Please don’t throw rubbish out of your car windows when you are on a motorway. I litterpicked this area last weekend and now the cans and bottles are building up again.

I’ve spent my entire career fighting for the middle class and standing up to the abuse of power.

Donald Trump has spent his entire career looking out for himself and abusing his power.

#WhatIsIt This is about 2 inches of water in the bottom of an old pot tray that I'm moving, that has been colonised by some sort of organism. Does anyone know what it is? Baby Newt? Parasite? Good, bad, dangerous, not? Size range = 4-6mm body,3-7mm tail

@KLLauer @MariaNelmes @MrAndrewCotter Surely he's a puppy? How old is he? (I am available to puppy-sit anytime 😃)

In the light of #DontBuyTheSun trending amidst their tasteless J.K. Rowling front page, take a look at the Power and Control wheel which is designed as a tool to identify domestic abuse tactics.

The Sun should not act as a medium for the continuation of abuse.

Searching above the farm for any view of the first private rocket to carry astronauts to the #ISS only to find it was scrubbed due to weather. Very best of luck to @SpaceX for their next launch window on Saturday.

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

On Wednesday, two NASA astronauts plan to travel to space atop a SpaceX rocket. It will be the first time a private company has flown humans to orbit and the first time astronauts have launched from US soil since NASA retired the Space Shuttle in 2011. https://t.co/0YCPztxtai

@BBCradio4 #HelenSharman is not just an 'astronaut' she is the FIRST British astronaut of either sex. Young British girls need to see British women's achievements celebrated. Next 26th May is the 30th anniversary of Helen's arrival at MIR. Perhaps plan a special show on Helen.

@socialeready Yeah that's what I'm afraid of too, the horror of a bird trapped. I'm so glad you were able to free it. I like the idea of just planting more to share🍒

[Little Piece of Land @LittlePieceLand]

Our #wildcherry are starting to #fruit. Six year old #trees have fruited for at least the last four years & the birds have so far left us not one #cherry from 250 trees. Refuse to net the trees but thinking about small #nets around just a few bunches so I can try at least one 🤨

[Little Piece of Land @LittlePieceLand]

@absolutelywild @Greengrumbler That's really interesting, I just assumed they would take everything, now you've told me that I'll keep a closer eye to see if any trees are left alone. Weird hunh? Only thing I can think is perhaps those trees are in the open near predators like a buzzard?

The #bees are back today drinking from this pot which is sunk in a bowl of water. Apparently they prefer to drink like this. #WildlifeWednesday #pollinators #gardeningtips

Can we make this a weekly event? My artwork certainly isn't amazing, but this was so much fun. It's been great seeing everybody's art tonight. #LifeDrawingLive @BBCFOUR @bbcarts

[Little Piece of Land @LittlePieceLand]

@MikieH71 Esther your work is so good, you must do more of it 💚

[Little Piece of Land @LittlePieceLand]

@sladey66 @BBCFOUR Kat/Cat made me feel proud of her strength 💚

[Little Piece of Land @LittlePieceLand]

#Lifemodel Kat/Cat 💕 you are a beautiful and brave human being, I'm so sorry I couldn't do you justice.

#LifeDrawingLive @BBCFOUR

[Madeleine @mdlnh]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed that 👍#LifeDrawingLive @BBCFOUR Thank you, more please!

[Little Piece of Land @LittlePieceLand]

#LifeDrawingLive

Ok I'm complaining a lot but this could be so good if @BBCFOUR got it right.

Hard to draw a figure that is almost out of focus and so far away.

Zoom in @BBCFOUR and then switch off all but one light to make the shadows go in one direction.

Please

@BBCFOUR

Please don't let your male presenter dominate and make the whole show about him.

Please.

[Little Piece of Land @LittlePieceLand]

#LifeDrawingLive
Yuk.
Again.

@BBCFOUR
Pose too busy
Lighting created conflicting shadows.

We don't need a narrative (story) for each pose.

Just a stream of nice poses of the human body (sans props) (lit from one direction) would be so much better.
