Hi! After force redirecting browsers and deleting the app I've broken out and left. Not moving to a single new place but FilipNest on Mastodon, work on LinkedIn and WILDLABS, music on the Elektronauts and Drowned In Sound forums. FilipNest.com, email, world, telephone.

"especially during the “Under the Sea” scene with all the different sea creatures doing their dance, they picked so immaculately all the species that in real life would’ve moved like that."
This interview is a thing of beauty.
Replying to @FishGuyKai
In fact, nearly all the fishes in the film were modelled after real species! Read my interview for @Slate magazine for an ichthyologist’s perspective! slate.com/culture/2023/06/li…

Wishing all CEOs of organisations completely unrelated to wildlife that promote-tweet wildlife imagery and facts to get followers a swift death through bears, being pecked to death by eagles, drowned by dolphins and such. Ants. Maybe a lot of ants.

One of the best live acts on the planet. Last London show of hers I saw a few years back before the pandemic cancelled the next two is in my top 10 ever gigs and I've been to a lot of gigs. Highly recommend you catch her.
London, It has been far too long. I can’t wait to play this new record for you live on WED 20 September at @OmearaLondon!
Tickets go on sale 2 June at 10:00. See you then 🖤🖤🖤

Love when bugs just look so silly it makes you laugh. Rewriting subregions to the parent region and you get leopards that most certainly live in South Africa.

Went to a fun ambient electronic gig last night and it's so much nicer watching artists fumbling around with machines than watching machines fumbling around with artists.

I was there for the Daphne and Celeste set and it's probably the most punk rock thing I ever saw at Reading.

Congratulations to conservation hero and one of my all round favourite people Alasdair Davies (@Al2kA) and his @arribada_i for making it into @UKVogue with their amazing impactful conservation technology. 🐢

Congratulations to Colonel Tom Ryall from the Royal Navy for winning the hyperbolic statement of the week prize when talking about the Quantum Compass stuff on #R4Today - "It's up there with electricity, with fire."

Making a giant statue of someone is a silly and usually oppressive and bad thing but looking at the list of tallest statues in the world and imagining giant Joanna Newsom, John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk statues in some weird art-cult future.

Love science and history backed in depth articles like this from what appears to be a fascinating book by Rachel Lance @UnderwaterLance . I doubt many / any of us will be in situations like this but it somehow reasures future apocalyptic movie scenario dreams.

omgosh @songkick just pinged me that @graceives4u is doing another London show in a couple of months. Last year's tiny venue show was the sweatiest and most pop fun I've had at a gig in years and her album is still amazing so totally going.

When I started music / song writing many were tributes & gifts to specific friends. It's among the best uses of art and this song by Cassandra Jenkins is one of the best & simplest. This thankyou card as video is utterly silly, funny + a perfect imagining of friendship. So much❤️
Cassandra Jenkins (@CassFreshUSA) has shared a new music video/short film for her song “Hailey (premix)” co-directed by the song’s inspiration, model/actress/journalist/director Hailey Benton Gates, who made it as a thank-you for writing a song about her. undertheradarmag.com/news/ca…

I know pop culture & critical reception is difficult to judge but still baffled that House to Dress Well's Care album didn't become huge. I think people just didn't know where to place it. It's easily his biggest and I think best and has so many wonderful heartfelt melodic gems.

This at least had the effect of making me find out about this music and it's pretty good (see tweet a few days ago).

That thing where you pull down your headphones to talk to a lovely bubbly salesperson and then put them on again to be surprised by this epic dissonant drone that makes your brain feel like the interaction you just had held a deeper, darker meaning.

Love this. Also not sure if an influence on it but reminded me of this from one my favourite poets, @SaulWilliams
"The greatest Americans have not been born yet
They are waiting patiently for the past to die"
‘The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.’
Bertrand Russell
