Wednesday. You're halfway through the week ⭐

As the days begin to get shorter in the northern hemisphere, set the tone of your day with a productive morning like our team had at the training minefield in Tanzania. Have a good one!

@RGRyan777 I have an obsession with language, any language, currently feeding my writers-insomnia with K-dramas. Whenever I finish a poem, the first thing I do is get a member of my family to read it back to me out loud. The joy.

It feels like (X) Twitter has been blocking people from following us

We've been stuck at 132,000 followers for ages

Maybe the fight to save the NHS isn't important for Elon Musk but it is for us

If you see this please RT and give us a follow

@stepha_henson After watching humans land on the moon, as a young child, I concluded that everything must be possible. Still writing 🤗🤗

@jbharrisbooks This made me laugh. I didn’t know quite how awesome my partner was until he quietly and politely archived all my writing digitally for me. We both love Star Wars and it feels awesome to share life here in Nerdsville.

We are reaching out!🖐

Well Opal is! 🐈

We really need help! Cost of living crisis is a crisis for our sanctuary.
Falling donations & rising costs.

I'm working extreme amounts of hours to get all the work done.
I need help!

Can any big companies help fund/sponsor an employee?

[APOPO @herorats]

@JennyMitchellGo yes, hard to submit and hard to read, edit and as a result i missed two vital typos but it was still well-received

[APOPO @herorats]

Early bird! Another beautiful day dawns at our training minefield in #Tanzania. Sokoine begins his early morning training learning to sniff out landmines ❤️🐭

@Carrie_Etter More prose poetry and editing existing poems for typos. Not very good at self-editing.

[APOPO @herorats]

"Before APOPO came, my land was full of landmines, but work is life, we couldn’t survive without farming the land.” Eduardo.

In 2022, #APOPO cleared over 2 million m2, benefiting 13,790 people, destroying 734 landmines and other remnants of war in Cuanza Sul province, #Angola.
