Sooooo, 98by30 then? Time to dissolve the nation states, unionise the corporations, turn them into massive coops, and expand autonomus mutual aid networks, methinks.

"Why insects are so crucial to life on Earth"

BBC - Nature and Us.
Prof Dave Goulson (Professor of Biology at University of Sussex)

A fact-filled 5min talk with lovely animation. (It's a catastrophe!)

I've had dreams/visions of the coming times... What the Hopi referred to as #PurifcationDay. Will you defend #MotherEarth? If I am to sacrifice myself for a single cause, it would be to defend #LifeOnEarth. It is the one thing I know for certain....

"I wanna be a witness
Or a victim to your spell
Crackling in lightening
Dressed in shadows
Red like a carousel

I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
... Cuts through

"Will you lay all of your
Deepest wildest secrets bare?
Will you let all of those
Rumbling old gods take rage?
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through!

"Then I was taken smoothly
By the vulture of the soul
That hideous strength
That numbs the tongue
And he led me like a cinder
Through the fields of hell
To doubt my friends and to hate myself
But when my savage earth heart
... Cuts through"
- Michael Scott, The Waterboys, 1985

This song has been bringing tears to my eyes. It WAS a wonderful world -- but we f*cked it up!

"I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Ooh, yes"

- #LouisArmstrong, 1967

"There's life out there, but not as we know it!"

Researchers poring over imagery and data from the Perseverance rover on Mars have found evidence of organic molecules in the planet’s Jezero Crater, potentially providing evidence of the planet’s carbon cycles and its ability to host life.

Insects are not just annoying. They’re essential. A new study reveals that the climate crisis is driving insects to higher altitudes, threatening their survival and the ecosystems they support. Insects pollinate plants, decompose organic matter, and feed other animals. Without them, life on Earth would collapse. We need to act now to save our insects and our planet.

Scientists Discover Ancient 'Lost World' That Rewrites History of Life on Earth
The remains of a "lost world" of ancient organisms that are likely ancestors to all plants and animals, including humans, have finally been detected.

I’ve a great story for #WidlifeWins this #Sunday!

Today is all about rivers and how one particular #river was revitalised with life after work was carried out to ‘rewiggle’ the river to better reflect it’s natural trajectory.

The river in question is Swindale Beck. Two centuries ago, local residents straightened the river to speed the flow of water and to increase the amount of farmland around it. However, this move had unintended consequences and resulted in the river flowing too quickly for #salmon and #trout to spawn.

Fortunately in 2016, the RSPB (and its partners), began a project to reintroduce the natural curves of the river and within three months of doing so both salmon and trout were recorded as having spawned there again.

It was an expensive project and highlights the drastic impacts humans have had on nature through environmental change but also demonstrates that such impacts can be reversed and we can help #nature thrive again!

The public should boycott this series until the @bbc agrees to show all episodes and not just those acceptable to their far-right lords and masters. DA has educated the world for decades. He does not deserve to have his final show censored by the Tory-led BBC.

If SUVs were a country, they would rank as the sixth most polluting in the world.
