Today – 30 September – the world celebrates International Translation Day! The theme this year is “Translation, an art worth protecting”. “This year’s theme recognises the inherent value of translation and highlights the need to preserve our craft, our profession and its future” writes @AlisonRodrigz, President of the International Federation of Translators (FIT) in her CIOL Voices blog: ciol.org.uk/International-… #InternationalTranslationDay2024 #Translation #Translators #FIT #ITD

Retweet ❗️ This is a Swift. sometimes they can end up on the ground. This is where they need YOUR help! Swifts arrive back to the UK from April/May to nest. 🪺 (A THREAD)

The full video deserves to be shared and viewed by as many as possible. My own 12-year-old daughter will inevitably watch this, be completely confused, & ask: "Why are they are all cheering and applauding her like they agree, but still not doing enough?"

"Current policies are taking the world to a 2.8 degree temperature rise...that spells catastrophe, yet the collective response remains pitiful." – @antonioguterres There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

🍅🌽World Food Day Reminder: People want to grow their own food instead of being forced into the industrial food system. The UK's waiting list for allotments could feed ENTIRE CITIES!

@Claire_Cox16 @ChrisDurbanFR @EurostarJustinp I sympathise Claire, and have similar concerns. The YTI committee realised ahead of this year's AGM that most of the events we organised last year ended up falling on strike days and we had to postpone some of them. I think car sharing can come into its own here, if feasible.

@ChrisDurbanFR @EurostarJustinp I haven’t decided how to travel yet but admit I’m put off the train by the prospect of strikes 😳. I’ve ended up driving to many events recently due to last-minute disruptions 😱

Looking forward to this -- will be traveling from Paris to London by Eurostar, then train north to Edinburgh, green mobility oblige @EurostarJustinp

Here are the details for our new wildlife show, @8outof10bats! Tune in at 7:30 on October 23rd on YouTube. Details in the tweet below 😁🦇💚

@ajctranslate Oooh, hadn't even heard of this but will look into it!

Who's at the other place? Add me – same handle! #xl8

4 Reasons to #StopRosebank: 🌎As much emissions as 28 countries in global south ❌Won't make our energy secure or lower bills 💷Will cost the taxpayer 3.75 billion pounds 🛢️Keeps us hooked on expensive oil & gas @kevinhollinrake will you stand up against it?

Dear journalists of the world: We are at risk of losing basically everything. This - what we're experiencing now - is how that process unfolds. The more fossil fuels we burn, the further in that process we go. You MUST begin to tell 5 critical truths. Civilization depends on it.

Looking forward to introducing @bunce_sally tonight at her talk for @GroupRyedale in Malton (Friends Meeting House) - it's going to be fascinating, if fury-inducing...

@MeganMcCubbin Fantastic news!

Big news!! Chris has won the court case against CS Magazine and it’s writers. A huge sign of relief! A win against online bullying and harassment. Hopefully will see less trolling as a result 🤞 theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/m…

Had a wonderful day with the @NWTN_UK gang on Sunday!

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯. 🧵, please RT. #BeyondGrowth2023 1/

Really exciting to be on the @GroupRyedale planning team for our 3rd Ryedale Eco Fair, on Sat 10th June at the Milton Rooms in Malton. Even more family-friendly, creative stuff happening this year - details coming soon! Coinciding with the @climatecoaliton's #GreatBigGreenWeek

And the die in...

Amazing day yesterday, starting at 5am for 6.30am train from Thirsk to London for #TheBigOne to celebrate #EarthDay2023 with around 60,000 other supporters of the natural world. Got to finally meet Jen and the group of legends from the @sustainableish Clubhouse...

And some more...

Some more pics of the wonderful messages.
