Beautiful rain just now in Bham. It’s been a hot day at my parents’ and I’m pretty sure some heating is stuck on. Everything says it’s off, but this house always used to stay cool in summer.

I proof-read daughter’s a-level geography project. It was very long and I felt sorry for teachers having to mark a ton of them. I couldn’t tell if she’d done well or not, turns out she has, so that’s a relief.

#EfES thought for today...💭 Children love learning ways to help improve our environmental systems, but they're even more enthusiastic about taking action. Today Y2s worked to answer the @ministryofeco.bsky.social question "How important are soils?". They're now compost advocates & worm whisperers 😃

1. You feel powerless? Don’t know what you can do to resist the rise of fascism? Here is an answer: Good Things. Fascism inflicts pain and harm as a matter of doctrine. Kindness, care and conviviality defend us from it. The more we build community, the less it can take root. 🧵

This to me is the most striking finding on the depth of UK support for Ukraine. We know there is strong support for Ukraine in general but the fact that it even persists traded off against maintaining relations with for the US is a testament to how deep that support is.

Never believe that anti-Semites are unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. Jean-Paul Fuckin’ Sartre

Yes the super rich have horrendous emissions But they also make unsustainable lifestyles look desirable, use their social and cultural power to perpetuate the idea that everything's fine, and wield their political and financial power to maintain and worsen the status quo

Need a first aider for a volunteering work party in Liskeard; Cornwall Feb 16th. The work is using hand tools to cut down Christmas-tree sized conifers on a hill. No trouble so far but legally need someone. I usually do it but I’ll be up north mangling rhododendrons in a community woodland.

It's New Year's Eve, I'm full of raclette and sitting in my comfy rocking chair - a good opportunity to look back on my favorite reads of 2024 (in no particular order): - 'Mermedusa' by @thomastaylor.bsky.social - the 5th and final book in the Eerie-on-Sea series - I love them all! #booksky
