If you want to force our #leaders to listen, let's make 'We Tried' by @louisehmusic our first #climate#Christmas number 1 🌟
All we need to do is buy 'We Tried' for 59p before midnight this Thursday with all proceeds going to #climatecauses! 🌍💚

This morning, youth campaigners from #LostLessons hand delivered a 'report card' for @bphillipsonMPas at the @educationgovukpart as part of their Teach-In, demanding we "tackle the rise of the far-right in the UK" by "recovering the lost lessons" of an anti-racist curriculum!!
📣 Ever had that weird dream where the whole world 🌍 is heading for catastrophe 😱, and someone tells you 🗣 that to help stop it 🛑, all you need to do is pay 59p ��� to get a song to Christmas No.1? 🎄
Well, this time, it's not a dream! 😳
Buy the climate anthem We Tried (59p) on iTunes, Amazon & BandCamp before midnight Thurs 21 Dec ⏰, and ask 🙏 10 friends to buy it! 1 sale affects the charts 100-600 times more 📈 than 1 stream. All proceeds go to climate causes. 💚
➡️ Follow this link to buy your own copy, then share, share, SHARE it far and wide: https://t.co/hWI5M0hvOh (or distrokid link?)
OK, so having a climate song topping the charts at Christmas won't solve the crisis overnight, but it would be a big deal: the message that people want more urgent climate action will be much harder to ignore! ✊

🎤 Louise Harris, who scaled a gantry over the M25 in support of Just Stop Oil last year, performed her single 'We Tried' outside Rishi Sunak's house this evening.
🎵 This song has already hit Number 1 in the iTunes singles chart, and is climbing in the Top 40 Global Charts.
Please retweet and like to help get this heartfelt and powerful song to no. 1 in the charts for Christmas. You'll be in good company - @ChrisGPackham is calling for it to be no. 1 and @brianeno backs it!
It already peaked at no. 5 in the official radio 1 downloads chart last week. All proceeds donated to #climate causes. My friend @louisehmusic will be so grateful. Thanks!

Homonyms
Today in English, my teacher said
“words can have more than one meaning,
depending on their context”.
This lesson sounded familiar.
Similar to learning how an object
can have more than one purpose,
relative to survival...
