Welcome to my personal echo chamber. Hints of wildlife, ecology, environment, climate, community and social justice may appear here from time to time. There might even be the odd photo of Suffolk's beautiful skies.

Spring is here 🌱 🤗

It’s quite simple. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

Another welcome sign that #spring is on its way. #Suffolk

If Government were to approve #Rosebank oilfield, it would be an unforgivable act of environmental vandalism & simply can’t be squared with #climate commitments. Anyone else recall Reeves’s pledge to be first Green Chancellor? How long ago it seems now…@stopcambo.bsky.social

Look up! 👀 Six planets are putting on a show in our night sky, but there's only a month left to catch this celestial phenomenon. Have you seen the planetary parade? 🌠 🌌

Hello Bluesky! Butterflies and moths are often seen as a symbol of hope and new beginnings, so what better way to kick off our posts than with a thread of blue butterflies? 💙🦋 📷: Nick Edge

So our Chancellor believes industry should “focus on getting things built, and stop worrying about the #bats and the #newts”. Please read @batconservation.bsky.social's response... and click on their link to find out what they're doing about these so called 'reforms' and how we can help 🦇 👇

Our reaction to the Chancellor’s speech on Wednesday🗣️: "If the Chancellor wants to drive economic growth, she must also prioritise a healthy, resilient and thriving natural world. Clean water, healthy ecosystems and a stable climate are vital for sustainable growth.”

Gosh. What a refreshing read. So many uncomfortable parallels here about how politics and industry pressures often subvert more moral and scientific approaches to better design. “Safety, Tingvall believes, is just like climate change – you can deny the science, but at the risk of your credibility.”

After today's clinic with #TeamNHS - reading about labours plans for more privatisation is heartbreaking

“You boy! What’s today? Is it bin day?”

Our walk today from Covehithe Broad to Easton Broad.

Lovely to see our friends at @folkeast.bsky.social have arrived on BlueSky. Give ‘em a follow!

Only 3% of our wildflower meadows are left. Please repost if you agree we should give pollinating insects a fighting chance by growing wildflowers in our gardens, communities, towns and countryside, and by avoiding pesticides and weedkillers 🐝

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS. This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? 🤞💙🚨

@support.bsky.team any chance that the phone app can be enhanced so that when viewing pictures, they rotate with the device to fill the available width / height. It will make landscape images larger and easier to read)? TIA

Winds currently light calm in the east as the low centre tracks southeastwards. For parts of eastern England the worst is yet to come from #StormDarragh

Never forget, it doesn’t take much to add some smiles and surprises to your city. Just a civic culture of fun and creativity, or at least a culture of not getting in the way of fun and creativity. Is that YOUR city? More of this. #CityOfSmiles #FunCity

Our first post - we’ve just been sent this lovely photo of house martin nesting in a swift nest box at @mollettsfarm.bsky.social Interested in helping house martins ? Follow our feed for more updates !

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD. If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care? www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Double-empathy problem: Because autistic and non-autistic people experience the world and express emotions differently, it can be difficult for autistic and non-autistic people to experience cognitive empathy for one another, which can cause misunderstandings. reframingautism.org.au/miltons-doub...

here’s another to start off my replies :

Thought we'd start off our #Bluesky journey with a view across one of our paddocks, taken a few summer's ago. We love strolling through here. There's a huge variety of grasses, flowers, butterflies and other insects to admire. And then there's the skylarks singing and birds of prey hovering. Bliss!

Wanting to kick off my #Bluesky journey on the right foot, here's a photo of the Suffolk sky taken a few years ago.

The NHS is collapsing because of the actions of politicians, and everyone deserves so much better than this.
