Thousands of miles from your home where a war is waging, speaking in your second language, outnumbered, shouted down & without the gravitas wearing a suit apparently bestows you & you still look like the only dignified leader in the room. That’s the kind of power bullies will never have.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

I heard someone talking on the radio this morning about leaving #dog hair out for #birds to use in their nests If pets have been treated with certain flea treatments, this could kill the chicks Now seems a good time to repost this article 👇 #neonicotinods www.theguardian.com/environment/...

In light of the sad news from @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social today, I have removed the paywall from the Substack I wrote in autumn about extra things we can do to help bumblebees. One of them is growing crocuses undercover, which is working really well! open.substack.com/pub/katebrad...

From "I'd march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans" to spending Valentine's Day posting gratuitous transphobia about a doctor and a newsreader on a hate site run by a fascist. It's really quite the journey.

In RFK jnr, the USA now has a guy in charge of its public healthcare who thinks that the MMR vaccine causes autism and that flouride and chemicals in water cause cancer and turn kids gay and transgender. Good luck, America.

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 41 80% of solitary bee species are mining #bees. They nest in the ground. To do this they must have access to bare soil. Help them - scrape back some soil/build a mound - south facing. And never use pesticides. Ever. Not ever! Don’t do it! 🌍🐝

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Important new research out today concludes that English “water companies are adopting disinformation tactics similar to those used by the fossil fuel and tobacco industries with the widespread use of greenwashing to downplay the environmental harm they cause”. 👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'Into this pond were flushed the ashes of some four million people. And that was not done by gas. It was done by arrogance, it was done by dogma, it was done by ignorance. When people believe that they have absolute knowledge, with no test in reality, this is how they behave.' #HMD

This is absolutely shocking. What are people like @lewisgoodall.com doing? Why do we have the far right on every news organ, every hour, on the hour, and absolutely not one word from anyone with - frankly - much better ideas?

Late? Ever so slightly darlings but don’t be concerning yourselves with that. Concern yourself with this: Native Willow #trees are not weeds. They are vital to #bees & are second only to oak in the number of creatures they support. Stop cutting them down and smashing them out of #hedgerows. Capisce?

Hurray! Some good news for bees at last. Our new government has followed the science, and refused the application by sugar beet farmers to use banned neonicotinoid pesticides.

Stepping back from the two big stories of the moment, pretty much all of the platforms where the Southport killer indulged his passions for violence, genocide & murder are owned & controlled by men who were in the prime seats at Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday. And they all hate regulation…

And fact number three. Hope they’ve been a balm of sorts. ‘Gravity keeps my head down Or is it maybe shame… And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next…’ Don’t ever let them normalise their now open psychopathic lust for power and wealth. It’s not normal. It’s an abhorrence.
