Join our BES workshop on Movement Ecology & Rewilding
As Rewilding seeks to create more natural ecosystems
An understanding of the Movement Ecology of species becomes central
Yet the 2 research areas are not well linked
We aim to address that!

A tweet by @jimmycamp1 reads: "Reading @GregIles 'Southern Man.' This is the best, single paragraph I've read that succinctly breaks down the reasons for the rise of Donald Trump." Below the tweet is a photo of a book excerpt. The paragraph begins: "I watched in disbelief as businessmen voted for a repeat bankrupt, laborers for a boss infamous for stiffing his workers, evangelicals for a serial adulterer, women for an admitted sexual assaulter, patriots for a draft dodger who would sell his countryโs secrets for trivial gain, educated men for an ignoramus. But they did so with fierce gladness in their hearts. Because what their chosen one had done was open Pandoraโs boxโyes, the old one, filled with the ancient calamities of race hatred and rage and cruelty and bloodlust and infinite greedโand tell them that these things were the remedy for all their grievances, that all their anger was justified, and most important: None of what ailed them was their own faultโor ever had been.
They took to that like infants to a honeyed tit."
I saw this and thought it was great.
Then I saw that there was no ALT text, so Iโm reposting it with the ALT.

I have repeated text messages allegedly from the HR dept of some outfit called Tribe, saying that having reviewed my CV they have positions I would be interested in. Which is puzzling, seeing as my CV is not available anywhere that I know of.

When people obsess about certain species โcausingโ environmental problems
It is worth remembering that human actions are the ultimate cause of ecological degradation
These species are not intrinsically problematic
We need to cure the disease rather than treat the symptoms

I donโt think we will survive it. One way or another these morons will kill us all. I just live in hope most of the rest of the (entirely blameless) species on the planet will somehow carry on and thrive once we are gone. Go well, little ones.
