This is a great read but I think we have already ran out of the language. I was at an event this week about how to influence Scottish government policy and told don't mention climate change, politicans don't want to hear it because voters don't want to hear it 🤔 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The difference just 4 years can make when land is released from overgrazing.
Nothing was planted here: all these native trees, wildflowers, etc, came naturally, along with loads of butterflies, birds, + other animal life.
THIS is how we reverse nature loss. #Rewilding 🌍

A great explanation of what is going on with the attacks on Kneecap if you need it. The only thing I would add @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social is that protest has always been dangerous in the north of Ireland and the RUC also stood back while protesters were beat up. Which makes Kneecap even braver ✊️
New podcast. I speak about Kneecap as art, the new dangers of protest, and the Irish revolutionary tradition of art, protest and solidarity. Dog Bless 🇵🇸🇮🇪 open.spotify.com/episode/2KNY...

There appears to be a meeting in Govan on the 15th April at the Pearce Institute to discuss plans for cycle infrastructure in the local area. I think it's important that those who cycle in the area or would like to, are represented. I'm hopefully going. Would be good to see you there. 👍
