“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

This morning’s sunshine has reminded me of the word ‘philocaly’: a love of beauty, even in the smallest things.

More runways , more planes , more fossil fuels . It’s not just sitting idly by , it’s actively accelerating climate collapse in the reckless pursuit of growth in archaic industries instead of a rapid transition to a green economy .

@realseeds.co.uk hey there, just placed my order, but just wanted to say - why do so many packets have SO many seeds?? Your advice is to sow the same year, but there's no way im going to sow 250 climbing beans for example! I wish I could buy in smaller quantities. Just a bit of feedback. Thanks, Lou

70k men in a rape chat. They boasted about rapes and live-streamed assaults. Yesterday, a man set fire to a sleeping woman on a NY subway. People just filmed as he fanned the flames. But all you care about is policing women to say “not all men” as we second guess every man in our life? Fuck off.

Day 21 of #ArtAdventCalendar, Winter Solstice. I watched the sun disappear behind these trees this afternoon. This charcoal drawing was created a few years ago, but the trees look just the same today. The same proud Oaks, silhouetted against the darkening sky. 🌙

Just Stop Oil protestor Gaie Delap, 77 has been sent to prison for Christmas Because the companies Capita, G4S, Airbus, Telefonica and Buddi who run the UK electronic tagging system are too incompetent to make a tag small enough for her. She needs to be released immediately.

From Mary Colwell "IMPORTANT The campaign for a GCSE in Natural History has stalled. Labour see it as a "Conservative initiative" and won't progress it. It is not a political football, every child has the right to learn about the wonder of the natural world. Pls ask you MP to lobby for it now" 🌿

Natural England's own Director of Science found no justification for further badger culls, yet chair of Natural England Tony Juniper approved 26 supplementary cull licenses in May 2024. It's an absolute disgrace. Sign our govt petition to end the cull: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

There is a very simple reason why the UK government refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. If they did, they would be admitting their own complicity in one of the greatest crimes of our time. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Over the past year I’ve been close to 4 people’s treatment for different types of cancer - 3 at London’s UCLH & my Dad down in Yeovil. The NHS may be on its knees funding/resource-wise but what they’re managing to do & how they’re doing it is remarkable across the board. Thank you, NHS. I am in awe.
