Hi @sosukcharity I am trying to get in touch, but the form on the website seems to be down. Is there an email address? Thanks!

[Dr Sam Earle Ⓥ @samraearle]

@PSutoris Hi Peter, I'm really interested in the sound of this. What's the best way for me to contact you? Cheers, Sam

The UK’s national debt is a strange figure. For example, to most people's surprise it includes all our notes and coins, as well as premium bonds. But much more worrying is the fact that a significant part of it is created by what I think to be dubious accounting. A thread…

'For folks to not understand that this is a Black woman’s issue … it is telling of white supremacy in our society' — Disability rights activist Ola Ojewumi (@Olas_Truth) explains how Chris Rock’s 'joke' at the Oscars is rooted in misogynoir and ableism

One month before Russia invaded Ukraine, I stood trial at the High Court. And now I wait, in purgatory, to be judged.

But I believe this trial and the silence around it - & all the Kremlin's men - has revealed something profoundly rotten at the heart of the British state.

Yes I have a debilitating and incurable chronic illness, and do I have access to treatment? No. But are my symptoms stable? No. But are my doctors empathetic and try to help the best they can? No. But do I at least have my mental health? Also no.

[Dr Sam Earle Ⓥ @samraearle]

For any chronic illness peeps out there who've been worrying -like I have - about what dropping Covid restrictions means for you... Chance to be listened to (for a change!) 🥴😉

Vegan Twitter: what is a good substitute for egg yolks? (for an iranian recipe that bakes whipped yolks!)

[Dr Sam Earle Ⓥ @samraearle]

I know this kind of question is unfashionable among progressive intellectuals, but can true happiness entail rape and the torture and killing of mothers and babies?

I'd really hope not. But if it can, we need new goals.

@ErebusRIC Finish it tonight, at least a draft... And do edits tomorrow morning with fresh eyes. What's it on?

[Dr Sam Earle Ⓥ @samraearle]

@jasonhickel Except that it is very much premised on life. Specifically the taking away - for no good reason, and in the most brutal manner--of literally billions and billions of lives. All these eco/efficiency narratives miss the gravest injustice of all.

@TCVtweets Thanks! The Berkshire TCV are on it and have managed to procure some biodegradable ones.

Hi @TCVtweets I recently emailed about the guards used on Bugs Bottom, North Reading. Several have shattered into thousands on v sharp pieces - dangerous to dogs and wildlife.
Are shatter-proof options available? Not sure plastic littering should be conservation's legacy!

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Abandoned tree guards are a familiar sight across the UK, scattering plastic far and wide. No monitoring or enforcement of grant conditions.
Who guards the guards?

@ClimateHuman @vegix Hi Peter, if you aren't familiar with Dr Michael Greger's work (https://t.co/LVRgiMEGQL), you may find it helpful. There's loads of short vids that review the lit on all facets on nutrition, and plenty of B12.

Since the beginning of time, there have been—in total—about 110 billion humans who have lived and died. We kill more nonhuman animals for food every year. Think about that for a second. Our exploitation of nonhumans represents unparalleled violence: https://t.co/5xjqLcI7mH

Today is #EqualPayDay the point in the year at which women effectively stop getting paid when compared to men. Evidence of systemic economic discrimination.
