David Farrier

I sent my wife a similar message over the weekend, except they were grape hyacinths...I'm a nature writer, don't you know

Well, not just now: recently finished watching...

Just finished watching Alien: Earth and feel a bit cheated that the eye-squid-thing didn't infect the repellant tech-bro character.

It's amazing but the separate recto and verso narratives did my head in after a while.

Nature's Genius is out today in Spanish!

Giving this a boost, if you need a little light in the darkest month

Reading about Kash Patel prioritising workouts over security meetings and the whole MAGA-bro obsession with strength and body-sculpting

"The men are weeping in the gym
... they don't hear
the thousands of tiny fracturings
needed to build something stronger"

Bravo @ben-cooke.bsky.social. Brilliant scoop, and hard to imagine a more important one.

“This government is hiding the true danger of climate change from the people”. Spooks don’t mess about when they leak.

Yes, thanks! Hope you enjoy.

Yes, I'd be happy to! Can you DM me the details? Thanks.

Would you believe me if I told you a new international law dedicated to environmental protection is coming into force today?

And that it covers nearly half the surface of the planet? 🌊

Hundreds of staff leave Edinburgh University amid cuts drive According to the university, 345 of these departures were the result of a targeted voluntary severance (VS) scheme run by the institution in 2025.

Missing from the coverage of redundancies at Edinburgh: this was done in such a haphazard, uncoordinated way, there are now core teams who have gone from 5 people to 1 with no change in workload or pressure and huge loss in knowledge of institutional process. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2576321...

We live in an ever-changing world, but how thin is the ice on which we are skating? And how can we change the ways we do things so we don’t fall into the void of extinction.

Imprisoned hunger striker linked to Palestine Action tells friend: ‘I’m dying’ Francesca Nadin visited Heba Muraisi, 31, in a Wakefield prison at the weekend and says ‘her body is shutting down’

The government sits and watches as Heba dies. It's heartbreaking, horrible, almost impossible to compute. Didn't people vote in the hope (however forlorn) of ending the Tories' psychopathic mode of government? Yet on it goes, under Keir Starmer. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Blow-by-blow account of an extrajudicial killing. Chilling that the shooter is close enough to look the driver in the eyes as he opens fire.

You probably know of Kathleen Jamie's essays already, but if not they're superb.

2026 looking good already @calflyn.bsky.social

We did Jolabokaflod for the first time this year. Not a bad haul.

Congratulations!!! Can't wait. Come to Edinburgh!
