Hay algo que nunca dejará de sorprenderme: los mismos perros que muchas veces son abandonados, golpeados, encadenados o tratados como si no sintieran, hoy están arriesgando su vida para salvar la nuestra. 🐾

Mientras el terremoto en Venezuela ha dejado dolor y desesperación, estos héroes de cuatro patas no se detienen a preguntar quién los amó y quién los lastimó. Guiados por su instinto de ayudar, buscan entre los escombros a personas que aún esperan una oportunidad para vivir. Ellos nos demuestran que la lealtad, la compasión y el amor no necesitan palabras.

Ojalá algún día la humanidad aprenda de los animales. Ellos no conocen el odio, la maldad ni la crueldad con la que muchas veces son tratados. Merecen respeto, protección y una vida digna. Si un perro es capaz de salvar la vida de un desconocido, ¿cómo es posible que todavía existan personas capaces de hacerles daño? Que esta tragedia también nos deje una gran enseñanza: ningún ser vivo merece sufrir. Cuidemos a quienes, incluso con el corazón roto, nunca dejan de creer en nosotros. 🐾❤️

Another heatwave predicted here for about ten days time.
Maybe worse than the current one.

We should start naming them the way we name storms, and name them after climate deniers and fossil fuel companies.

[Dr. Serge Zaka (Dr. Zarge) @SergeZaka]

Cela fait maintenant cinq jours qu'on enregistre 42 et 45°C en France. Soit la plus grosse anomalie de l'Histoire de la météorologie française, tous mois confondus.

Et les premiers retours du terrain sont malheureusement très préoccupants, en particulier dans l'ouest du pays : mortalités importantes dans certains élevages, explosion des admissions en soin pour les oiseaux en pleine période de naissance, défaillance de la végétation en cultures non irriguées dans le Centre-Ouest, brûlures foliaires et florales sur de nombreuses cultures maraîchères et viticoles, arrêt quasi complet de la croissance de la prairie, multiplication de feux hors zones habituelles, ainsi que les premiers signes de défoliation précoce sur les arbres (alors qu'on est qu'en juin...).

Je sais, c'est pas joyeux, mais c'est factuel. Et nous ne sommes qu'au début du bilan. Les conséquences agronomiques de cet épisode exceptionnel continueront probablement à se révéler dans les jours et les semaines à venir. Surtout qu'une violente sécheresse s'installe sur nos sols.

UK universities trying to sell academic degrees while cutting its own academic workforce

[Ameer Kotecha @Ameer_Kotecha]

This heatwave really is showing how dysfunctional our country is becoming.

We are fighting to be allowed AC.

The trains have been cancelled and/or we are being told not to use them (what, to work in our non-AC homes?)

Someone passed out on a Tube I was on - unsurprising as it is a sauna.

And now we’re being told to limit water use and being slapped with hosepipe bans because we’ve failed to build enough reservoirs.

It’s been hot for less than a week. And our national infrastructure has basically already collapsed.

Let’s treat this as a wake up call

The standard 5-day, 40-hour work week is a form of modern-day corporate slavery. It was invented over a century ago for factory workers and makes absolutely no sense for the modern era. You spend the best days of your life making someone else rich while getting two days to clean and rest.

A 4-day work week has been proven to increase productivity, happiness, and overall mental health. We are sacrificing our families and our health just to uphold an arbitrary, outdated industrial schedule.

[Vittoria @vitt2tsnoc]

Closing schools & giving PPE workers early finishes in 38°C heat isn't a soft option, it's basic sense. Med countries change their hours because heatstroke kills. Asking kids to boil & crews to collapse isn't "grit", it's stupidity. Protecting people is normal. Log off, boomers.

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

Everyone should have air conditioning.

But if we don’t dismantle fossil capital and phase out coal, oil, and gas, whatever our politics, we will just keep getting hotter and hotter, and all the a/c in the world won’t enable you to function in society or have enough food to eat.

The mole is the most persecuted animal in British gardens. And nearly always over a misunderstanding. 🐾

What the mole actually eats: earthworms, grubs, leatherjackets, slugs and small invertebrates. Never roots. Never.

The damage it gets blamed for — dead plants with their roots destroyed — almost always comes from voles, which are a completely different animal. The mole digs, but it doesn't eat your plants. The vole is the one that really does.

What the mole actually does in your garden:

It aerates and loosens the soil with its tunnel system, working as deep as 70cm down. It clears out beetle grubs and leatherjackets — the ones that really do eat roots. And it helps keep soil invertebrate numbers in natural balance.

The soil from molehills is quality stuff — fine, already worked, ideal as compost for pots and seed trays. Don't throw it away; collect it.

Worth knowing: Britain has just one mole species, the European mole, found right across the mainland. So if you've got molehills, this is your gardener underground.

Before you act, identify the problem properly. If the roots are being eaten, it's voles. If the lawn has molehills but the roots are intact, it's a mole. The remedies are different — and confusing the two means treating the wrong problem.

The mole works for you. Beneath your feet, every night 🌱

I am deeply saddened by the loss of life & widespread destruction caused by the devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela.

The UN system is mobilizing assistance & working closely with the Government & our partners to support the response & the people of Venezuela.

I extend my sincere condolences to the families of the victims & wish a speedy recovery to those injured.
