I am incredibly excited to see our SpeciesNet model released!! This represents years of work by the @WildInsights AI team (and completely impossible without Ștefan Istrate's AI development and implementation effort).

Told again we had to leave, assumed it was loud and maybe they hadn't heard me the first time
"We're customers we're just deciding where to eat."
"You can't be in here with those it's policy."
"Is that just for pride flags or?..."
"Yes."
So we left. Not spending my money there.

It was me, my fiancée and 2 friends standing in a group discussing where to get food and then got told we couldn't be in there because we had flags (wearing like capes). I assumed they thought we were trying to protest so tried to explain we were just looking for food...

[Charley Hasted (they/them) @CharleyHasted]

Was having a great day at #SouthwarkPride until we went to @boroughmarket to try and get some lunch and were told by two security guards it was policy we couldn't come in with our Pride Flags.
Asked if that just applied to Pride Flags "Yes".

Please watch and help spreading it around.

The proposed #decentralisation of the #KewHerbarium collections may seem like an 'investment,' but let's not overlook the potential risks it poses to taxonomy and systematics in the long term as it is relegating it to obscurity, making future neglect likely. #TaxonomyRisk

This is worth watching. Every word.

🚨ALERT! Police have issued a section 35 dispersal order and are forcing people experiencing homelessness to move or face arrest.

This is outrageous from @CamdenCouncil. @MPSCamden must immediately halt this operation. We call on all to get down and help resist.

‘There once was a garden named Kew,
Where flowers of every hue grew.
With orchids and ferns, And plants from all turns, 🌿
It’s a paradise for nature lovers, too!’

1/2 How much does it cost to build a new herbarium big enough for 7+ million specimens? We do know UK tax payers will be paying in excess of £200m ($245million) and likely much more. And why build a new herbarium? The primary justification is that…

Thank you for following @kewkeepers. We need you to help widen our audience. Please repost and like our posts to support Kew science staff, asking the director & trustees to reconsider the move of #KewHerbarium from Kew to a business park 40 miles away using UK taxpayers’ funds.

[Keep Kew Herbarium at Kew @KewKeepers]

Read this comment, and sign the petition. I cannot support the risks involved in moving this collection. It is unnecessary and an extremely bad idea. A U turn by the Trustees is essential, NOW! https://t.co/6tAZ1wjo3s via @UKChange

We could get angry at Suella’s latest piece of performative, pandering cruelty or… instead:
let’s promote the excellent work done by @Shelter, @centrepointuk, @PassageCharity and other fine charities actually trying to help homeless people, especially now, as winter approaches.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Important. Pls spread word
100,000s of people, mostly women age 66+ who took were off work for childcare between 1978 & 2010, are due to get HMRC letter that may be worth £10,000s due to underpaid state pensions. It isn't a scam DON'T bin the letter. See https://t.co/5a9fNY8YFZ

Google's hairy heart in Emoji 4.4 is pretty legendary but TIL about …

Diamond heart (now 💙)
Sweaty heart (now 💚)
and
Light up heart (now 💟)

(For those unfamiliar, hairy heart is now 💛, the result of misinterpreting Unicode's black and white reference images 😆)

Why don't you, a cisgender heterosexual person get a flag?
Why don't you get a pride month?

Let's imagine you are asking this truly in good faith and break it down. 1/
