This was great. Makes me want to create my own wee mini native rainforest in the garden. So much to think about, not only rewilding but how its all linked to politics, food, history & capitalism. Thanks @irishrainforest.bsky.social & Aoife de Bhal for excellent start to @niscifest.bsky.social
I'll be heading north next week to speak about Irish rainforests in Belfast + Derry at the @niscifest.bsky.social
The Belfast event is already sold out, and Derry is fast heading in the same direction. So don't delay booking your tickets!!

Time for us women to put our feet up & let everyone else do the work.
And bite our tongues when they get it all completely wrong.

Absolutely furious with myself that I didn't take my son to Kneecap last night. I thought I was too old and he was too young but fuck it, we should have gone. The videos are magic and I am buzzing everyone had a good time.
