Bluesky is definitely a kinder place..

However, having weighed everything up I've decided to continue posting here, too

Unfortunately it's a challenge to be seen these days. So, if you see this, please may I ask you to repost, so I can re-find my tribe?

Thank you! 🐝

@Rainmaker1973 The designer was an ornithologist and based the nose on the kingfisher, which dives into water without a splash. The pantograph is based on the way a penguin slides on ice.

@SeanMcCarthyCom Maybe that’s because *having it all* actually meant *doing it all*, women still do the majority of childcare and house work, despite working.
Climate, social and economic crises all tend to impact women more. Any wonder we are unhappy?

@Jo_WhiteheadUK @HelenSalmon2 This is the result of failing to invest in education and allowing the media to be controlled by millionaires with vested interests.
We stopped valuing critical thought and made education about profit and providing a workforce.

We have entered an entirely new phase of the climate crisis, and I am very worried it is not being recognized.

This requires all climate activists to profoundly re-assess, and completely renew their strategies, to avoid wasted effort.

NEVER EVER have I ever seen anything like this before and I have covered many many disasters. With brooms, buckets, food and water in hand, the Valencian community go and help their neighbours ♥️♥️♥️

@BladeoftheS It was mainly apple bobbing when I was a child, but also as I’m from Sussex we were far too busy doing bonfire to notice really.

@EliMcCann This was the first ideological shift I made after having my daughter. The second was always siding with the parent when it came to supermarket meltdowns.

@__shiticantsay Approaching 60, teaching for 30+ years and still have it, but now I also have added ones about exams I am supposed to be writing or organising, and I lose whole classes, or have to teach in a field, (sometimes with added cows, or no clothes)

We need to shut down huge parts of the global economy.

I know, it sounds extreme. But your children won't survive this #ClimateCatastrophe

@CollapseDiaries It’s the acceleration, we used to accept business as usual was going to kill us, now there is genocide, actual war, proxy war and potential Trump hurtling us towards oblivion.

@TreasureBelow And that’s not how English works. Being infinitely subtle, varied and creative means it is also point where Bonny has a view
