It says a lot about our new President that one of her first public events was with @antaisce.bsky.social to highlight our climate challenge and the need for climate justice 👏

Will be talking about this study later this morning on East Coast FM.

Remember that a 2019 study found that most of the deadly plastic is the sea is from abandoned or lost fishing gear.

Study measures how much plastic is lethal for marine life
Marine animals inevitably eat what we toss in the ocean, including pervasive plastics - but how much is too much?

Probably unpopular opinion, but if Literature only makes you *feel* (and usually only happy) and not *think* especially from an imperializing nation, you stand to become numb to the world around you because stories have a unique way of making statistics and events more real to you. #WritingCommunity

Great work from Carol Cadwaller again. Ahead of the news cycle with her finger on the pulse.
NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market.

Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please.

Yesterday, we marched alongside inspiring organisations and individuals at the National Climate March, urging the Irish Government to deliver a just climate-action policy and phase out fossil-fuel power.

Showing up. Speaking up. It matters.

Let’s keep going!

Climate action = health action!

Need a little inspiration?
I just jumped onto @arraynow.bsky.social site & watched the trailer for Roll With Me directed by Lisa France.
Array has an incredible catalogue of groundbreaking inspiring (i.e not boring basic hollywood white saviour) films. Get your fix.

Upcoming class with me. I should’ve called it “rehumanising the online space”.
Since 2020 I’ve found lots of techniques&tricks for online forums to make them more human, less awkward &more interactive.
If you struggle to present/host/manage, come along.
