North Belfast dad of 3. Not much of a Tweeter.

I’ve intentionally only shared color photos of my father today.

It wasn’t that long ago…

And if we don’t #ShiftTheCulture, we will digress further into legislation that denies the existence of discrimination and, therefore, makes way for racist, unjust practices.

We are in a time of unprecedented ecological crisis. Animals large and small are declining everywhere. It is time to make small sacrifices to help the natural world survive and thrive. If you're lucky enough to own some garden space, here's a thread on things you can do help...

@oharamal Big loss for North Belfast 💚

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

I have so many questions. How will this scale? How will it taste? But still a very thought-provoking two minutes from @GeorgeMonbiot, and I say that as someone quite wary of tech-solutions. Animal agriculture is ~15% of the climate crisis and needs to end.

🦺 Louise, 24: “I'm here because I don't have a future. You might hate me for doing this, but I wish you would direct all that anger and hatred at our Government. They are betraying young people like me — I wouldn't have to be here if they did their duty.”

This is one of the funniest pieces of live radio you’ll ever hear. And the animation adds an extra layer. #Radio #GerryAnderson

Mass extinction by 2100 - 2300 looms?

Relax.

[Extinction Rebellion Global @ExtinctionR]

Any fool in >40°C heat can see that 2050 is too late for net zero.

[Double Down News @DoubleDownNews]

The UK just announced it's first ever Red Extreme Heat Warning.

@GeorgeMonbiot on how this is just the tip of the iceberg

Here they go. This is how they start. Subtle to begin with, but it will grow. It’s what they do.

@richardosman Not necessarily my final answer but first 3 that came to mind:

Hoppipolla- Sigur Ros
Seven Nation Army- The White Stripes

We could blame the people for spectacular breaches of the lockdown and the major health hazard they present.
Or we could see that when millions of people are doing the same thing, something systemic is going wrong. In this case, the government's disastrous, confusing messaging.
