Smash things up and they remain smashed
No amount of offsetting damage can fully fix broken.

Loss in a landscape
Swift (3)
Roofing slate with gold.
Unfinished because I now have to face smashing it so I can then hold its broken shards up to the light.
I don’t want to
It’s beautiful
But it needs to be destroyed…
Just like the uk government is doing to nature
Damage done needs facing.

God, #waxcaps are just fabulous aren’t they?
And if their grasslands get damaged they are gone. Like ‘20 years for partial recovery but maybe no coming back’ gone
Makes me both full of awe (that they still exist at all, let alone in number) and so bloody scared for their future

I’ve written a thing again
This time about ‘nature’
Not the thing (whatever that is) but the word.
I propose we stop using it and get a bit sharper with what we are trying to say…
And yes, I know that’s unhinged.

Signs of recovery
These babies are from one of our hardest worked fields.
A field that may not have been intensified as fully as most but still was pumped up with fertilisers.
Four years ago we had one species of waxcaps, (Snowy One of the toughest) return
Then parrot and meadow
And now…
More!

A small tirade against half-arsed language.
In which I propose we all stop using the woolly and indistinct word #nature and see how that changes how we think about our world
And yes, I know it’s not sensible, but… it’s maybe worth mulling over…

Seriously how hard is it to say “This is an outrageous attack on our friends and neighbours who are in this country legally and have followed all the rules to get settled status, who are valued members of our communities, get to fuck frog-face”?
Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”.
So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

Sure signs of autumn on our place.
If you farm livestock in a very low impact way you get all kinds of good stuff*
All I need now is the waxcaps!! (Which are slow to show this year here)
*you may need to wait a few decades for the results but it’s worth it!

I’m drawing some pretty bleak conclusions about this
I used to believe that ‘the truth’ mattered in science and that if evidence was presented conclusions could be adjusted,

Made with rubbish
Graphite shavings and packing paper from a parcel
The desire to use my hands to shape the wings of the birds swept over me as I tidied the table. I’d sharpened a graphite pencil, its shavings tipped onto the waste paper. They felt under my fingers unmanageable

The wood edged fields are worth their weight in gold in the summer, especially in a dry hot summer
For all the talk about how bad livestock is this is pretty much perfect
Land use layered
Food and nature, in the same place at the same time, complementing each other

From my own academic research, even pre LLMs there was a huge danger of zombie factoids that begin in a respectable publication by mistake and then get reprinted for decades because no one is backtracing to the original source. Once bad info gets into the system it can take years to clear it out.
I've seen numerous examples of this in recent days - we're at a point where some reporters are using LLMs as a source and not even remotely properly factchecking, but also where LLM generated material is making its way into other material and being unknowingly reproduced by others.

Gaza is facing a human made, hate filled genocide. It’s obscene.
And yet people are floating plastic bottles into the Mediterranean Sea, filled with air, rice or lentils and hope they will find the hungry.

Peat map!
The reply to the reply to the reply to the query about why the map is SO RUBBISH
Apparently the map is good and also bad, fit for purpose yet also not, without robust surveys (by us? Unpaid?) my concerns will and also will not lead to the map being changed…
