It was here on Bluesky where I saw a picture of James Baldwin and I thought:who is this? A month later I'm halfway through "No Name in the Street" and listened to Glaude's #esglaude compelling audiobook "Begin Again". What an interesting journey! I will read more of his work.
Can highly recommend.

A heron up close, I was so still I forgot to breath. It kindly waited for me to take the picture. #ilovestheDiff

Social media platforms are like pubs. It's up to us which pub we want to hang out in, how many pints we order and how much time we spend in them.

Starting 2 April, all European visitors will need ETA approval to enter the UK.
I would be interested to know what advantages this brings.

Was given a Β£2 scratch card for my birthday and won Β£2
I was tempted to buy a new card but decided to buy these instead. Also had fun scratching.
Win/win 😊

New housing in Essex: free energy for five years Residents who move into a new 113-home site in Epping will have zero energy bills for at least five years

Sweet!

"Octopus says that customers will move into homes with guaranteed zero energy bills for five to ten years."

Apparently they aim to complete 100,000 β€˜Zero Bills’ homes by 2030 and have already rolled out the initiative in Germany & New Zealand.

Nothing ever stays the same but no more return tickets on #StagecoachWales busses? Single journey only which makes my journey more expensive as I kind of do need to come back home after a day in work. Not impressed!

Die Parallelen zum dritten Reich sind einfach da. "Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg?" fragte uns Joseph Goebbels im Sportpalast 1943. Viele Parteien mΓΆgen langweilig erscheinen, doch eine extreme Partei an der Macht hatten wir in Deutschland schon. Lasst uns die Bilder von damals nicht vergessen #wahlen

Great read & listen #UPF is not about nourishing us. It's about profit. It's an industrially produced edible substance that prompts a binge which is harmful to our body and the environment.

The town of Levi in northern Finland hosts the Tree Hugging World Championships. There are three categories: speed hugging (hugging as many trees under a minute), dedication (showing passion and emotion), and freestyle (imaginative ways to hug a tree).
