In the general bon homie of this place & in the spirit of following back, I will, though, unfollow immediately if you DM me straight after I have followed back - as I have just done with 3 men. Let’s start as we mean to go - in friendly open ways. Thanks.
Good. Standards are being maintained. Tate has his mates on X to twit to. Birds of a feather …

Seán Street@seanstreet.bsky.social · 2y agoA pleasant surprise of 2024 for me has been that my current book, Wild Track, was a finalist in the Prose Awards Environmental Science Awards. Bloomsbury are bringing it out in paperback in February, and it’s available to pre-order now. www.bloomsbury.com/uk/wild-trac...
The Age of Unreason Never in human history have we had greater knowledge, more advanced science, higher abilities to wipe out disease & protect the immunosuppressed. That this bear-napper runs the FDA is truly an Age of Knowing Ignorance
We are part of the change!

Good article. I’ve just read it again after yet another acquaintance has fallen under the spell of conspiracy theories. He fits the ‘new age’ type that James Ball writes about here.
James Ball@jamesrball.com · 2y agoSo…apropos of nothing, here’s a long-ish magazine feature I wrote last year (to go alongside a book on the same theme) about how something as well-meaning “wellness” can turn into a pipeline into full-blown conspiracism – and even fascism. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
