enjoy seeing this woman's work. sustainability is not just about buying "quality" clothing (a more nuanced concept than some give credit for), but also a person's willingness to pay what it costs to repair things when they wear down.

If you're feeling the worries and noise of the world at the moment, I'm sending you this beautiful walk among the chestnut trees, the pale sun flickering through the leaves and falling in pools of light on the ground. The river is sparkling at the end of the lane, and all around the birds are singing out into the morning as the mist clears. I hope it brings a little Peak District calm to your day.
📍 Peak District, England
The writing on a fur-covered keyboard actually had an end result. Very pleased that this will be out soon.

On this day in 2022, a fat faced tabby was caught in a trap. Scared, hungry, and sick with pneumonia, he spent some time in the ICU. The rest is history, but I like to consider today, his shelter intake date, Fishtopher's "birthday."
Hamish is under our care and looking for a new home as his owner sadly can't look after him anymore due to circumstances changing.
He is very loving and bright. Hamish is a 9 month old Jack Russell Cross.
He is very intelligent and quick to learn.
He is good with older kids and can be excited meeting new people. Children 7+ would be suitable, preferably children that are dog savvy.
He hasn't had any issues with other dogs. He is very friendly.
Hamish is chipped and healthy with no medical issues. He is also registered at the vets and up to date with all his vaccinations.
He would suit a home with no cats.
Hamish eats a mix of James Wellbeloved Chicken and Rice and sleeps on his cushion and blanket at night.
He is good off the lead and has some recall if you say ''Hamish Come''.
He can be left on his own, usually for up to 2 hours.
Hamish loves treats and normally has natural ones.

BREAKING: James Talarico just released an incredible video reminding every American what hope feels like. This is the best political ad we've seen in a long time.
If you were an undocumented immigrant, why would you have any desire to vote? You. Wouldn't.
Talk about unnecessarily flagging yourself for deportation.
The Republican party has sold this lie for years.
It has never made sense.
That's why they continue telling the lie: the people they're lying to have no requirement that it make sense.
They just love to hate.
It gives them a reason to.
Canada's $2.3B pivot away from Starlink isn't just about internet-it's a massive warning shot to Elon Musk over Ukraine.
PM Mark Carney directly cited Musk's sudden service cuts and data restrictions to Ukraine as the exact reason Canada must achieve total strategic autonomy. No ally wants to rely on one unpredictable billionaire who can pull the military plug during a war.
Canada isn't just protecting itself. The $2.3B contract expands Ottawa-based Telesat Lightspeed into a military-grade satellite network meant for secure Arctic and NORAD defense.
Telesat confirmed they plan to deploy this secure system directly to Ukraine and other allied nations.
Canada is literally funding the un-pluggable backup system Ukraine has been looking for. 🇨🇦

Baxter is a male black cat, aged around 4-5 years old. He is looking for a new home as sadly he was left behind when his owner was evicted.
He has been looked after since by a cat charity and their friends, however as the colder months are now here, he would need a cosy warm home to call his own.
He is very friendly and stays close to his female carer. He will also eat anything, not fussy.
We have very limited information on Baxter due to the circumstances of his life.
He would make a great companion pet for someone who is on their own, no other pets or young kids - older children 9+ would be okay.
For more information or to offer Baxter a new home please email [email protected]
First bingo card finished.
Prize and second bingo card acquired.
Not sure I’ll have time to complete this one. Technically you get a prize for every bingo you make, but I have handicapped myself and only do one per blackout.
BREAKING: YEE-HAW! James Talarico BLASTS Elon Musk for dumping endless dirty money into his MAGA opponent’s war chest: “Texas is not for sale!”
He should have known better than to mess with Texas…
“They are spending $200 million against us,” said Talarico. “It's why those billionaire megadonors are so invested in electing Ken Paxton and stopping us. And I should say it's actually just one billionaire megadonor…”
“Elon Musk is trying to buy this Senate seat in Texas,” he said bluntly. “We just found out that he is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement we built in our state.”
“In all likelihood, if you have seen an attack ad on your TV, that was Elon.”
“If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon.”
“If you've received a text message saying scary things about me, that was Elon too.”
“Our movement is funded by 1.3 million individuals who have given to our campaign,” Talarico said. “Ken Paxton is funded by one dude. Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water.”
On that point, there can be no argument. Musk has pumped a firehose of cash into the campaigns of MAGA crooks like Governor Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton. In return he has received billions in tax incentives and tens of millions in grants. One filthy hand washes the other.
“He wants his very own personal United States Senator,” said Talarico. “He is trying to buy Texas. But on November 3rd, we are going to send a crystal clear message to the world's first trillionaire.”
“Texas is not for sale!” Talarico concluded.
This choice could not be any clearer.
On one hand, you have a Democrat advocating for better healthcare, an end to pointless wars, higher wages, an expansion of housing construction, and banning Congressional stock trading.
On the other hand, you have a Republican who was impeached by his own party for bribery, funded by anti-American billionaires, who will serve as nothing but a rubberstamp for Trump’s destructive agenda.
Choose wisely, Texas. Your children will live with the consequences!
Please ❤️ and share if you think that Talarico is crushing it!
We suspected this was the reason Ukraine’s access to Starshield was restricted. But to see it from senior officials in this reporting is still utterly unconscionable.
Let’s be absolutely clear about what this means. The Trump Administration deliberately restricted technology Ukraine relies on to intercept Russian drones and ballistic missiles. It made it harder for Ukraine to defend itself and easier for Russia to carry out its deadly attacks against Ukrainian civilians.
They knew exactly what was at stake. They knew that more Russian drones and missiles would get through, allowing Russia to kill even more Ukrainians. And yet they went ahead anyway.
This is a deliberate weaking of Ukraine’s defenses that only Russia will benefit from. It is a betrayal of our ally that this Administration cannot wash its hands of.
The American people deserve to know who made this decision, why they made it, and how they can possibly justify putting more innocent Ukrainian lives in the crosshairs of Putin’s war machine.

Our CEO, Cassandra Costello, is getting around! We know that, as she is learning about the various departments, that we’re able to share some insight too by shadowing Cassandra as she is shadowing staff!
She recently shadowed primary lemur keeper, Lori, who gave her a rundown of who’s who, why they vocalize the way they do, and how we accommodate each lemur’s individual needs.
