Travelling, long hot days to escape from fibromyalgia and hypermobility, eating good vegan food and planning the next escape… always!

Noam Chomsky "We are approaching the most dangerous point in human history."

He was right.

@grantshapps Fearmongering like this is a fascist move. Shameful

[Poppy Struben @PoppyKaliope]

@RishiSunak This is insanity - how could you think anyone except for far-right nationalists would want this?! Actually disgusted to think someone like you has ever been able to make decisions for this country.

@Keir_Starmer This contradicts a lot of what you've said your policies are. Empty words mean nothing. Red Tory.

I’m sick of water companies getting away with dumping sewage. To them, fines are the cost of doing business. I just backed plans to take #SharesNotFines off polluting water companies and start putting the public in charge. @JimFromOldham @ThereseCoffey https://t.co/txuajpNraQ

When you report a tweet for harassing, 'Holocaust denial' is explicitly mentioned as a reason for reporting.

And yet @X @Support responds that such antisemitic, hateful, Holocaust denial post does not break their safety policies.

IUCN Red List threatened blue marlin killed for sport and a cash prize at the White Marlin Open yesterday.

The global corporations who sponsor this slaughter of rare species include Mercedes-Benz, Under Armour, Miller Lite and Scania Group.

Can you magine the outrage if this was a lion hunt?

The biodiversity we know arose from pollination 100 million years ago.
You can plant🌳 or wind turbines, reduce GHGs, stop ocean pollution, if there are no more pollinators, it's over.

As parliament debate #AccessToNature today, a personal essay.

Deep in my valley is a tree so old it makes my bones ache. There are only a handful like it in the country, and its boughs harbour some of our oldest stories.

Yet almost no-one has ever seen it. 🧵
