For every grassroots music venue that shuts its doors, around 200 gigs vanish from the map. 200 local shows that don’t happen.

No support slots. No first-stage debuts. No tour dates in your town. No gigs = no future for live music. None of the stuff you love. Simple.

One more way in which the neoliberal university model is failing us
Plant taxonomy is disappearing - and so is our ability to protect species 🍂

Nearly half of countries have fewer than 10 plant taxonomists. Kew is working to close the gap, but we need more experts fast.

1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Over a pint in Oxford, we may have stumbled upon the holy grail of agriculture | George Monbiot
I knew that a revolution in our understanding of soil could change the world. Then came a eureka moment – and the birth of the Earth Rover Program, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.

The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.

And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

The UK must follow Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia’s lead and boycott Eurovision.

We cannot have “business as usual” with Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

I'm really not a fan of the term "local band" - particularly if you're listened to across the world.

We won't be able to keep ignoring the climate crisis when crop failures truly hit. We take hope from the growing movement of people who are already choosing to confront the truth & live differently and inspire those around them - a cascade of change is coming...

Happy to sign this letter. Sorry that I had to

#AnimalWelfare #AnimalRights #AnimalSentience
The UK claims to lead on animal welfare, yet millions of animals remain trapped in cruel conditions.

Today, I & 36 MPs and Peers urged Defra to include a clear time-bound plan to end all confinement cages and crates in the upcoming Animal Welfare Strategy.

Evangeline, a shaman & musician, hasn’t flown in 11 yrs. She connects with land, ancestors & local ecosystems, travelling slowly by train or in the UK. Flying feels unnatural; slow travel deepens connection & respects nature. 🌿🚆 #FlightFree #SlowTravel
