“What's at stake is our understanding of the Universe itself.” @richardfisher.bsky.social is as excellent as ever - on the encroachment of artificial light into the home of star-gazing: www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Please shout if you have any Substack must-read faves … esp on any kind of combination of nature, climate, environment, AI, animals, and early motherhood!
New Years Resolution 2026: get more into Substack, both reading and writing.
Below is one I’m excited to follow, on climate loss and damage, by the beautiful writer @sophiastories.bsky.social. And I’ve already been enjoying Diana Savarin’s, on thoughtful living that galvanises the soul.
Can imaginative ‘time-travel’ actually help us change the world for the better? I reviewed @robintransition.bsky.social’s ‘How to Fall in Love with the Future’ for @resurgencetrust.bsky.social magazine.
It’s free here in their latest issue: Hope as a Radical Act www.resurgence.org/magazine/art...
Just the most astonishing, zeitgeisty piece on animal ‘tyrants’ by @chrisbaraniuk.com for our BBC Earth team:
