britain’s Complicity In Genocide’, a brand new book documenting our report’s findings with an afterword by Sally Rooney, will be published in July 2026. 📕 Available for pre-order now: www.plutobooks.com/product/the-...

people voted to get the tories out Starmer steered the party more and more tory It doesn't take a genius to figure out why noone liked him.

As per yesterday's Reuters on the heatwave: 'At least 18 people died in France, including two children left in a hot car' - and this is the picture they chose It's not new that the media is complicit in climate denialism, but that doesn't mean we have to accept it.

How did you spend your solstice? One in four people in England today report the solstice as being spiritually significant. A quarter of people have also visited a stone circle, with 5% of those people timing a visit with solstices or equinoxes.

When Margaret Thatcher resigned, the departure of a PM was such a big event that our physics teacher wheeled a TV into the lab so we could watch the news. Now my kids don't even look up from their phones.

I think early on there was some natural curiosity in seeing if generative "AI" was going to be beneficial. I think we caught on that a) it wasn't going to make our writing better, b) it was all based on stolen work anyway. Any writer using it at this point is lazy and/or looking for an angle.

The 'This Is Fine' meme unironically

Haters have been bemoaning that Viv's no longer "indie" to imply that she's some dirty sell-out, as if they didn't go open season back when she WAS a niche web artist. It's just moving the goalposts after it became obvious that her supposedly terrible art is getting significant acclaim and reach.
