Dear friends - many of you reached out with words of solidarity and a question "what can I do?". Here are some (rather simple and straightforward) ways you might want to #StandWithUkraine: 1/4

[Olga Burlyuk @OBurlyuk]

Ways to DONATE TO SUPPORT UKRAINE - a list with options for any preference: army, women, children, IDPs, ... #StandWithUkraine

@MrAndrewCotter Layla decided to stick two paws in the air this time 😂

[Irma Arts @irm_arts]

@Rosie_Baillie_ In my own research some of my participants did mention looking at social media, would be very interested in hearing what you found!

[Irma Arts @irm_arts]

@Rosie_Baillie_ I clicked no, because I don't look at social media. But will look at google maps sometimes (or just google places), and for walks it is always walkhighlands. And I also still have old fashioned travel guides.

[Irma Arts @irm_arts]

@Rosie_Baillie_ @dougwj Might have some suggestions, will send them to you in the weekend, at the moment travelling around the Netherlands :)

@EricavonE @pgkeil When I was in Bulgaria they had feeding stations, away from tourists, for the vultures. The wolf would usually come first to rip the carcass apart, then the vultures could dive in. Probably other species join in as well. There were 3 types of vultures, all with their own niche

@improveurcoffee At the moment it is only available in "early view" on the website and not yet included in an issue. I am not sure whether physical copies are made @PaN_BES?

An excellent "rant", close to my heart

A(nother) ranty thread! High profile media coverage of 'conservation' below.....but of a campaign, @rwritextinction which I fear may ultimately do more harm than good in its approach https://t.co/o9rIElZGVp (1/9)

[Irma Arts @irm_arts]

@EricavonE @digicologies @DrJamesStinson @TickleLara @finnarne This one definitely features in the PhD! Very good read

[Irma Arts @irm_arts]

@AHMJebb1 Or go to a cafe. I really like the background noise for writing, and you can treat yourself for lunch after! I'm back in Aberdeen 6th of September, happy to share a session! :)

[Irma Arts @irm_arts]

@AHMJebb1 One sentence at a time, even if it is a bad one, just write it down.
It also helped me to join writing sessions (sbs wednesday morning one for example!), or set a timer for 45 minutes to write anything down and then take 10/15 minute break
