Thanks as always to @izzygerretsen for excellent editing, and giving me the opportunity to tell such unusually positive stories about humans' relationship with the natural world 🦢

In just 12 years, this patch of land went from housing three bird species, to over 200. Extraordinary. For @BBC I wrote about how local knowledge helps restore important ecosystems – and the incredible speed that nature heals itself, if only we let it. bbc.com/future/article…

What happens when a forest has the same rights as a person? For @BBC_Future, I wrote about the legal case that saved an Ecuadorian forest from destruction, and was a landmark success in a bigger movement that's changing how we relate to the natural world. bbc.com/future/article…

Watch, read, listen: An article in @AtmosMag argued that the way humans talk about nature shapes their relationship to it – and asked whether “we [should] be paying more attention to the words we use?”. ✍️ @beccawarner atmos.earth/why-we-need-ne…

@DonalMullane @BBC_Future Thanks Don, this refers to common practice in the US. The article is edited now to make clear it’s not universal.

@beccawarner @BBC_Future Where did “the grave is lined with concrete” come from? Certainly not in any cemeteries I am aware of (in the UK or Ireland).

✍️I pondered my own death for @BBC_Future, to work out how to avoid poisoning the planet once I’m gone. The answer takes some digging (literally) and a new way of thinking about what ‘special’ might look like. bbc.com/future/article…

There's no single right answer – but what's clear is that we need more research, more options and more everyday conversations about the things we don't like talking about

Beautifully put in @benmauk's newsletter today: "I believe that the experiences of daily boredom and idleness, and the obverse states of focus and mindfulness, are critically endangered psychic species." We are overly stimulated, stressed, entertained – and suffering for it

It’s easy to forget there was a time before hustle culture and rampant individualism. My latest for @HUCKmagazine is about a 1980s zine that put a middle finger up to the emergence of neoliberalism - writing it was somehow cathartic, hope reading it is too huckmag.com/article/chris-…
huck@HUCKmagazine

In 1981 Chris Carlsson co-founded ‘Processed World’ – a radical zine that foresaw the dystopian direction society was headed in. He talks to @beccawarner about its impact, his hopes for the future, and how stupid most jobs are. huckmag.com/article/chris-…

@CarabineSophie hi, I'm a journalist writing about alternative burial practices for the BBC. There's some research from The Corpse Project that I'd like to reference but is no longer online. Hoping you might be able to help – would you mind DMing me your email address?

TNT’s members are geographically dispersed across the US, Europe and Australia. Their goal is to publicly challenge climate disinformation so that others don’t take it at face value. ✍️ @beccawarner huckmag.com/article/team-n…
