May I share an offering as #BlackHistoryMonth comes to an end? I created Libation@60 to mark Ghana Independence in 2017 and translated it into digital format this year (as an experiment). It spotlights the H**tory and impact of the continent of Africa …
#Bristol half marathon causing #trafficchaos stuck taking my 89 yr old mum BRI for MRI scan. Allowed twice the time for the journey now 15 mins late. Un-publicised road closures and distruptions causing unnecessary stress before our appointment @bristolcouncil@Great_Run
The Condition in Congo is definitely sad… Truly Congo is bleeding.
If there is no Congo there will be no widespread of mobile accessories and other devices including electric cars.Cobalt mining for Big Tech like Apple is driving child labor and deaths in the Congo and the world is silent.
The use of forced labor is getting popular in Congo via arms group who are sponsored by several multinational companies to control several mines. The ongoing genocide in Congo is happening because of Congo’s natural and mineral resources and it has ended over 5million people lives and displaced millions.
Truly, Congo is bleeding. #FreeCongo
Esther McVey, Minister for Common Sense, and her husband talk a lot about wasteful public spending. But how careful are they with your money in their own lives? We’ve found out. 👀
@virginmedia@ofcom have been refused access to my virginmedia blueyonder email ac. since October '23 with the welcoming message "forbidden" when I try to log in. I have submitted complaints - no response, all my email contacts are 'locked' inside my account. VM still billing me

@virginmedia No contact with me has been received from virgin media in response to the complaints I submitted via the portal on my virgin media account.
Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done.
Protect people and the planet.

The heart of a blue whale, which can weigh in excess of 1,300 lbs (590 kg), is the size of a small car. The gigantic heart beats 8 to 10 times per minute, and each heartbeat can be heard from over 2 miles (3.2 km) away. Their arteries are so large that a full adult-sized human can swim through them.
At birth, a baby blue whale is already 25 ft long (the size of an adult killer whale) and can drink up to 150 gallons (568 liters) of milk a day, gaining as much as 200 lbs (90 kg) per day in its first year. They feed almost exclusively on krill, which are small, shrimp-like invertebrates that are on average only 1 or 2 centimeters long. They eat 4 to 6 tons of krill a day. As adults, they can grow up to 110 ft (33 m) in length and weigh up to 180 tons.
It's fascinating that throughout history, Earth has been home to some of the biggest animals, but the largest one of them all exists in our timeline, swimming in the deep ocean right now.
