Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

This is a really important point. By not being able to express their views in a way that provides evidence to help viewers/readers see a different perspective, then, may I suggest the need to work on their communication skills.

In my humble opinion, our greatest climate adaptation would be to become a nation of #permaculture forest gardeners - but culturally we are a million miles away from that.

600,000 people got on trains, buses to London to protest against the genocide in Palestine today & it wasn’t even on the news. Such is the power of money, it controls everything & everybody, it’s cost, life itself. Therein the answer, get rid of money in favour of equality & life

Every year since 1922, the Urdd have sent a message of peace & goodwill on behalf of the young people of Cymru to young people around the world on 15th May.

This year's Peace and Goodwill Message concentrates on poverty.

Her expressionless face..

The tapping of her ear

How lost she looks

Her little feet on the rubble

Is she, as Netanyahu puts it:

β€œA murderous Islamist terrorist organization”?

Can we be real about this FFS?

β€œWorking less is the most underrated climate solution”. We often talk about system change, but shy away from the systems that shape our daily lives. A shorter working week could reduce emissions, improve lives, and shift values away from consumption. 🌍

British electricity is rapidly being decarbonised. Today is another day where renewables are providing more juice than fossil fuels.

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than Β£2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations.

Reform are NOT for ordinary people.

They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.
