My natural history book of the year is ‘Urban Plants’ by @trevorthebotanist.bsky.social
Informative, entertaining and inspiring - after reading it you will never walk down a street, pass by a wall or look at a grass verge in the same way again. Highly recommended @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments:
One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

Centuries of overgrazing & muirburn for grouse moors mean Highland Scotland looks treeless & desolate. But it doesn't have to be this way. New film Scotland's Missing Forests went online y'day. Chuffed to see almost 10k views. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuTV... @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

This is super interesting but sadly behind paywall - can someone share? I thought I was perimenopausal, turns out I was very much hypothyroid. Correct medication made a huge difference.
Many of the signs of perimenopause can also be symptoms of other conditions, and some of these get increasingly dangerous if they’re misdiagnosed
Everything is perimenopause now – but what if it’s not?

Currently very cross with Elmore Leonard for killing off the character I expected to ride into the sunset with their newfound love. And I've got another of his books waiting to be read! I won't open it for at least 2 days. That will teach him. (I won't last that long. I love his writing very much.)

When offered a choice of bowls, free-ranging dogs in India tend to approach a yellow one much more than blue or grey

In Hungarian, if you bring home your packed lunch, you would say it was "seen by a bird", and I like that phrasing very much. We all need more magical forest thinking.

We went to see the plastic food model exhibition at Japan House on Sunday and loved it very much. It’s free, you just need to book. Go early so there are no queues at the self assembly bento area, perfect for your Insta feed.
