Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

The steadily growing population of rare lesser horseshoe bats in the shed (roughly 100) attests to the level of flying insect life in the forest outside, since each bat catches around 3,000 per night.

Healthy nature depends on healthy, wild, functioning *ecosystems*.

Rewilding delivers that. 🌏

Great looking pot😍

So I hear it's national poetry day
And really, don't we all, in a way,
Have poets inside us with something to say?
They have to whisper from deep in the heart
Our innermost thoughts transformed into art
Or those two fuckin wolves will hear them and rip them apart.

How about a walk at Derrigimlagh Bog in Connemara? This haunting landscape of blanket bog is full of stories.

It was also the site where pioneering aviators Alcock and Brown crash-landed, successfully completing the world's first non-stop transatlantic flight.

Following in the footsteps of Polish cities embracing adaptions of the Dutch woonerf ("living street"; see also Kraków, Łódź, and Sopot), Warsaw's Chmielna is undergoing a people-, planet-, and profit-friendly makeover that restores its function as a lively spine running through the capital’s core.🧵

So about those ideas to ban social media... Politicians in Nepal tried doing that. The result? Riots erupted. Total chaos. Parliament was set on fire, but there's much more.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life.

This searing essay from Ahmed Ibsais deserves the widest possible circulation in Western media newsrooms and what's left of schools of journalism with any intellectual integrity.

Some news from me, thanks to a team of super activists who have been working for months, the biggest flotilla to try and break the siege on Gaza is leaving on Aug 31st. I'm proud to be going on it and obviously nervous. We'd love if you'd follow globalsumudflotilla.org #FromEveryRiverToEverySea
