Rare Earth is back on air🎉 & today's episode is available here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... We started by discussing the new sea anemone that spends its life as a crab's hat (see below), but the focus was COP30... what has COP ever done for us, what's happening now in Brazil, and what comes next?

10% of white people think you have to be white to be English - but 84% of white people disagree with that. Two-thirds of ethnic minorities think Englishness is a civic, not ethnic identity, though 1/4 of minority groups join 1/10 of the majority group in seeing it as ethnically defined (YouGov)

After A Winged Victory for the Sullen: When space opened and the angels arrived -when the sun became the pupil of an eye -when fauns stepped out of the woods -and the sea began to fly When the bombs stopped exploding - caught, returned and packed inside -by delicate crystalline spiders -who emitted a curious light…

Fun fact: #TaylorSwift sings 'You dug me out of my grave and saved my heart from the fate of Ophelia' 🎵 Lizzie Siddal, the model who posed for Ophelia by Millais actually was dug out of her grave 7 years after she was buried cos her husband Rossetti wanted some poems back he'd buried with her.
