Experimenting with being on twitter via my old locked account, where I follow like 15 people all of whom I know IRL and some defunct meme accounts and that's it. Hoping it means I can talk to my friends about video games without getting sucked into reading hellthreads daily.

You can't forage in Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park without written permission! You MUST email contact@fothcp.org for permission first. Tell us what you want to forage and how often you'll forage. You need updated permission each year.

One person writing a mildly bitchy review of your work does not = a terrible slight and challenge that you must personally overcome to grand applause. Nature writing has never been further away from working in nature in a public facing capacity. I'm done with this genre.

Interesting convo re volunteering on @BBCRadio4 right now. "We need a system in place to capitalise on all this good will", they say. WE HAVE ONE!!! Its called the charity sector and its amazing but it's been royally shafted by the govt during covid. 🤦♀️ – at Etterbeek, België
So I didn't retweet this at first because I enjoyed it but could see the point that it's a bit mean. But watching the way people are absolutely throwing their toys out the pram about it makes me feel way more alienated from the genre than the original article.
"Something is wrong in the Robert Macfarlane Extended Universe." Me, for @The_Fence_Mag, on the absolute state of nature writing. the-fence.com/issues/issue-6…
This thread and the one it's about is such a nice reminder that 1. It's not just me who does this and 2. I only do it when the rest of my life is miserable.
tell me about the person you experienced bananas limerence for and thought you might blow up your life about based on literally nothing. mine was a 5'7 costa rican biologist whose name I can't now remember
Tree! First time having my own! Forgot to get a non shedding one so the living room is now the floor of a pine forest! It's also weirdly aggressively sharp - actually painful to get the lights on. Love it though. Just waiting for a star for the top...

With so many new people discovering @wildlondon_SHW this year, one of the volunteers has started a blog to explain what we do and why we do it.

This is a really nice thread.
If you are suddenly facing Christmas alone, I have tips. I LOVE Christmas alone so get on board.
Food: What would you ideally like to eat if no-one could limit you or judge you? Nothing but pigs in blankets? Just cake? Pot Noodle? Get that! I’m having cheese and crackers.
