It's very difficult to look at this stuff, but of course that doesn't change the reality we face. We must radically, universally, transform the system -- and there are many ways of being part of the shift. With friends, family, communities, groups. Get out there and do it.

1) What a wonderful day of wildlife watching near Plymouth. To learn why the incredible bluefin tuna have migrated to UK seas and also much more, read this thread. It is vital to understand the reason for their recent appearance. See 2

This thread is the reason that posts and conversations about biodiversity and conservation are so important: 13,000 people liked a thread that is celebrating species extinction and environmental destruction. It’s just so disappointing.

The Victorians screwed us up in lots of ways - from attitudes to sex, to destroying Britain's uplands in the name of driven grouse shooting. Some dinosaurs can't let them go - but it's time we consigned grouse moors to the dustbin of history. ft.com/content/0cd407…

🔥Heather burning at #Sheffield today ❌ Just to increase grouse numbers ❓What about the health of half a million people downwind

Great article by Miles Richardson prompting us to embrace the shorter days and retune our perceptions, to notice the beauty in the shift toward darker months. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Revealed: tax loophole exempts 355 landowners from inheritance tax - including huge grouse moor estates & pheasant shoots I FOI'd HMRC for details & found this tax break is worth *at least* £68m & likely far more Rachel Reeves please fix this! 1/ theguardian.com/money/2024/oct…

As context for the debate over Agricultural Property Relief, let's remember that: - Just 20 Dukes own almost 1 MILLION ACRES of Britain - Whilst 59% of farms in England are less than 123 acres (50ha) in size

There are days when #Dartmoor reminds you what it’s good at! This how you can get turned around up on the hill and how quickly you can get ‘mazed’ or ‘pixie led’. Oddly enough we didn’t manage to gather the sheep today!!!

1. A few days ago, I wrote a thread about the pros and cons of staying on this platform and asked for your views. They were very helpful. As a result, I’ve decided to stop using X from January 20. Already I’m mostly posting now on BlueSky (@georgemonbiot.bsky.social) instead.🧵

Hello folks — just to say, in case of interest, that I’m now over on the blue-skied place on the address below. 👇 👇 Orienting myself within that new space; liking who I’ve met & how I’ve met them so far. Coming across yourselves? Maybe see you there?
