Time travel to the future is possible if we slow time down. This is called time dilation and it's a real thing. Matthew McConaughey does it in Interstellar. I discuss the trickier time travel to the past on my new YouTube channel. See: youtu.be/c63XUCGg9hM
Things that shouldn’t exist: 1) heatwaves on a weekday 2) having to function when it's above 30 degrees 3) food banks
It felt right to start reading ‘Everything will swallow you’ by @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social under a shady oak by a stream and mossy bank in Mid Wales. If you are thinking of reading this too, I urge you to find a similar setting. It just works.
Many people scrape away the green layers growing on trees and rocks, but moss is an incredibly valuable ally for healthy air. Moss actively filters particulate pollution from the air, captures atmospheric carbon, and provides a crucial microhabitat for countless small insects.

Studying in my lovely garden. A bit of pre-reading before my next module starts #regenerativeagriculture #ecology #environmentalscience #sustainablefood
Tufted Saxifrage (Saxifraga cespitosa), another very special plant. Again, feels a real treat to catch them flowering so well in all their hairy glory 😍 #wildflowerhour

Does a rain get you down? Consider this Mayfly on the bog... nymphing along for a year or two… waiting for its ONE DAY to fly… and it rains! Love the life you’ve got – rain and all. 😀 #WalesPeatlandAction #nature @natreswales.bsky.social @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social

I was having a pretty rubbish day, then this was delivered! A lovely, shiny pin badge from the excellent @katieabey.bsky.social #mossfondler #moss
I came across this small area this afternoon, which intrigued me. I’m guessing it’s just moss growing over whatever is underneath (natural or man-made?), but the shapes and contours were amazing. If anyone can confirm or offer alternatives, it would be very welcome! #moss #landscape #flora

A nice piece from @swapnakrishna.com about the plan for the #Artemis II crew to take a new Earthrise photo while swinging around the Moon
The Artemis II crew has a chance to recreate ‘Earthrise,’ one of the most famous photos of all time
The 1968 photo of our blue planet inspired the global environmental movement. Now, NASA hopes to recapture that magic on their 10-day mission.
