I remain @ginbat on Insta, though use it more as a photo diary. Rights of Rivers? In the UK, a highly Anthropocentric construction (where are the "boundaries", eh), void of imagination, advocated by lawyers. But hey progress. #EthicsOfCare #Ecofeminism #Ignored

I suspect UK thunderstorm surveillance reports will show record ground strikes this year. Screenshot via lightningmaps.org

The "Foreign Office" wants to ask Israeli representatives questions about the torturous treatment of illegally arrested citizens on the high seas. Where is Kier Starmer PM?

A screenshot of Channel 4 News Insta report on the Foreign Office requesting a meeting with Israeli State representatives, with a still image of Itamer Ben-Gvir holding an Israeli flag at a detention centre for flotilla activists. My comment below asking why Kier Starmer, once specialist in international humanitarian law, is not himself enforcing those laws.

Gnarly oak trees cling to a steep slope carpeted in a *mist* of bluebells.

RE Norway and the disbanding of Ethics oversight to protect Big Tech: www.ft.com/content/f6b3... I posted to my LinkedIn connections and followers, nearly all academics involved in planetary sustainability, one way or another.

My commentary on an FT article about Stolenberg's decision to disband the Ethics Committee that oversees Norwegian state "oil fund" investments.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... #BeingHuman My first, and probably only, comment on YouTube. Whistling into the vast, empty winds of #SocialMedia

A long comment describing cooperation as the major factor in human evolutionary success, and criticising the use of De Courbertain's modern Olympics as an icon of human "nature" being biologically competitive to the extreme.

Yet farmers near me are not adapting because the markets aren't adapting because consumers are not encouraged to adapt because mainstream politics is either eco-illiterate or in utter denial or both. #arable #farming #soils #drought #evaporation #StormRunOff #rivers #ecology #climate

Meanwhile, here are some fabulously mysterious cone in cone structures I am finding in boulder clay or washed out from early Ordovician bedrock here at our temporary home near Much Wenlock.

A little pile of strange "fossil-like" rocks sit on a wooden picnic table top.

The Symialarity is "similar" to the state of the biosphere before Western human value and hierarchical systems were widely imposed at scale, but retaining "fluministic" or sensitive technologies that aid wellbeing for all, preventing the Sixth Extinction from continuing.

Hello worm holes (about 1m below the usual surface of the field). Soil/subsoil is only between 1-2 ms deep before significant glacial till/old river pebbles and bed rock beneath. Local bore holes have roughly described depths. Notice how deep the plough furrows go.

A heron has also been investigating!

A new river "braid" cut about 50cm-1m deep across a ploughed field. Heron foot prints in a row across the mud.

I found a little badister along the lane. I was a out of breath from a brisk walk, so dubbed the clip with samsung's "iconic". :) #coleoptera #groundbeetles #WhitcliffeFormation #FossilHunting #TeamTeme

Sold at the Lion Ballroom Christmas Fair! Boxing Hares, Bartonsham Meadows, 2022. A3 print, by me. Joy to illustrate my forays in old dairy fields left fallow along the #RiverWye between Hereford Cathedral & the town sewage works (!), that have since become protected "rhos" meadows! #nature

An illustrative artwork is displayed on a tripod stand. Two boxing Hares upstanding in a water meadow full of wildflowers, with 4 tall lombardy poplars in the distance under a sunset sky.

The good news is that the pair of swans on the developing oxbow are content. All their young, bar the one that sadly perished late summer, have flown. #rivers #rivering #RiverLove

Eerie light above a developing oxbow lake, misty turquoise water, but a pair of white swans, facing one another, glow in the moonlight in front of a dark wall of autumnal trees in shadow.

A little illustration of mine. Thinking of using for my literature PhD. I know it's not the done thing, but...should I? #Rivering #Flow #Fluminism #PhD #Literatue #Art

Pen and ink illustration of a "flow" of river life, a colourful swirl, from diatoms to tree roots, lichens to an otter, pearl mussels to dipper, salmon to arthropods. Signed by me.
