(Not) Another CDT Report: Bailey Newbrey Reflects on the Northern New Mexico CDT

After a serious hand injury forces him off the bike, Bailey Newbrey is forced to confront his reliance on movement for his wellbeing. In this reflective essay on finding running that culminates in a 100-mile fastpack on the Continental Divide Trail in northern New Mexico, Bailey also examines why physical movement feels so vital as a means to combat the plagues of modernity... With an abruptness that caused me to walk face-first into the back of his pack, Yeshe came to a halt in the middle of the trail. The sun was just beginning to set as we made our…

“Ireland has long laboured under the misapprehension that because we do not have a consolidated far-right party in the Dáil, there is no need to worry about their rise here in the same way other European countries do. A night like this, indeed no night more than this, should shatter that illusion forever.“

‘We are creating a material monster’: the false logic of faux leather

As more people seek out vegan clothing alternatives, pleather can seem like an ethical option. But these pieces, often made from fossil-fuel based plastics, can have a major environmental impact

Reminder to go to your local library and volunteer to speak on their behalf. Let them know that if folks try to come and ban books that you'll speak publicly against them.

We found out folks were going to be commenting at our library calling for banning books.

So.

We all went and spoke out against them.

Only one person got up and called for a ban. She went first. Everyone after her started calling out her behavior and telling the library staff to keep the books.

The first woman and a couple others soon left before the end of comments.

Drive them out. Protect our libraries.

Please stop laughing at CatGPT. Please stop sharing this picture. It's not funny. This is a slippery slope. It might only meow for now, but what's next? What will our cats do if CatGPT takes their jobs? Do we really want artificial intelligence to sleep all day? To scoff at the $50 worth of cat food you just purchased? To knock your full glass of water over and feel zero remorse when it shatters on the floor? Call me a Luddite, but I believe we must destroy CatGPT to protect our feline friends.

It’s official. I will stand for @greenparty_ie in the 2024 EU elections.

Honoured to represent Dublin. The Greens are a powerful force in Europe for Nature against powerful lobbies. Important to have Irish voices at the centre 🇮🇪
