I found little Butterscotch abandoned in a temple in Thailand. She was barely surviving. Look at her now getting ready to travel to Scotland soon 😍

Prof Richard Brazier, who has conducted much beaver research in England, said: “From our research over the last 10 yrs and wider research around beaver reintroduction globally, the overwhelming consensus on the impacts of wild-living beavers is hugely positive” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Nice piece about how new telescopes could help reveal the birth of the first stars and galaxies 🧪 www.astronomy.com/science/when...

My own dog Hank is huge. People cross the street when they see him in fear. He's not good around other male dogs. However when it comes to sick dogs in my house who need the most serious care...Nurse Hank steps up 🥰🙏 Alba is his 4th patient

Europe needs to invest heavily in renewables and defence. Renewables - to be free of Russia. Defence - to be free of Russia and the US.

Every morning I feed 80 street dogs in Thailand. It's the best feeling in the world. This was today. 🥘 All the food is cooked fresh daily 🐕 We actually provide food for 1000 other dogs daily It's a small part of what we do but it is an absolute joy to see the tails going 🥰

Sunrise number 5 for Alba. She was up smelling the flowers and had a small breakfast of poached salmon (1/2)

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Alba is alive. She made it through the night. I was very worried about the first night. For now we’ll take this big win. Given her name I brought her out to see her first sunrise with me (1/4)

Elon Musk has changed his X profile. His avatar is now Pepe the Frog, a mascot adopted by white supremacists. His name is a Latinisation of “Kek”, a phrase used by neo-Nazis. Musk has also backed AfD in Germany, the political home for racists. The man is telling us explicitly what he’s about.

Wikipedia is useful. Musk and other power-hungry, wealthy people want to enclose it to limit the free and useful information it provides. Donate to help keep it going.

This is a well argued critique of the Starmer-Reeves strategy, by @fletchersimon.bsky.social and the real concern over it fuelling support for Reform. But what about how increased taxes would play politically, and how increased borrowing would impact interest rates? bylinetimes.com/2024/12/20/k...

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

Why Britain’s doctors are in revolt To save the NHS money, the General Medical Council has been pushing the use of physician associates in place of qualified doctors—and putting patients at risk. A must read from @doctoroxford.bsky.social www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

WHAT. THE. FUCK ⁉️

In Perth Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Knife Angel 👼 this is a reminder of knife crime in our local communities. Beautiful and Frightening at the same time 🕰️ 🥺🥺🥺

Seafood Bisque with Crab, Shrimp, and Lobster Well, I'll just leave this right here. I have a feeling this dish will be popular. 🙂 🍽️🍜 #food #foodie #foodsky

#Facts #Science Each second, 1.5 million tons of solar material shoot off the Sun, traveling at 100 miles per second. Our Earth's magnetic field deflects them away.

Looks like I'll have to be patient. Pity the weekend's sky wasn't like tonight. In the mean time here's some colourful Nacreous clouds I captured last December. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

Well I’ve made the move and deleted my Twitter finally. Two days of weird ads, bigoted hatred and animations of borderline CSA has tipped me over the edge I feel better already 😅

This dog was in the shelter for 173 days, This is his first ride home ♥️ #AdoptDon’tShop

Wolf populations are still recovering in Europe 🐺 The EU's decision to lower its protection status lacks scientific basis & creates a dangerous precedent for nature conservation. We debunk the justifications provided by the European Commission 👉 eeb.org/library/call...

I’ve went to the cinema earlier and watched something I found disappointing after being excited to watch it. I’m curious if #filmsky can guess which film it was, or based on the snippet of this review I read online 🤔

This is both sad and infuriating. www.bbc.com/news/article...

United Utilities refuses to disclose data on sewage discharges into Windermere. It illegally dumped sewage in the lake for 500 days, refuses to make the disclosure ordered by the Information Commissioner Nothing will change until profit motive is dumped. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
