It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

Is that β€˜found’ as in they had died there and may have intended to travel further, or is the southern dot where they spend the winter before returning?

It’s an easy choice, Ireland. Do you want a President with intelligence, integrity and grace, or a representative of the landlord ruling class who care nothing for ordinary people’s lives?
There really is only one option. #twip

A brilliant piece by @ellamcsweeney.bsky.social in the @irishtimes.com this morning highlights the lack
of enforcement of environmental legislation.

North Cork Creameries (a member of Bord Bia’s Origin Green programme) has been issued with 125 non-compliance notices since 2020.

Blue-green algae: Lough Neagh 'already dead', says fisherman Dozens of protestors gathered to voice their concerns over a perceived lack of action on Lough Neagh.

"To me, personally, the lough is dead. It's not dying, it is dead."

Realistically, nobody seems to care"

- how will we explain to future generations that we allowed this to happen?

Hey #CriticalAnimalStudies people. I’m looing for a nice academic source that argues that our failure to see nonhuman animals as sentient individuals is a major cause of the ecological crisis or that the only way to solve the crisis is to recognise them as such, or something to that effect?

This very short video by @ethicalfarmie.bsky.social clearly shows the horrors of #LiveExport. Young Irish bulls are still being subjected to this and even shipped outside the EU where the EU 'protections' don't apply.
This needs to end now!

New Study Links Eating Chicken to Higher Death Risk New research finds eating over 300g of chicken a week raises mortality riskβ€”by up to 61% in menβ€”sparking fresh concern over poultry.

Virtually all chickens are bred to grow grotesquely large, kept indoors in crammed conditions their whole lives, killed as babies in the most gruesome way at a rate of 140 birds or more per minute. For the planet and for all animals boycott animal ag. #vegan

Bonobos use a kind of syntax once thought to be unique to humans The way bonobos combine vocal sounds to create new meanings suggests the evolutionary building blocks of human language are shared with our closest relatives
