Yes, I've shared this one before, yes it may need more than one look to get it, yes I will keep sharing it, yes it still makes me laugh.

I just signed this important open letter on Organise, please can you add your name? Demanding an Inquiry into the EHRC’s Handling of Trans Rights organise.network/s/270c4cf671de

I can't believe it needs to be said, least of all to a Labour Government, but we should be tougher on genocide than peaceful protest against genocide.

Fair do's. If only more Labour MPs were willing to do the same... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Angela Rayner says that Labour MPs who rebel against the Welfare Bill will lose the whip There are 403 Labour MPs Any Labour MP who votes for withdrawing PIP support from the disabled as outlined in this welfare bill is an absolute disgrace

So attack another state, goad it into retaliating and suddenly the genocide in Gaza slides down the list of priorities? Fuck that. This just adds impetus to holding Israel to account for ALL the slaughter carried out and suffering caused in its name. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

There is a carnival of fossils on the floor and the walls of Presidential Symphony Orchestra's concert hall in Ankara!🥳 #urbangeology

RSPB England reaction to the Sizewell C funding announcement.

I was on my boat late last night & thought I heard a scrabbling noise coming from outside. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye & looked up to see a fox had come through my open boat hatch & was climbing into my bed!

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Discworld QOTD, from Thud!

That's told 'em. I mean, Israel have a fine record in abiding by international humanitarian law. This spineless, craven response to a flagrant attack on a humanitarian attempt to deliver aid supplies is a stain on this country. This government is utterly despicable. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cl...

I'm shocked, shocked to learn that the government is lying (again).

New week, new Nature or No Nature! Rachel Reeves: Your spending choices could be a turning point for nature. Our 100k strong petition asked you to increase nature-friendly farming funding, which our research shows could reduce costs elsewhere. So your question today is:

BREAKING: Huge panic in Israel as they realise the Madleen has fulfilled its true mission which was to show the world they are a bunch of genocidal cunts 😳

I'd like to think this incident will prompt the British government to finally condemn the genocide in Gaza & ban arms sales to Israel. Sadly, I suspect they'll instead frame it as Israel's right to bravely defend itself against a delivery of baby formula. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Spread the word. Israel is violating international law and the rights of civilian nationals from France, Denmark, Germany, Brazil, The Netherlands, Turkey and Spain. The whole world is watching. #FreePalestine

War wlf? The leg length to back ratio suggest it's a war weasel...

An excellent contribution to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill debate from the Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside Wildlife Trust (and yes, I am a member). Let's hope local MPs are listening... www.lancswt.org.uk/news/open-le...

England~ the new planning and infrastructure bill will not strengthen ecological protection but will instead be ‘environmentally regressive’ this cannot happen during a biodiversity crisis. We must #MessUpBritain for nature 🐝🌹🦔🌻🐸🪻🦋💚 www.lancswt.org.uk/news/open-le...?

Well, turning our backyard into a wildlife garden appears to be paying off. These are just a few of the #bees that have been spotted over the last week or so.

Excellent news! www.itv.com/news/anglia/...

Yes please! If you are toilet training your kid we need your help. Thanks

The EU just downgraded wolves from “strictly protected” to “protected” — a move driven by politics, not science. It opens the door to more killing, despite clear evidence that non-lethal coexistence works. #ProtectWolves #Coexistence #WolfConservation #EU

Following the utterly appalling Planning and Infrastructure Bill, this is yet another way the government is failing to protect nature. Please sign and RT. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/swifts-p...

Naval nerds already know the problem is that they can tell where it's going, or how fast it's getting there, but never both

For anyone who is toilet training children & cares about the environment, my colleague @markmiodownik.bsky.social needs your help. Especially if you live outside the UK & US. The Big Toilet Project will help reduce plastic pollution. Read more below & please spread the word! www.bigtoiletproject.org

From hair so bad it makes Trump's look real, to a neck so long it suggests some giraffe ancestry...though why any self-respecting giraffe would keep its bollocks in the neck area is beyond me. Thanks to @smartdublin.bsky.social for confirming AI is utter shite.

Nigel Farage says abortion laws are “utterly ludicrous.” MPs are watching. We have days to show them: the public backs abortion rights. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Welcome to Round 1 of Nature or No Nature! Keir Starmer, you were elected on a promise to meet legally binding nature targets. Now, funding for nature, and laws protecting species and habitats, are at risk. So, for a chance to win back public trust, your first question:

Welcome back to Nature or No Nature! Rachel Reeves, your own experts say nature-friendly farming is vital for our food security, wildlife, & climate. Yet we hear you're set to slash the very funding it relies on. With the clock ticking, and our future to play for, can you answer this question...

Time for another round of Nature or No Nature! Angela Rayner, you said Labour's planning bill would be a win for nature. Yet your environmental watchdog says the opposite. To help clear up the confusion, your question now...

Irreplaceable habitats are on the line. This is the reality if an unamended Part 3 of the Bill passes. It must not.

We’re putting MPs on ‘Notice for Nature’, with local areas seeing huge nature declines📢 The Planning & Infrastructure Bill as it stands is an application to demolish wildlife🚨 The Bill must be made #WilderByDesign, or be rejected by Parliament👇 www.express.co.uk/news/politic...
