Here's where I stick all the social justice and environmental stuff that would bore/piss off my friends on Facebook. See @Botany_Tim for botany tweets

@NellytheWillow Will you be trying Bluesky too? Mastadon never really took off for me.

@saspist @MadelnCanada Oh wow, what a beauty

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

This story is one of the most disturbing I've ever covered. It's about how the views of a deeply weird ideological sect affected science, medicine and the media, with devastating impacts on patients. Please read and pass on. This horror has to stop. https://t.co/qVjkbiGQY3

Well, that’s not at all worrying 😲

Noticed a rather odd look to the sky today?

Wildfire smoke originating from North America, has turned the sky white and hazy in some areas, rather than blue.

This may give a more vibrant sunset tonight and give an orange tinge to the almost full moon 🌕

Devon has lost the scone wars.

Basically everywhere in Britain uses the 'Cornish method' (i.e. jam first). Even in Devon itself, only 49% use the 'Devon method' (i.e. cream first), while 46% go jam first

Yep, this definitely didn’t go where I was expecting, but it's one of the best threads I’ve read on Twitter

[Rosie Holt @RosieisaHolt]

Have you had to have THE TALK yet?

@Trichocolea Interesting thread, thanks for putting it together

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

The >60,000 people who took to the streets at #RestoreNatureNow yesterday gained minimal press coverage compared to the 2 people who sprayed paint powder on stonehenge

This is why we take disruptive action

This is the Activist's Dilemma

[Stephen Fisher @SeaSpitfires]

This is not an attempt to justify what happened at Stonehenge today, or even to change anyone’s mind about it. I’d simply like to add some context that I feel has been missing from some reports, statements and tweets.

@ArianeSherine Such sad news. My condolences to you & your family

[Tim Purches @TimPurches]

@ArianeSherine So sorry to hear this. It must be a very difficult time for you and your family

[Tim Purches @TimPurches]

@Richard1483 @MKPurches Fascinating! Thanks

“Trust me, I have a plan” says man who didn’t think to take an umbrella with him when giving an important speech outside, even though it was already raining.
