It's Nice To Be Disliked (By One Of Those)

I've walked under these beautiful trees in #Falmouth almost every day for nearly 25 years. Have we learned nothing from the wanton felling of street trees in Sheffield & Plymouth? Do consider signing the petition if you're local. chng.it/DjhXqwLbwP

Our team have been checking on the #kakapo on Pukahereka/Coal Island, in south-west Fiordland, New Zealand. This is the newest kākāpō island, established last year and currently containing 13 males. Here's Kenneth, by ranger Maddy Whittaker. #conservation #parrots #birds

Thanks so much to everyone so far who's signed, shared and commented on the M&S petition. If you're part of any wider networks that might be interested or supportive, please do circulate it more widely! actionstorm.org/petitions/ma...

Brexit, the lack of access to funding, budgets being slashed, the lack of commissions, the wipeout of working class stories and talent where only the privileged thrive, backing AI… But please, DO GO ON Lisa and blame protests and boycotts. You sound completely in touch with the creative industry 👍🏾

Have a wee vote, folks! Be assured it's not me, Liz Lochhead and Jackie Kay in competition with each other - god forbid! It's you choosing a line by each of us to be carved on the Parliament Wall. www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/2025/02/publ...

Newsletter, day 19:

We've agreed to provide new loos in #Ashbourne Park & #Matlock Dale, while supporting financially opening up to the public of toilets at #DarleyDale's Whitworth Centre. Follows review of toilet provision actioned by our Progressive Alliance leadership ⏬ www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/your-council...

Here's a talking point tip for nature from our Biodiversity team: Leave your garden messy! It's tempting to start clearing away dead stems, leaf litter & seedheads but these provide winter and early spring protection for butterflies, bees and other insects, as well as much needed food for birds😊

We're thrilled to announce that Derbyshire #GreenRewards is coming soon to the #DerbyshireDales! Get ready to earn points for taking sustainable action—like recycling, reducing waste, and sustainable travel ⏬ www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/green-rewards

Rhubarb Festival Time! Lovely morning in Wakefield. Rhubarb has been acquired together with cheeses (and chutneys), Grasmere Gingerbread, and RHUBARB PAKORA!

Smear test tomorrow

Expect to see more stories like these Godstone sinkholes in the future - we have a lot of ageing, poorly maintained infrastructure buried quite deep underground that is under new stress from residential development and climate change.

Your public service announcement that the incredible You Do Not Have Yo Say Anything - with the equally incredible @joannahs.bsky.social - continues today on BBC Radio 4 and iPlayer. It’s a wonderfully true and compassionate insight into the criminal justice system. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

“The absence of health funding in the SEND system should be considered a national scandal, especially when child and adolescent mental health services are in such a state of disrepair.” 💯 It’s eHcp. With a silent H!

This petition has almost reached its target of 50,000 signatures. Can you help get it over the line? You don't need to be a resident of NI - anyone, anywhere, who cares about protecting birds of prey, can sign it. 🦅🙏 raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/02/13/p...

Hi @bmj.com Can you add a Bluesky share button instead of the X button you have please?

I penned this sequel to 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' a few years ago now. For some reason, a denunciation of anti-alarmism seems even more relevant. richardparkin.co.uk/fables/?tb-p...

Sheffield tried to prioritise housing in sustainable, city centre locations in the Local Plan. But the Planning Inspectorate has now ruled the council has to build on greenbelt. They have also increased housing targets, which means there's no chance for the city to escape the tilted balance.

Can thoroughly recommend. When you can't sleep in the depths of the night, and you can't quieten down the thoughts in your head, the lulling sound of rain or wind is a wonderful way to calm the mind back into sleep.

Lawn. I hand draw all my cartoons to order. Not sure if this one is up at the moment, but you can always email via our site and ask if there's anything you've seen that isn't there right now. www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...

People think my phone is full of pictures of modernist masterpieces but it’s mainly cooking instructions from packets so I can zoom in

This is not sustainable nor is it good for patient safety Clinical nurse specialists are advanced practice nurses who become the 'project managers' of complex care

Have you been reading The Art of Breastfeeding? It's packed full of information, support, encouragements for all ages and stages of breastfeeding - from pregnancy through to the end of breastfeeding. What have you found most helpful? We’d love to hear! www.lllgbbooks.co.uk/store/p258/A...

Phone now sends me transcriptions of voicemails. Very confused by this one until I listened to it. Turns out ‘sexy literally’ is in fact ‘Specsavers Bletchley’
