If you're looking for more meaningful Christmas presents, make sure to consider @thinkorswim.bsky.social's recently bublished book Lie of the Land: a gripping, vital read.
Delighted to announce that my first book, THE LIE OF THE LAND, is due for publication on September 4th next via @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social.
It's a frank assessment of Ireland and the #Climate emergency, with a roadmap towards a more food and energy-secure future.

It’s worth reminding ourselves that there is a scientific consensus around the climate science.
Scientists are as certain of the blanket of human caused emissions wrapped around the earth as they are that gravity is real or that the earth is round.

Particularly with my being a mother,but even before,I am continually dumbfounded by the utter lack of concern among older generations for the lives of the young.It is a sad world we've made in which legions of elders don't genuinely give a toss about their children's and grandchildren's futures.

@consilium.europa.eu: A climate-safe future isn’t a debate, it’s a right! You promised action in Paris, now you back polluters & deniers? We’re done waiting. Your empty promises fuel our anger. Work harder, NOW! #Climate Action #NoMoreExcuses share.greens-efa.eu/s/KrktdZmI

I want to be a person who makes others feel like they're safe instead of a person around whom you can't let your guard down. How about if we made that cool again?

To be misunderstood, railed at, slandered, and assaulted, and still smile gently and be ready to open your arms softly to take them into your bosom. To be above revenge and bitterness. THAT is a force to be reckoned with. There's a power that can BEGIN to shift the trajectory of the world.

Sometimes, I wonder if the majority of our problems couldn't be solved through intensive therapy for all the angry and fragile egos of the world.

To those #anarchists who take issue with my use of the word "power". How exactly do you leverage a #revolution sans #empowerment? A #rigidradicalism that preoccupies itself with #semantics to the degree that it loses sight of reality will not get us past this #apocalypse.

Nobody ever needs #peat from this rare and fast-disappearing ecology. Hard to believe peat is still legally sold here. Whole horticultural businesses flourish without it. Never ever buy peat products.
Absolutely unsurprising. Virtually all exported too – and I'm guessing most of it ends up in compost bags in garden centres.
Whether you're in Ireland, the UK or elsewhere – always, always buy peat free compost. Kill this destructive market.
