hello—on Monday 20 April @curzon.com Soho is showing Lost For Words, a beautiful film about language, nature & hope based on The Lost Words by me & Jackie Morris.

Beautiful image. Those ripples.
The @nationaltrust.org.uk only rarely ask their members to take political action, but when they do, it’s seismic.
Please take the NT’s action, email your MP demanding the Government protect 30% of the UK for nature by 2030: campaigns.nationaltrust.org.uk/page/186395/...

Truly. All of this
After some time litter picking by the Water of Leith, I thought I'd reward myself with a couple of pints at my favourite pub, the Dreadnought and continue reading @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social Is A River Alive?, a fabulous read.
Me too, Jenny. Thank you
Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic
Thank you for these words
A copy of Is A River Alive by Robert Macfarlane. Behind it is a grey and whute cat, her eyes closed, clearly pondering on some of the ideas in this brilliant book.
Book no 15: Is A River Alive? Part travel, part conservation, part philosophy, this is @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social's passionate plea for us to recognise the importance of rivers. His writing is lyrical, at times almost a prose-poem, and utterly immersive. An important and compelling work.

Truly. A story I return to and draw hope from, over and again
Thanks, Mair!
Ahhh — I am very happy to see this braiding of texts/works/places!
Thank you, Andrew — I’m glad to hear it landed, if that’s the right word!
Should be getting US cinema distribution soon via Oscilloscope
Where are you?
Ha! Thanks. We’re screening it at the BFI IMAX on a 27-metre screen tomorrow night! Claustrophobia writ very large
Will pass that on to @dogwoofdocs.bsky.social
Thank you! The film is very, deliberately different in form (but not in spirit)
The spectacular film adaptation of my book Underland is in cinemas as of Friday.

Working on more screenings in Scotland, Wales & NI.
Announcing a deal to pay $1 billion to stop two wind farms, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said: “The era of taxpayers subsidizing unreliable, unsecure energy is officially over.”
Hours later, a massive American oil refinery accidentally exploded, spiking gas prices nationwide
👏
“This isn’t just about my livelihood – it’s about justice for the lough before there’s nothing left for the next generation.”
The slow murder of Lough Neagh—the largest lake on the island of Ireland & across the British Isles—is a tragedy and a travesty.
Go go Declan Conlon.
What a magnificent image! Which river?
Coming to the US in June from @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social:
The paperback of his NY Times bestseller IS A RIVER ALIVE?, and his third magnificent collaboration with the artist Jackie Morris, THE BOOK OF BIRDS.
I’ll let @nsota.bsky.social clarify, but as far as I understand it, the latter is absolutely sufficient!
The New School of the Anthropocene is an experimental micro-university, which offers an affordable, radical, alternative to mainstream higher ed.
I teach there each year & we have students from Gaza, Ukraine & around the world.
2026 enrolment is now open.

Hey Ben — one for you in today’s issue of Private Eye.
Thank you, Eva. I admit I am excited!
Whaaaat? I really hope that’s not the case. Let me ask @dogwoofdocs.bsky.social how things are looking in Scotland
