❤️🗣️ Gabriel Magalhães on missing the decisive penalty in the Champions League final:
“I felt terrible. I felt like I had let my teammates down. For a moment, I felt worthless.
But what happened afterwards surprised me. The love and support from Arsenal fans was beyond anything I could have imagined.
The staff, my teammates, everyone at the club stood by me. But the fans were incredible. They bought my shirt, shared messages of support, created pictures and videos, and flooded social media with encouragement.
They reminded me that mistakes are part of football and that one moment does not define a person or a season.
I will never forget the love you showed me during one of the hardest moments of my career.
Thank you, Arsenal family. ❤️
👀In London's heatwave last week, @cityoflondon took the temperature - same day & time - in 2 nearby public squares.
The difference is green infrastructure. Urban tree canopy & vegetation are vital for coping with the climate crisis.
That's why we're planting 🌳🌳 across LDN
We were told tree maintenance is on a 5yr cycle and that was the end of it.
We call on Parks to please pay more attention to our neglected trees. This time it hit cars, next time can potentially be much worse.

a lot of people who’ve never said a word about iain tomlinson, blair peach, orgreave, sexcops, alfie meadows or richard o’brien are suddenly very concerned about white people experiencing police brutality.

highly recommend owning a cat because it makes dealing with every negative emotion a little bit easier. it's difficult to feel the full weight of crushing reality when a little freak is doing olympic laps around your home after taking a loud shit
The current protections given to bird nests in the Wildlife & Countryside Act are woefully inadequate & this story by @sandralaville is yet another reason as to why.
The law currently only protect the nests of most birds whilst those nests are in use, so nesting holes used by generations of birds like swifts can be legally destroyed outside nesting season. Even where nests are in active use, it’s hard to get evidence of their destruction & the police do not take such crimes seriously.
We need to change the law to protect the ancestral nesting hole sites of birds like swifts and sand martins when they are not in use & give serious thought to protecting the ancestral nesting habitat of birds like nightingales as well. We also need to set up & fund a proper wildlife police force that takes the destruction of active bird nests seriously.
@alexfrco I never think it's great to scrutinise these things too closely. Trust and friendship bonds are very precious and should be fostered in as many directions as possible, without suggesting that any particular grouping is good or bad. These kids all have enough attention on them.
