Dublin was appointed a UNESCO City of Literature on this day 15 years ago. I am delighted to be one of the instigators of this prestigious designation, and it was an honour to work with Jane Alger and the dynamic teams @dubcilib and @DeptCultureIRL

Sobering thread
Forget the elephant in the room. Let’s talk about the #bumblebees in the box. A thread on the commodification of bumblebees to produce your #food. The numbers, why it’s bad for wild bees and how they kill them when they’re no longer of use. Please share. #retweet For #bees 1/14
