Likewise- I'm finding following this war very difficult. The lies, the nihilism, the stupidity, the casual disregard for death, the gargantuan consequences...

The sort of gases, no doubt, that inspire people to rise up against a tyrannical regime, and establish a new leadership that needs Trump's sign-off

Agreed. It’s a sacrifice I could not possibly make. I’m exposed enough as it is, and I don’t even live in the US! Thanks Aaron. You deserve the chillest rest of life of all of us after this is all over.

It was the @mrjamesob.bsky.social show a couple of days after the referendum, with European callers’ reports of being taunted by classmates, colleagues and passers-by that did it for me. (Was against it before, mind)

β€˜An epidemic of suffering’: Why are conservationists breaking down? In December 2024, Rachel Graham, executive director of the Belize-based marine nonprofit MarAlliance, posted on LinkedIn that she knew β€œ5 wildlife & conservation scientists who have taken their lives…

More than 27% of conservationists report moderate to severe distress, with many calling it a mental health β€œcrisis.”

Experts cite the toll of witnessing ecological loss and an industry marked by low pay, insecurity and unrealistic workloads.
