Absolutely, definitely and indubitably worth celebrating! Well done, Fi! 👏🍾

Come on, people, join the dots!
Instead of hiding behind, "ah, but it's not that simple"... how about admitting that it's really not that complicated, either?
There are too many of us.
And we're using up the Earth's resources too fast.

We lose 137 species EVERY DAY due to deforestation. 🦜🌿
That’s over 50,000 a year — gone forever.
Not just trees. Entire worlds erased.

Well said! 💚

No matter how sh*tty the current sh*tstorms may seem, we actually have far more important things to think about. Let's talk.

Thanks Piper - now I, too, really want to nuzzle a cake to know it with my face...

This planet — with all its troubles — is worth caring for.

That should be our single purpose, as a species: To be stewards of this magnificent world, ensuring it thrives long into the future.

Holy parkour, Batman!

I think you're absolutely right.

Actually, having now done a bit more research, I think mine is probably a scorched carpet moth (ligdia adustata)...🤔

Thanks! Online image ID was giving me psamatodes abydata (dot-lined angle) but the wing shape is wrong and afaik it's only found in America!

1 snowflake is harmless ❄️ but consider the destructive force of an avalanche.
1 water drop is harmless 💧 but consider the destructive power of a tidal wave.
1 human is harmless 🚶‍♂️ but consider the destructive greed of 8.3 billion of us.
In our unchecked masses, WE are the avalanche, the tidal wave.

Any friendly lepidopterists out there who can help me ID a moth, please? Doesn't help that I could only photograph it from underneath on a window! 🙄😆 I live in central France.

Let's assume we invented a time machine and have invited Charles Darwin to the present day. We preserved Down House for him where he can adjust to all our modern technologies at his own pace. Over tea, someone casually mentions that the UK had lost close to 2/3s of all insect biomass in three years.

Yikes! 😱

Haha yeah I gathered! 😜🐸💚

Sixth mass extinction looms as humanity fails to act, scientists say With possibly 1 million species facing extinction, biodiversity loss is a moral issue, not just a natural part of evolution.

Its like another asteroid has struck the Earth
Such is the impact of humans on the natural world Humans have triggered the greatest mass extinction in 66 million years
Wildlife animals birds bees and insects are disappearing

We burn fossil fuels and forests, pumping the sky full of poison until the air we breathe chokes us. Children in cities grow up with lungs the size of smokers’. Glaciers melt. Storms intensify. The atmosphere isn’t some distant sky. It’s the blanket that keeps our dinner table from burning

Ever wonder why ants build colonies that last generations without trashing their habitat? Or how bees pollinate without poisoning the flowers? No intelligent species will destroy their environment in the disguise for development and profit—nature proves it.

Yay! I love spring, when there are signs of new life everywhere 💚
(Are the bars there to keep them in? 🤔😉)

Six years ago, we started MeidasTouch with zero followers—just a deep concern that people weren’t getting the truth and a belief that we could help change that. No big backing. No built-in audience. Just a mission. Today, that mission has grown into a movement. Over 9 BILLION views on YouTube alone. More than 14.5 MILLION followers across platforms. But the numbers only tell part of the story. Everything we’ve built, every report, every video, every breakthrough moment, has been powered by the Meidas Mighty community. People who believe facts matter. People who believe democracy matters. People who refuse to stay silent. People who show up, share, and stand up for the truth. This is your movement as much as it is ours. Six years in, and we’re just getting started.

We’re just getting started. Shoutout to the Meidas Mighty!

The latest in an infinitely long list of occasions when he has eloquently demonstrated his disrespect, egotism and utter lack of class and integrity. And that's the only eloquence he can be accused of.

Evenings, Ian. How goes it?

Am I a pessimist by nature? Absolutely not.

Am I enough of a realist to recognise that we have missed every one of the countless opportunities we've had to effect meaningful change that could have averted the polycrises we now face? Yes. Yes, I am.

Fair point. It's not as if "The Kinkybit of Hormuz" was already taken. 🤔

Well, now it's not #worldbookday anymore... but the good news is that 10:59 will be a book all year long! Yay! 🥳📖
