A quick heads up: Interrail’s running a 25% off sale. If you’re looking for alternatives to flying, this is one of the easier switches. www.interrail.eu/en #TravelTips #BudgetTravel

How is it acceptable to ship 2900 cows, half of those pregnant, from Uruguay to Turkey to be slaughtered?! I'm at loss for words at humans' lack of empathy for "the other", be it human or non-human. #animalrights #antispeciesism #animalliberation news.sky.com/story/strand...

The indifference of media and politics towards the possibility of the #AMOC shutting down shocked me when I first studied it. With time and study, I became less naive (or more disillusioned). So, I'm glad that #Iceland has declared it a real, existential risk. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/15/c...

Since I quit most social media, I've been wanting to create a website from scratch, but I never got to finish it. I recently stumbled upon the #smallweb or #indieweb movement, and it felt like finding my people! The web feels exciting again!

Big Meat is following Big Oil’s playbook—funding science, shaping narratives, and deflecting blame. Chapter 4 of “Climate Obstruction” reveals how PR + media framing obscure corporate responsibility for emissions. Read: cssn.org/news-researc...

I filmed this pig staring at me he arrived at a slaughterhouse. His eyes. The fear. The terror. 💔 Don't let his death be in vain.

Read the full investigation by @greymoran.bsky.social:

#Italy: We strongly condemn the car bomb attack on one of Italy’s leading investigative journalists and his family, Sigfrido Ranucci. Report journalist has been living under police protection since 2010. Recently, he had reported a series of threats, including P38 bullets found outside his house.

Attentato a Sigfrido #Ranucci: i giornalisti scomodi sono un bersaglio. E allora è il caso di ricordare ancora una volta una cosa non scontata: tutti devono difendere la libertà di informazione e la libertà per Sigfrido, comprese tutte le istituzioni.

I don't get to write about a lot of good news, but this is a really big deal — the global fur industry has collapsed over the last decade. My rundown on the numbers and how it unfolded: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

“While Mayor, I was often asked ‘how have you been able to afford bike-lanes in #Copenhagen?’ I’d reply, ‘how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructure… bicycling.’” — @mortenkabell.bsky.social

New study connects the dots between eating less meat and safer drinking water. Fertilizer runoff from livestock feed is contaminating U.S. groundwater. www.anthropocenemagazine.org/?p=238144

Can we change our trajectory and live within #planetaryboundaries? Yes, but we have to act as soon as possible to implement the Paris climate agreement, shift to a healthier diet (EAT-Lancet), improve food and resources efficiency, consume less. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The History of 'Plant-Based Meat' Is plant-based 'meat' a new concept? Absolutely not! But it is the future! Voiced by Robbie Lockie.

It’s not exactly revelatory to say that slaughterhouses cause pain; they’re killing factories, after all. But the scope of this pain, and the number of animals and people it impacts, isn’t immediately apparent.

Extremely low sea ice levels in the Arctic and Antarctica signal a "new normal" that may accelerate global warming and disrupt ocean currents, on top of the consequences for people and wildlife that rely on the ice

"We found that observing unnecessary high-carbon behaviour demotivates people and reduces the sense of collective effort that is essential for a successful societal response to climate change." - great article and research by @steveclimate.bsky.social #unsustainablecelebrities #climateaction

I haven't logged in in a while, been quite busy with these beauties. #natureconnection #natureconnectedness #forestbathing #urbannature #biophilia

Do people feel they can go #green at work? Our colleagues Brian Wagner, Ellen van der Werff and Linda Steg have a new paper out about what motivates employees to act pro-environmentally while doing their jobs. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Simply magnificent!

Hi! I am looking for #NorthernLights chasers and photographers for tips on the best places to see #AuroraBorealis in Scandinavia. Get in touch if interested or if you know someone who could be interested! #NaturePhotography #Scandinavia #Norway #Finland #Sweden #AuroraChasers

Mark Honigsbaum, a medical historian and author of Pandemic Century, says: “Why are they becoming more frequent? Well, the simple answer is, it’s because of the way we humans settle and colonise larger and larger areas of the planet.” www.theguardian.com/environment/... #Anthropocene

My adventures in #natureconnectedness continue, just not on social media! Armed with my humble but trusted feature phone, I am determined to get out as often as possible and document random nature encounters. I will upload the photos on my website teraga.me/seeking-urba.... #natureconnection

Always worth watching the NASA spiral. Beautiful and terrifying.

My WTF moment of 2024: my partner bought this record thinking it was an 80s metal band. We put the record on and find a Soviet reworked version of @thecure.com's "Kyoto Song" @robert.thecure.com in it. That was quite unexpected! @craigatcof.bsky.social #thecure youtu.be/s8cNZTAdXhY?...

Fireworks are yet another expression of humans' inability to consider the needs of the vulnerable (be it human or non-human). Why not replace them with kinder alternatives (light shows, for example) instead of keeping idiot and damaging habits alive? #NoFireworks

An uplifting encounter. #UrbanNature #NatureConnectedness #WildCity

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

When the city feels cold and grey, look down 🌱 #UrbanNature #NatureConnectedness

If you’re planning to take part in Veganuary, our researchers want to hear from you. They're looking for people to sign up for a study in December so that they can compare habits and attitudes before and after the meat-free month. brnw.ch/21wPnPc #ExeterESI

Are you a PhD student interested in the psychology of human-animal relations? Consider applying to the EASP Summer School blogs.kent.ac.uk/easp2025/ Our workstream focuses on the social & moral psych of human-animal relations & animal product consumption; w/ Emma Alleyne & @chopwood.bsky.social

Living with cats is a delight until you have to shove a pill into their throat. Then, it becomes carnage (for my poor hands). Luckily, the vet suggested the burrito technique.

A bear has been killed in Italy. Again. I wrote some reflections about human-bear conflicts and populist parties weaponising people's fear of wild animals to gain votes. I also found a handy guide to bear encounters. teraga.me/2024/12/02/e...

"A printed #book is a living animal with flesh of paper and ink of blood." "What makes the book perfect (...) is their ability to [allow you to] disconnect." #authors #books #reading lithub.com/in-praise-of...

I recently took an online course on #natureconnectedness offered by @DerbyUni's @findingnature.bsky.social, and I am now committed to pause and notice those little pockets of urban nature as often as possible. This is encounter n.1. #urbannature #dumphonephotography #naturejournalling
