Thoughts on the other species pushed to the edges of the human-dominated landscape. Also hedgerows.

On the left, a healthy, wild(ish) hedgerow, around 10 - 15 years old, western Virginia, May.
On right, a similar but freshly demolished hedgerow of about the same age, western Virginia, May. #conservation #hedgerow #birds #habitat #backyardwildlife

@Ecoyenta thank you!

My latest drawing about habitat. I-phone photos rendered in graphite on Arches 30x40. Text is my paranoic, environmentalist, naturalist view. When you know a lot, nothing is just beautiful anymore. It’s all sad.

We will spend the rest of our lives watching everything we know and love fall apart. And we are the lucky ones. Hard to stay positive on days like this. https://t.co/3m6dVLlrQF

I have the tiniest following in the short history of this bird app, I still hate to leave.

We are facing imminent societal collapse due to climate breakdown, yet leaf blowers are still a thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[labeavers @WeedyVerge]

This is the most difficult thing. Balancing the immense joys of family life w the impending doom of ecological collapse. I do it but I couldn’t say exactly how I’m doing it.

Serious frost. Carolina wren, distant bluebird, bluejay.

The pallete on the today’s ride home was the best. Especially the sassafrass (top right).

These two delicious books by @turndecassette arrived in my mailbox today. The drawings are even more delicate & poignant than I had imagined.

People are dunking on these absurdist demonstrations but I think they're kinda cool. The point they're making is that your most priceless shit is worthless on a dead planet, and while they're not going to change any minds it's a way to get that idea into the discourse.

[Noah Gittell @noahgittell]

I don't know, man. The response to the soup/Van Gogh incident kinda proves the activists' point.

People had an immediate emotional reaction to the desecration of art, but we let the daily desecration of our planet slide.

Global wild vertebrate populations have fallen by 69% since 1970 according to latest report. We have lived through the annihilation of life on our planet and yet most of us have hardly noticed. We need fundamental change before the remainder is lost.

You realise that when the introverted social media people like me start having to tweet from their own personal accounts to tell the truth about climate collapse, the end is nigh

[labeavers @WeedyVerge]

@ClareSaxon I feel this.

@ClareSaxon I feel this.

Watching Ink and Incapability tonight in memory of Robbie Coltrane. Still as hilarious as the first time I saw it.

[labeavers @WeedyVerge]

@ECOWARRIORSS @clairemcilvenna yes, yes, yes

[labeavers @WeedyVerge]

Jaws is a stupid movie. Fear-mongering as entertainment.

[Ruth Barnes @hentastic1]

@autisticgardner Extremely unpleasant stuff, removed several dead Goldcrests that had got enmeshed in it last year

[labeavers @WeedyVerge]

Aarrrrrgh! Can we give the incessant tidying a break?
