A beautiful short film with Dave Goulson. After spending six months bringing the piece of land at my back door into a haven for insects, watching them arrive with awe and wonder this speaks volumes to me and hopefully others. #earthlyeducation #climateaction #davegoulson #kinward #artsandecology

Google announced significant changes to its artificial intelligence policy this week.
This pivot from refusing to build AI for weapons to stating an intent to create AI that supports national security ventures is stark, and it sparks serious human rights concerns.

Government throws climate needs into the fire! Since 2009 this idea has been rising and falling with much hard campaigning against it. This isn’t ‘growth’ it is decay. Decay of planet and all inhabitants. They scratch around for pennies which can’t be spent in a dead world. #heathrowairportexpansion

Absolutely!
"In times of dread, artists must never remain silent. This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That's how civilizations heal."
