Living with a (now) healthy rainforest ecosystem, and knowing its biological diversity and abundance, it's impossible not to be deeply impacted by the contrast in any Irish upland. These places were mostly similarly covered in forest, and only taxpayer subsidised sheep prevent its natural return.

The goal of Project 2025 - now being implemented by the Trump regime - is to destroy modern America & replace it with a Theocracy, according to @hcrichardson.bsky.social and many other scholars. If you don’t know it, please look up Project 2025 tracker. #resist #broligarchy #techbros #theobros

Early. Just to mix it up a bit. Quick question: What’s the difference between a marine biologist and a dog? One tags a whale and the other wags a tail! 😂🐳🐶🙄 What? What? That’s what happens when I’ve time on my hands. I’ll be in the corner! …tags a whale, wags a tail.. 😂😂 #bees #nature

What if time wasn't linear (haha) and our childhood yearnings to "become" are really a sense of certainty sent from ourselves, drawing us forward. Draw me a road to walk on, to meet others, to witness, to read the books that will write us and write the books we needed.

A tiny, round bird with soft pale gray plumage perched on a thin brown stem. Its fluffy feathers give it an almost spherical appearance as it grips the slender branch with delicate feet. The bird's small black beak and dark eye stand out against its light-colored face, and it appears to be resting quietly while maintaining perfect balance.
