My project Peat Cultures was one of many that were intitiated through National Lottery funding. URGENT: There’s a risk that nature projects will be excluded in future. Here’s a call for UK citizens to write their support for including living heritage: wtru.st/lottery-camp...

Both the government and the Court of Appeal now treat protesters as terrorists and terrorists as protesters. It's hard to accept that a "Labour" government is imposing rightwing authoritarianism on the UK, but please read this column to see what's happening.+🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The right is obsessed with ‘two-tier policing’. This is indeed a two-tier government – but the real victims are progressives, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Peatland Figures taking new shape for Artists Bookmarket in Edinburgh Fruitmarket this weekend. Here some are placed on a soil map of Drenthe (NL) with a background of ‘figures’ (ie scientific illustrations) from a book about the province’s history of peat excavation.

It was the warmest January. Missing the cold, I was pulled uphill today by hoarfrost. Ice crystals lined up on sheep wool on worn-out heather, and walls with lichen in bud. Sun broke through. Hello Bluesky. I look forward to good company on this platform!
