A ceasefire is no use unless they let food into Gaza, rebuild Gaza and let the Palestinians live free.

In Glengarriff Woods: something sadly rare in my place: old holly trees. This species is super vulnerable to bark-stripping (causing death) by invasive sika deer + goats.
And it's such a shame: despite the lack of epiphytic growths, holly becomes a very special tree as it ages.

I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Important thread on a major trail camera project in Wicklow, with many very valuable findings.
For example: invasive sika deer constituted **over 80%** of the images, showing the huge scale of this problem (feral goats too) - especially for natural ecosystems, but also for human society.

I started Ireland's most ambitious camera trap project in Wicklow as part of the Snapshot Europe initiative ☘️
Since 2021, I have partnered with UCD and ReWild Wicklow - deploying 150 camera traps, collecting ~400,000 photos, and ~31 years worth of survey effort.
2024's details and highlights 🧵👇

If you are cis ("not transgender") I need to explain this to you.
Bluesky today posted this vague thread, announcing-without-spelling-out that they're allowing a writer, net troll and anti-trans activist named Jesse Singal to stay on the platform, despite every trans user saying it makes us unsafe.

In the past month alone, over 12M people joined Bluesky, with daily active users growing 10x. We received more reports in two days than in all of last year, and have integrated new systems and quadrupled our moderation team to try and keep up. Sometimes, we have to work quickly to correct errors.

What if you wake up some day and you’re old and you never got your memoir or novel written, or you didn’t go swimming in that warm water all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen!
