yep! a colleague of mine used to feed a raven every day at 16.00. At 16.00 come rain or shine the 🐦‍⬛was there. When she was on vacation, I wanted to fill in for her and feed them but... the raven never showed up. I think maybe they flew past earlier in the day and saw her desk was empty?

raven are smart! Once, as the weather was cold and snow was covering the garden I hang out little nets of seeds for small birds. Many came and pecked and flew off, until a 🐦‍⬛ ripped off the seed net without spilling one single seed & took the whole thing away!!

I don't get to write about a lot of good news, but this is a really big deal — the global fur industry has collapsed over the last decade. My rundown on the numbers and how it unfolded: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Nordic countries hit by ‘truly unprecedented’ heatwave | Climate crisis | The Guardian Scientists record longest streak of temperatures higher than 30C in region in records going back to 1961

"A weather station in the Norwegian part of the Arctic Circle recorded temperatures above 30C (86F) on 13 days in July." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

it'd be interesting Still the impact of a food system rooted in animal exploitation is much broader. Aside from water use & GHG emissions, it pollutes air & water, causes eutrofication & marine dead zones, results in AMR, heightened pandemic risks, human rights violations on ships+ slaughterhouses..

it's been going on since Reagan and Thatcher, all over the world, unfortunately... but yeah there's an acceleration

no, shortening showers or removing lawns will not help with a crisis of this scale. What you choose to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner will.

hi Ed could you send me link to this study pls?

🚨 Oxfam and over 100+ humanitarian organizations, including Save The Children, Amnesty & CARE, sound the alarm: let aid into #Gaza.

Read our joint statement: oxf.am/4o2lY4J

🌍 BREAKING: Climate impunity ends today - by order of the world’s highest court.

The International Court of Justice has spoken:
✅ States are legally obliged to act
✅ Inaction = human rights violation
✅ Polluters must be held accountable

This is a legal revolution for our planet.

"An average of 28 children have been killed each day – the equivalent of an entire classroom. Consider that for a moment. A whole classroom of children killed, every day for nearly two years."

Let the aid in.
Now.

Israel has demolished thousands of buildings across Gaza since it withdrew from a ceasefire with Hamas in March, with entire towns and suburbs levelled in the past few weeks. Reporting from @benedictgarman.com and @matt-murphy96.bsky.social for BBC Verify: www.bbc.co.uk/news/resourc...

burning fossil fuel & exploiting animals for meat & dairy. Even if the world immediately stopped using all fossil fuels, emissions from the global food system alone would make it impossible to limit warming to 1.5°C & difficult to limit it to 2.0.

oh dear. This is a valid reason to skip work you know?

wow congrats on the dissertation AND the cap! what was the topic?

quale futuro per i bimbi di Gaza, cui viene razionato persino il latte nell'incubatrice?

you would not believe it but my cat (orange obviously) absolutely adores olives, he eats them & spits the pit. I was scared the first time he stole one & I tried all tricks to get him to spit it out but nope. I don't think it's healthy for cats but... orange cats are determined!

... if we keep on drilling &... eating/exploiting non-human animals. If you have the privilege to be able to choose your next meal, go vegan

dear #vegans of @bsky.app finally the amazing team of the #plantbased community kitchen in North #Gaza found a way to partially restore their access to water. Please continue to support them so they can provide nutritious, healthy vegan meals to all those on the camp

1/4. “In 2022, explicit #FossilFuel subsidies were over a trillion, with implicit #FossilFuel subsidies being over 6 billion USD…7 billion USD was spent yesterday on oil. And the world will spend another 7 billion tomorrow and the day afterwards... "

Together with our partners, we urge all #EU Member States & the @ec.europa.eu to:

❌halt arms transfers
❌sanction those responsible for ongoing atrocity crimes
❌suspend the trade agreement with Israel

Under the Genocide Convention, EU states are bound to act.

Buddhism is a religion & it aligns with the level of scientific knowledge available at the time. And so, the two statements aren't in contradiction. The essence of Buddhism is unchanged, and it will be taught & transmitted, always, in a way that is appropriate to the audience.

And on she sails!
To see this red dot blinking on my screen is like looking at the heart of humanity on a life support machine.
Go Maidleen, the hopes and eyes of the world are following your journey. May @freedomflotilla.bsky.social reach #Gaza & #BreakTheSiege !

An illustration in warm coral and brown tones showing a peaceful landscape. The scene depicts silhouettes of people and animals coexisting in a natural setting with trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. In the background, tall trees create a canopy while silhouettes show individuals with horses. In the foreground, flowers dot the gentle slopes, and a deer moves through the vegetation. The image includes text reading "LIVING IN HARMONY WITH NATURE" with a subtitle "Embrace interdependence for a peaceful coexistence with all living beings." The IPBES logo appears in the top right corner. The artwork uses a minimalist style with layered shapes to create depth and atmosphere.

🌸 Happy #BiodiversityDay!

@ipbes.net defines living in harmony with nature as living peacefully alongside all organisms, recognizing our interdependence while ensuring sustainability. 💫🧪
