Waddle...?
But what about the rad hairdo?

Which nations?

No it's not dead. The NY Times still does amazing investigative pieces.

Starting February 18, 2027, smartphones and many portable devices sold in the EU must have batteries that users can remove and replace more easily. That means #Apple #Samsung #Google #Xiaomi etc may need to redesign future devices to meet the new rules www.business-standard.com/technology/t...

Locally maybe, but please not nationally or we'll get another Trump.

I love this! When you repost it tomorrow on Earth Day, you can correct the grammar in this part: "No amount of profit *can* replace..."

Benzene: classed as cancer-causing in humans by the IARC

This photograph captures a vibrant, low-angle perspective of a birch forest on a clear, sunny day. Two prominent birch tree trunks dominate the left and right sides of the frame. Their iconic white bark is heavily textured with deep, dark fissures and horizontal lenticels. The low-angle "worm's-eye" shot emphasizes the height and grandeur of the trees, making them appear to stretch toward the sky. Strong, direct sunlight creates a high-contrast scene, casting long, dark shadows on the textured bark and illuminating the bright green grass and moss at the base of the trees. In the distance, a birch grove with slender, pale trunks and early spring foliage creates a sense of depth against a cloudless, brilliant blue sky.

Trees have long been trying to reach us. But they speak on frequencies too low for people to hear. 💙

A Hidden Side of the Maasai Mara For many months last year, a camera trap beside a remote river crossing in Kenya’s Maasai Mara quietly watched the forest...

These camera trap pictures from the Masaai Mara are absolutely, jaw-droppingly beautiful. Great story as well.

Why does the antifascist look like a centenarian alien?

What are the pale patches?

What are all these negative comments? Just eat it for goodness sake! I'm thrilled when I come across a free condiment 😆

Known locally as hurt, this is wild bilberry and forms an impossibly green carpet in the pine woods at this time.

I disagree with Thomas; we should accept death when it comes.

Dawn chorus.

From today’s early morning woodland walk. The air was warm, the sunlight gentle on the new leaves, and the birdsong in full tune. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

Where do you stand on the issue of restoring the natural curving path of New Forest rivers that were artificially straitened in the past?

I love how Monty checks over his shoulder to be sure you're following.

I've seen this relay signaling across temperate forests among different types of birds. It wasn't just an alarm call; it seemed substantive news was being transmitted and the response from across the canopy shared with neighbours.

Squirrels, too, often act as a signal to birds and vice versa.

EARTH DAY IS TOMORROW...
We LOVE our home, but we wish billionaires did too 😨
No amount of profit can't replace the only home we and our animal relations can survive on 🌎 💚

I left the U.S. because I was never going to get a diagnosis. Doctors were too afraid it was medicogenic and could be sued.
During those 7 years, I was bounced around specialists and talked into many unnecessary treatments that worsened my condition, including thyroid removal. Unthinkable in the UK!

Yes, me too. Progressively worse over 25 years.

I wonder how many mattress tags you have to tear off before a SWAT team kicks down your door.

Or plates at a garden party for elves.

You went to Brownsea Island? I'm so envious 😭

You know fumitory is related to poppy? It has similar analgesic properties. If you're feeling achy, just bite off some flower heads. It tastes bad, but it has a pleasant numbing effect that relieves pain.

Took a bite of a garlic mustard on my walk this evening.

Hooah! Definitely more garlic than mustard 😂

Just beautiful..
And that green one looks like it's smiling up at you !

"This failure of biological recovery does not occur in healthy controls, deconditioned people, or in other chronic diseases... It is not fatigue. Rather, it is failed metabolic recovery."
This is one of the best- written pieces I've read. The body uses energy not just for activity but also to relax.

But of course every energy transition in history had its holdouts...

Remember the pro-paraffin contingent? And the whale oil lobby? And those peat-fire purists...
Where are they now?? 😆
