Smiling volunteer in yellow hi-vis vest stands on a ladder, hanging red and white bunting against a bright blue sky.

You’ve got until midnight Sunday to pitch in and be a Greenbelt volunteer. A few teams still need their final crew. In particular, Stewards (keeping us safe) and Showers (keeping us fragrant). Free ticket, meal vouchers, volunteers lounge, all the perks. Go on! You know you want to.

"But they came here illegally"

1. No, they didn't. Seeking asylum is a human right protected under Article 14 of UDHR.

2. Even if they did, who even gives a fuck?! We would ALL break the law in a desperate situation.

Less chat of legality more chat of justice & morality pls

They're not the same.

Pictures of various birds on branches with light background. There are vertical stripes running down from the birds.

Pictures of various birds on branches with black background. There are vertical stripes running down from the birds. Matches the pattern on the wallpaper in the other image.

Really weird design on this hotel wallpaper and curtains. It appears to be deliberate and not a printing error.

‘Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt.’ - Matthew 2:14

God of Exile,
You were carried into Egypt by people fleeing danger.
We pray for all in exile that they, like you, can find home and shelter and safety.

We've been conditioned to think forests should be neat and tidy, but that's parkland: a domesticated version.

REAL forest ecosystems are wild, tangled, and unruly.

A striking bird with deep blue wings, chestnut flanks, and a long pointed bill perches among dense green foliage. Pale silvery plumes extend from its head and neck, and its feathers shimmer with fine detail.

The Agami Herons are very busy right now collecting twigs for their nests. One adult will collect sticks and then the mates will debate the best location for said twig. I'm going to spend some time over the next few weeks documenting the nesting of these amazing birds.

Plastic pollution isn't just about litter. It's also fuelling the climate crisis and destroying wildlife.

That's why we need a Global Plastics Treaty that sets legally binding limits on single-use plastics. It's about using less, not just recycling more.

Big oil doesn't want this. We demand it.

🔥 Well said these MPs.

This government now appears to be deliberately misleading the house on their position on Israel & Gaza.

Everyone write to your MPs and ask where their voice is.
