My thoughts on the disturbing incident of a young Muslim girl who was racially attacked on Monday after school while walking home in a leafy suburb of Glasgow. I am in disbelief that this is happening in 2025. Everyone has a responsibility to make sure this doesn't become the norm including schools.

The actual bird nerds have long since spoken on this! The Audubon Society supports wind power as a clear net positive for bird populations and biodiversity - w/ targeted protections for a few highly threatened species in a few sensitive geographies (e.g. CA Condors).
Evergreen reminder that wind turbines are not even remotely a leading cause of human-driven bird mortality. This is classic concern trolling in the interest of fossil fuels - if they really cared about birds they'd focus on domestic cats and building glass. And what's not shown here: climate change.

Okay.
But maybe defend authors against tech bro theft.
Maybe re-open libraries.
Maybe don't demonize phones (books are read and listened to on phones as well as other devices).
Otherwise a National Year of Reading will be a publicity stunt with no lasting effect.

When landowners say they it doesn’t matter who owns land but instead it is how it is managed that matters, I always ask if I can have their land & they can continue to manage it. I have had no takers yet.
