This week, Chile announced a proposed new constitution written by a democratically elected convention, and it is likely the most legitimate constitution in the world, as it is written boldly in the context of the climate crisis. A 🧵on its inspiring climate provisions.

@davidmacdougall Reminded me of this classic photo of our former president Kekkonen. 😀

I’m excited about our tree planting event tomorrow at #NewcastleUniversity as part of @RefugeeWeek
The photo shows a collaborative art work- ‘They Who plant a Tree, Plant Hope’ by @NEST_NUSU learners.
We have been working on the theme of ‘what is home?’

'They Who plant a Tree, Plant Hope'

1/3 Our second @RefugeeWeek tree planting took place at Jesmond Community Orchard on Sunday.
We walked and carried our beautiful fig tree accross the city from @NEST_NUSU base at the University to the Orchard.

"Planting trees of sanctuary will mark the journeys travelled by plants and people, and how both put down roots in their new homes, bearing fruit, bringing beauty and becoming welcome and familiar members of our ecologies." ~ artist Henna Asikainen

@tomhfh Do you get paid by the humiliation? Is it like piece work -a certain number of humiliations per week? Chin up - you’re doing very well for yourself if so…

@IanLaveryMP @turley45 Another. The smoke rising in the background is somebody's home, the police laughed and made the owner watch it burn. Thatcher waged war on any community she saw as a threat to capitalist greed, proclaiming "people should be free to choose, so long as they make the right choice".

Queen Elizabeth II had two severely disabled first cousins who were publicly pronounced dead in 1940 and 1961 respectively

However, they were actually hidden in a care home for mentally disabled people without any visits or support from the royal family until their deaths
