I'm in a tent

Maybe catch up on some old stories?

Good morning, folks.

All being well, I’m slumbering soundly in a tent right now. (Not the one pictured, sadly.) After five months of solid work and regular 12-hour workdays, I’m taking a little break.

So this is just a quick note to say that there will be no news roundup this week, nor will there be a feature on Wednesday. But Inkcap will be back in your inboxes as usual next Friday – hopefully written by a substantially less exhausted human.

If you find yourself missing Inkcap over these next seven days, you can always check out the archive. Here are a few articles I’ve been particularly proud of:

• Does Extinction Rebellion care about nature?

• Is it time to rethink the language around 'non-native' species?

• In Cumbria, A Lost World Returns

• The Nest Protectors

• Natural history museums are rooted in racism

• The Debate Over Knepp's New Storks

Meanwhile, if you’re really missing Inkcap, this might be a good time to consider becoming a paying subscriber! These donations are the only income I receive from writing Inkcap. Each one makes the most enormous difference, and it is really the only way I can make this sustainable in the long run (cf. those 12-hour working days). Thank you!
