I retweet. A lot. Not because I lack original thoughts or ideas (I do comment here & there IF I can add to the conversation rather than just add to the noise) but because so many others say what I’m thinking & are so much more eloquent at it. Or ya made me laugh! Thanks to u all!

Every sheep in the UK has to be shorn for its welfare. There is no choice. Yet the heartbreaking reality is that it often costs more to shear a sheep than the fleece is worth.
So tonnes of beautiful British wool are treated as waste, burned, buried or composted, while we fill our wardrobes with synthetic fibres made from oil that shed microplastics into our rivers and seas.
It feels as though somewhere along the way we’ve forgotten the value of the things nature gives us so generously.
British wool is warm, breathable, biodegradable, renewable and grown every single year by animals already grazing our countryside. It deserves to be treasured, not thrown away.
Perhaps the answer isn’t to produce more. Perhaps it’s to remember what we’ve always had, and start valuing natural materials, skilled craftsmanship and the people who produce them once again.

Our president took away funds from Americans just because they live in a state that voted against him? That violates his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

Why This Penguin Looks Nearly Black:

🐧More dark pigment in the feathers pushes the usual black-and-white pattern toward an almost solid black look

🐧That color shift changes how the bird appears without changing the fact that it’s still a penguin

🐧Rare pigment variants show how small changes can create big visual differences within the same species

🐧Same species, just with a much darker coat

Scotland has just done something quietly brilliant for its birds 🐦

New buildings across the country will now have to include "swift bricks", hollow bricks built straight into the walls that give birds a safe place to nest.

It sounds like a small thing but it isn't. Swift numbers in the UK have fallen by around 60% since the mid-1990s, and one of the biggest reasons is heartbreakingly simple: modern buildings have nowhere for them to go. Swifts have always nested in the nooks and gaps of our houses, and as those disappeared, so did they.

The birds themselves make it worse by being loyal to a fault. Swifts return to the exact same nest site year after year, having flown thousands of miles from Africa to get there.

When they arrive to find it sealed up, some will keep flying at the spot again and again, sometimes injuring themselves in the process.

The bricks cost about £30 each. They need no maintenance, they don't affect insulation, and once they're in the wall, you'd never know they were there. Sparrows, starlings and house martins use them too, all species in trouble for the same reason.

One RSPB conservationist put it starkly. In his part of Glasgow, not a single swift bred in 2025, the first time in his 30 years there. He called it "nothing short of heartbreaking."

Scotland is the first country in the UK to write this into law. Campaigners are now hoping the rest follows.

This is Willie Nelson. He was found on the streets of Mexico severely anemic and missing one eye. He needs a blood transfusion, surgery to close the empty eye socket, and intensive treatment to save his vision. You can help him below ❤️‍🩹

ICE detain U.S. Navy veteran—literally drag him out of bed after open heart surgery.

Born to U.S. citizen father—but ICE refuses to recognize birthright citizenship.

Doctor prescribed cardiac monitoring 24/7 to survive.

Must be moved to medical facility—or it's death sentence.

He has also been prescribed multiple medications for his cardiac condition, PTSD, and other service-connected health issues.

But ICE has not provided these medications to him—according to his family.

Arturo Quinonez Solis is a Gulf War-era Navy veteran who served from 1991 to 1999.

ICE has notified him that he is now marked for expedited removal—and could be deported at any time.

Without even investigating his birthright U.S. citizenship claim.

Jenalyn Lazana, an advocate with Vets Against Mass Deportation, doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
