🚨 Musk’s racist AI has been spitting out lies about white genocide and denying the holocaust. Don’t f*cking use it. If there was any doubt, everyone still hates Elon. 📍A short journey from Twitter/Grok’s London HQ

Creeping Red Thyme has been very popular this year. Hardly surprising when it does this and is such a lovely colour when covered in flowers - and then the pollinators 🌱🇬🇧 #bloomscrolling #herbs #creepingthyme

In the folklore of many countries black cats were thought of as the familiars of witches (aka non-conforming, wise women, healers, midwives, elder women, younger women, outspoken women, quiet women, mothers, grandmothers... etc). Art by Eva Fialka #FolkloreThursday

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim! Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

🌱 As the Tulip season comes to an end, it becomes Iris time! Last week there were a lot of fat buds waiting to burst open in Wisley’s Hilltop gardens but this one was in full flower, perfect for #SundayYellow. I’m off for a morning of volunteering. The Craft show is on if you are planning a visit.

Whenever I'd get to fretting about timing of seeding, my Dad always assured me "they'll come up when they're ready". They always do. 💚🌱 (This is a pea I planted a few weeks ago)

Sometimes I put in an absurdly low bid on an eBay auction with the knowledge that I definitely won't get it but also a vanishingly slim hope that MAYBE by some miracle nobody else will bid. Anyway that is how I ended up adding this magnificent glass plate negative to my collection!

The proposal to test trans kids for autism smacks of the politics of RFK Junior. It pathologises two groups that deserve protection by the NHS (trans kids and autistic ones) in an attempt to remove their bodily autonomy. We should all see this for what it is: something that has no place in the UK.

I was gonna say "look how crazy I've become" b/c for the 1st time ever, I'm scarifying & soaking seeds (I figure w/ my temperate zone that's a step I don't need). But I think passion flowers may be worth it! this is a web pic - But 🤞 maybe 1 day I'll have some of my own! 🌱 #garden #love #gardening

Lovely new azalea in the garden, finally opening up in the sunshine. I think it might belong out back though, not sure it likes the heat so much… #gardening #azalea #flowers
