Book news! This story was so interesting for me and I love the way the writer Lisa Varchol Perron managed to make a big potentially worrying topic a beautiful story and read aloud. The team at @moonandbird were so nice to work with too. Very happy! www.thebookseller.com/rights/moon-...

Real ant feeds on not-real watermelon! When life art imitates other art? (Thinking The Hungry Caterpillar and the ants/fruit.) Think it was thirsty. Not sure if watercolour adds flavour? 🧐 #antslovewatermelon #ericcarle #hungrycaterpillar

Huge win for the climate! The Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields are ruled unlawful and consent quashed. Amazing victory for @stopcambo.bsky.social and @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social and so pleased that my win on Horse Hill contributed to this. www.wealdactiongroup.org.uk/2025/01/rose...

Do you mirror TV characters’ speech/accents/gesticulations? Today I noticed I was talking in ‘dubbed’ as I’ve been watching a French language dubbed series a LOT. So weird! My kids do it too. Is this a common autistic thing? #autism #autisticmirroring #autistic

Nature is in crisis. Species all over are declining or crashing towards extinction. But by taking action for biodiversity in our communities, gardens, landscapes, farmland, towns - and by standing together & insisting political leaders step up - we can help nature recover & rebound. Let’s do this 🐝

He’s back . And he’s doing exactly what he said he would . Executive orders to expand drilling in the Alaskan wilderness , the guise of a ‘National Energy Emergency’ to slash red tape and regulation for fossil fuel companies , and the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement .

"His research centres on advanced fuel cell technology that converts organic waste into clean energy, and could be crucial in the transition away from fossil fuels" Now who would want to target this I wonder? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Hollywood is on fire , yet still deniers clutch at straws to blame this on anything other than the real problem– climate breakdown . I’m petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel ads to take the fight to the companies who continue to exploit our fragile planet petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
