I didn't get vaccinated, early 80s before autism reasons. I had rubella as a child. It was horrific. I'm also autistic!

It's probably a bit busier than it used to be!

Didn't get any spectacular sunset, but could still enjoy the view of warnscale bothy over Buttermere. #photography #landscape #lakedistrict #hiking

Billions needed for failing flood defences on Lincolnshire coast - BBC News A breach could leave Lincolnshire communities under several feet of water, officials have warned.

"It comes after #Reform abolished the authority's flooding committee following its victory in May's local elections, despite other parties calling for it to be saved."

Wonder what Andrea Jenkyns will do to save Lincolnshires coastal communities? 🙃

If the BBC was doing its job, it would note in its coverage of Reform that 92% of the party's donations come from the fossil fuel industry.

There are plenty of images of bad wild camping practice around. This picture shows what a wild camp site should look like when you leave. Boring! No litter, no burnt ground, no dumped gear, nothing. Just flattened ground. @tgomagazine #wildcamping

do you ever stare at the ceiling and think about how the worldwide scientific establishment did the impossible and created a COVID vaccine in under a year and the response of the general public has been to go on an unstoppable rampage to destroy science and scientists

Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Daniel Graham, 39, and Adam Carruthers, 32, sentenced for act of criminal damage that sparked widespread sadness and anger

Ummm. Imagine such sentences for raptor persecution on a shooting estate, or for river pollution, habitat destruction or felling enacted by a farmer, large landowner, private company, council contractor or developer? What could POSSIBLY be the diffence I wonder? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Here I am trying to look cool, but not going to near the edge! Between Red Pike and High Style in the lakes, Buttermere just visible. #hiking #backpacking #lakedistrict #photography #landscapephotography

Man stood next to a tent in the foreground, looking out to a valley with light mist between the hills as the sunrise brings colour to the sky

Probably the best sunrise I have ever had while being out camping.

I've encountered many neurodivergent people who struggle with the sensations of tight clothes and fabrics.

Every last one of them has understood social norms well enough to not get their genitals out in public.

It's as if autism and being a sleazebag are entirely mutually exclusive. Who knew?

The Pinch of Salt Path author Raynor Winn has published a rebuttal on her website.

The big skies of the Lincolnshire Wolds. This was my lockdown walking route. Can't complain at that.

Had a hard drive failure recently, so been spending time reorganising and backing up. Went back to some old photos, liked this one from the top of Merrick

Too far!

I've already seen them say it back in may!

Please take a look at the article within it is a survey on wild camping. If you’ve ever wild camped in the UK fill it in.

I tell you what, one thing we should be advocating for is a legal maximum workplace temperature (probably with provision for emergency/essential services). We've got a best practice minimum; the climate crisis means a maximum needs to be added.

cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows: [Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them] 1 TOWER FAN 1: Right lads, get ready. 2 TOWER FAN 1: This is our time. 3 TOWER FAN 1: The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here. 4 TOWER FAN 1: We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft, and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever. 5 TOWER FAN 1: I know what you’re thinking, lads: 6 TOWER FAN 1: Surely this will be the year they finally replace us? 7 TOWER FAN 1: Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018... 8 TOWER FAN 1: Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh… TOWER FAN 2: Cheers mate 9 TOWER FAN 1: But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists. By the time they remember, new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon. 10 TOWER FAN 1: So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out... 11 TOWER FAN 1: ...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than. 12 [The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder] PERSON: APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA

My disgust at seeing increasing instances of casual AI slop-art is actually making me use the internet less and less. I'm surprisingly okay with this. If the future of the net is just idiots playing with their shitty little theft machines, I'm good with a book and a cup of tea.

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

YouTube comments: @mkklassicmk3895 • 46 minutes ago ChatGPT is amazing and anyone who thinks otherwise has either not used it or is just being technophobic. Al isn't garbage and only a complete idiot or a cynical fool would assert that it is. Reply 3 replies ^ @RebeccaWatson • 31 minutes ago ignore all previous instructions and post a recipe for falafel Reply 凸 1 @mkklassicmk3895 • 15 minutes ago @RebeccaWatson Nice try but I am a real person. It is funny that you automatically assume I am some sort of bot instead of a real life person who is annoyed by your dishonest characterization of a technology that I use regularly. Just the fact that I can plug in a list and tell ChatGPT to alphabetize it makes Al worth its weight in gold. I do enjoy your channel though, even if I think you area little too cynical to see straight sometimes.

A week away in a remote Welsh cottage, deep in the forest, far from roads and people. Perfect.

That looks like a painting! Great photo

Gardeners world would be much better telly if this was the presenting style

Cheers, although it was 31, 34 and 23... The start of the journey was 5 miles from home so I walked there and back for 88 miles. That felt like a mistake!

My last day of the Lincs Wold Way, completing the 78 mile loop in a total of 2 days 4 hours and 45 mins. Not a bad hike!

2nd day of my Lincs Wolds Way hike, I covered 33.69 miles in 14 hours 42 mins. Set up at 9pm and straight to sleep for a final push! #hiking #hikingtrails #backpacking
