I didn't realise quagga mussels were so utterly devastating.
Sounds like Lough Erne may be changed forever, and presumably, all Irish lakes within a couple of years.

‘It’s an open invasion’: how millions of quagga mussels changed Lake Geneva for ever
The molluscs are decimating food chains in Switzerland, have devastated the Great Lakes in the US, and this week were spotted in Northern Ireland for the first time

A lot of people are sick right now.
Flu and Covid are raging, but the good news is a well fitted respirator can prevent both!
A good mask like an N95 is very effective at stopping flu and Covid.
My article looks at how to choose one, how to fit test, where to buy & more.

We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask
Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

We have zero clue where this photograph was taken or who the people are in it. We assume it's a hospital or BMA trip somewhere...
Can anyone identify these rocks?

Remember guys, @pcsunion.bsky.social staff at the BL are on strike for the next two weeks. Please don't cross the picket line to go to reading rooms, attend exhibitions or anything else. They've endured so much on low pay since the cyberattack in 2023 and the least we can do is have their backs now.

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.
“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

There is a proposal to create a new eastern entrance to this historic cemetery, which would be detrimental. I would urge anyone who has an interest in the #Glasgow #Necropolis to read this open letter from the Friends group and take action www.glasgownecropolis.org/wp-content/u...

Just learnt about #31DaysOfGraves from a @churchmonuments.bsky.social lecture and can't resist adding this one on the final day, even if it isn't quite on theme! Photographed in the Forest of Dean, made of metal, and I've never seen any comparable examples - would love to know if anyone else has.
