Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

This too

We did it. We’ve rescued St James’s, Llangua in Monmouthshire. In this short video, our Director, Rachel Morley, shares a quick overview of this remarkable project.

This should be interesting. New "study confirms that Glyphosate and Glyphosate-based herbicides cause multiple types of cancer, even at exposure levels deemed to be “safe” by the EU" Register at: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Are you a patch birder in the UK? I’m looking for more participants in my continuing research project about patch birding, which focuses on environmental change, well-being, and low-carbon birding. Find out more here. andrewjwhitehouse.wordpress.com/patch-birdin... #UKBirding #PatchBirding

A potent, close, stormy-feeling day, mixing the honouring of being part of nature, & our extraordinary place on this earth, with a rising heat trajectory of our causing. More of the former! Happy #SummerSolstice & #ShowYourStripesDay Berkshire’s stripes; spark climate conversations! @edhawkins.org

Well it’s a bit tight - we still need 66 more signatures by 8:45am on Saturday..surely we can do that?! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Weird hivemind request: can anyone with experience of artist management contracts spare me a second or two?/

I’m shocked having someone write your essay doesn’t make you smarter

As smooth as silk. The air, gentle as a baby's breath. Over the sea to Skye.

If I have to go to trial then I’ve basically lost the argument - the rightness of my position and the wrongness of theirs.

One of the biggest winners? Ed Miliband! The minister who commentators keep insisting is imminently for the chop or is having his budget slashed, whispering net zero is in doubt or GB Energy is being quietly binned. The reality is he got the the biggest increase in capital and GBE alone got £8bn.

The rewilded walled garden at Knepp is looking fantastic and there is SO much wildlife to be found! Come join me on my next Garden Wildlife safari on 25 July, where we will walk around the garden and learn how to identify the different species that use it. Get involved! knepp.co.uk/view/garden-...

Well, this one has certainly 'done the numbers'. -16k Likes etc. I thought the allusion to the 'Troubles' and indeed Bloody Sunday was too subtle, but it seems not. Troops are not civil police and have little training in public order. Deploying troops against civilians is never a good thing.

Didn’t think he knew where that was, did they have to dust the furniture off?
