Crying on the phone to OU student support because you're stressed and burned out is basically what valentine's day is all about, right? πŸ˜›

A playful illustrated title reads β€œHow different birds would act on a first date." A disclaimer underneath states: β€œNot approved by RSPB fact-checkers.” The image features a cute Coal Tit perched sweetly on a blue flower. The background is a romantic shade of pink.

Lots of people don’t have a shark for Shark Week.

Round wooden cafe table, on which is an Americano coffee in an orange mug on a blue saucer, a teeny jug of milk, a recycled glass bottle with some cut flowers and berries in, and a copy of Tolkien's Silmarillion on top of a stack of pads of paper

A dunnock would be major excitement over here πŸ˜‚ I should have gone out yesterday when it was gorgeous clear skies. I think there was a wagtail at the rugby club when I was there

1. The UK government’s pursuit of GDP growth at all costs is an assault on our natural wealth, which will impoverish us all. It might be able to massage the headline figures by converting the living world into money, but it does not improve our lives.🧡
