We need to save wild places. To save our own souls. To preserve our understanding of what it means to be a resident of this exquisite planet. Photo from spring. Good night all.

Good news: Decades of billionaires factory-farming humans, conditioning us to breed and spend, may soon be over. Bad news: They'll be over because AI will render many of us obsolete, meaning we'll stop buying crap we don't need & we'll be too poor/depressed to enjoy our new-found "leisure" time. 🤦‍♀️

Hey, just when water is about to become critically scarce, let's build thousands of massive AI data centres that use millions of gallons of water per day! But... why would we want AI, then? You don't want it. You don't need it. You didn't choose it. But we'll give it to you anyway. Because profit.

Absolutely spot on. Too many people think humans are completely separate from - and "above" - nature and the natural laws that underpin our survival. Most neither know nor care where their food, water, clothes, furniture, cars & gadgets really come from. Looks like we're going to learn the hard way.

We talk about the climate crisis, the energy crisis, the housing crisis, the food crisis, the pollution crisis, the water crisis... Why won't we talk about the root cause of all of these crises? Pondering the effects and symptoms without addressing the cause will never solve anything. 🤔🤷‍♀️😞

As we have record breaking heat wave after record breaking heat wave, it's comforting that our latest response to climate change has been to rush the construction of a thousand data centers that drink all our water and generate more CO2 than a couple industrial revolutions. JFC.

I'm well aware that I have a one in 8.3 billion chance of getting noticed, but I do try to promote my novel. It seems especially cruel that scammers prey on writers who dream of wider audiences for their work. Even if there WAS a genuine enquiry, nowadays I'd delete it assuming it's spam 😞

Someone I know was attacked last week. He was out riding his pushbike when 3 young adults stopped him & asked for money. When he refused, they beat him up & stamped on him. One of the 3, a girl, then told the others to stab him, so they did. This really got me down. Society is circling the drain. 😞

Niki Baker @nrbakerwriter.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Now we're receiving warnings that AI can perfectly imitate the voices of friends, colleagues & family members, so a call from your spouse, child or workmate could be a scam. We've created a world where trust is obsolete & dangerous, & where genuine human interactions must be tainted with cynicism.

I love your powerful posts, and often repost them, and it's encouraging that they get lots of likes. But however strongly people agree with the need to stop deforestation, what can we actually DO? Avoiding buying certain products etc. is ineffective. What are your thoughts on HOW we stop it? 💚💔

Je suis d'accord avec vous. Mais je crois fermement qu'il est essentiel de protéger ce que nous pouvons encore de la Nature, afin qu'elle ait une chance de se régénérer lorsque la population humaine diminuera 💚 Ce qui me laisse perplexe, c'est ce que nous pouvons faire dans l'Amazonie et le Congo.

The Earth whispers its limits long before it breaks. Floods, heat, vanishing forests. We just stopped listening. Progress that needs an apology from the next generation is not progress at all. A fragile planet in careless hands. That is our real crisis. Respect is the fix. #EarthCare

A couple of days ago, a deer wandered through our wild garden with her 2 fawns in tow. Yesterday, a slow worm slid past me, all silken metallic curves. And tonight, I spotted a glow worm's bright green light, fel magic amid the dark grasses. Man I love #nature 💚💚💚

Today, we experience the storm before the silence. We talk loudly about politics, sports, pets, food and celebrities while we destroy everything that keeps us alive and while we destroy everything that is beautiful and worth living for.

Why are we surprised 😮 when scientific studies prove that animals have intelligence, feel pain, learn, play, and demonstrate emotions? Let's face it, many of them show more compassion, wisdom and decency than humans. We're just too stupid and arrogant to recognise it. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️💚
