An account to celebrate my twin obsessions: monitoring nests for @_BTO and listening to rock music. Views my own, typically obscured by vegetation

Hilary Cass getting a peerage for publishing an ideologically biased, methodically unsound, internationally discredited report thatβs being used to remove healthcare rights from vulnerable young trans people is disgusting.

Full disclosure, never been a fan, but thinking I should listen now, and maybe should've long before.
Holy shit! Bruce Springsteen, with one of the most eloquent endorsements for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz you'll hear. The Boss also delivered one of the strongest repudiations of the loathsome piece of shit I've heard from anyone. Let's fucking goβΌοΈπππΊπΈ https://t.co/CVHX2UlapG

In 1968, Sidney Poitier was at a press conference at the height of his career. He made it very clear how he felt about the press. Funny that I had to find this on a discarded film reel with 1000s of books, Microfiche and films. Now you can see it.

Just before the Cass Review final report came out my peer-reviewed article critiquing the whole Cass approach was published. It has been read 47,000 times, without one single mention in UK mainstream media. https://t.co/HRCJBTbJrH

Since 2016 trans people in the UK, and particularly trans children, have experienced a sustained and escalating campaign to roll back trans freedoms, rights and access to healthcare. A series of l...

Take it in. The first female chancellor. The first housing secretary who's actually lived in social housing. The first education secretary who was on free school meals. An energy secretary who actually believes in aggressively fighting climate change. Not a bad afternoon.

Flooding had receded enough to get into at least some of the Cranwich pits today, and 14 new Coot nest records for @_BTO was the reward. Most were of the rare subspecies Fulica atra dali, thanks to a 4ft drop in water levels during the peak laying period.

Cranwich flooding has delayed the start of my @_BTO nest recording this year but not the birds; three of five Long-tailed Tit nests already at lining stage and three Coot clutches located on Saturday, including this arboreal one, about 1m up thanks to dropping water levels.

A major report, prepared by @_BTO staff, surveys the evidence on the impacts of climate change on migratory species. The report was commissioned by @DefraGovUK through @JNCC_UK as a major contribution to the work of @BonnConvention on climate change. https://t.co/O5X8JaWVik

I think this is possibly the thread I have learned most from in the shortest space of time. It's like a music nerd deep-dive, and I love it, and it's what X (formerly known as 'so much better pre-fash-owner') used to be so good at.

"Liz Truss has thrown her weight behind Donald Trumpβs 2024 re-election campaign" Absolutely loopy. All the cognitive powers of a lobotomised hazelnut. https://t.co/TUksQL41PA
