Really enjoyed our conversation, thanks @pitzeglide.bsky.social

Finally visited Wistman wood (or rather looked into it from a respectful distance). Enough to see some nice examples of lychen. Not the most spectacular temperate #rainforest but probably the best known one in this country.

Would be nice for Trump to meet Prince Andrew as part of his official visit and chat about their late friend Epstein

So if I undertlstsnd correctly, I can't use my rights to protest against climate inaction or genocide in Palestine but it's totally OK to be racist, xenophobic and incite to violence?

Working on a commission. Hadn't worked with walnut for quite a while, I love the smell of it and its look even more. #boxmaking #woodwork #handmade

Il y a moins de 3 ans, personne n'utilisait ChatGPT. Aujourd'hui, c'est semble-t-il devenu indispensable pour des millions de Français. Mais à quel prix ? Consommation d'électricité, consommation d'eau, extraction de matières premières... l'intelligence artificielle est un gouffre énergétique.

"Killed by a SUV driver" would be a more accurate title. Unbelievably sad. Brent was a unique musician, one whose sound you recognise straight away and who could not be put in a box. Farewell genius, I'll play you loud as fuck all day. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Seen in Totnes (of course)

Rescued this beauty from a pond in Gloucestershire. A Giant Horntail, also known as a Giant Woodwasp or Greater Horntail (Urocerus gigas) #BUGLIFE

Great to see so many ladybirds this summer #bugs #wildlife

@rspb.bsky.social was enjoying your magazine until I got to this advert. How do you manage to lament the degradation of the natural environment and the impact this has on wildlife and at the same time do the promotion of one of the most polluting and disruptive mode of travel?

@proton.me I like what I'm reading about privacy and putting people first in your products. Not seeing much on your environmental impact though. Can you share data about your carbon footprint as a whole and mine as a user?

How do you ensure a nation fails to cope with drought? Privatise its water system. Almost everyone wants our water renationalised. Almost everyone, that is, except the government. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

We got word from our distributor: Amazon has refused to stream THE INVISIBLE DOCTRINE w/ @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 🤔 We take it as a compliment. You can however watch it on: • Apple TV • Google Play • YouTube Movies • Vimeo

Played citizen scientist for @avonneedstrees.bsky.social yesterday, taking soil samples in the Lower Chew Valley. This will establish a baseline to measure the impact of their landscape recovery projects.

Proud dad moment ##stormcrawler

Enjoyed a very nice walk in Devon this week near Gara Rock. Some majestic #trees on the way back to East Portlemouth

youtu.be/MZ6wvi2FR6U?... Thank you @willdalrymple.bsky.social wise words spoken with great passion 🙏🇵🇸

Congratulations to #ApacheStormCrawler! The vote has passed for graduation from the #ASFIncubator to a top level project! Many thanks to @begemoth.bsky.social, @rzo1.bsky.social, the Apache Incubator mentors and the entire StormCrawler community. Happy crawling! lists.apache.org/thread/yz3jm...

Tree reincarnation by the river Dart

Met this beauty on a walk along the Dart this afternoon. Apparently, a Violet Oil Beetle. #buglife

My faith in humanity was restored this week by this wonderful person who sends #seeds on an open source basis and doesn't ask for payment: just that you either swap, donate or pay it forward. Got wild garlic, will try to harvest seeds and pass them on. www.foodforest.garden/forest-garde...

Had a great day yesterday planting trees with Avon Needs Trees near Bristol. Loads of sunshine, good company and 350 more trees in the ground

Found this book to be a perfect antidote to a very long winter in quite depressing times. Ticks all my boxes: France, food, cycling and humour.

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten. The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning. #NeverForget #NeverAgain

I just chipped in to this crowdfunder to help create a community woodland, restore wetlands and repair rare calcareous grassland near Bath - a great project by Protect Earth, run by the unstoppable @philsturgeon.bsky.social: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/reforestat...

From my news feed yesterday. Sums up things pretty well, doesn't it?

3 day cycling from Bath to Poole, Bournemouth and Salisbury Enjoyed some beautiful landscapes. A balm for the mind and a tonic for the body

#rhododendron in the new forest Pretty. Invasive

Planted my oaks in Tredean woods yesterday. Looking forward to see how they get on

Grew this beauty from an acorn a couple of years ago. Looking forward to connecting it and 3 others to a mycelium network tomorrow in Tredean woods.

Hello Bristol folk, very much looking forward to seeing you on May 14th (next Tuesday), when I'm talking to the great Andrew Kelly at Waterstones. Tackling this question: How can you fight something if you don't know it exists? www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-evening...

Soon climate activists and protestors won’t need to convince people to stop flying. Nature will be doing that for us. Major flood at Salgado Filho Airport due to extreme rainfall in Porto Alegre of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil 🇧🇷 (06.05.2024)
