“[W]e are clearly on a pathway now of 2.7 degrees or 3 degrees where adaptation is simply not doable anymore. This is just what it is. We cannot protect Amsterdam from sea level rise of three meters. This is just not doable”

Well, everyone knows this - except Starmer and Reeves

Well done! You should be proud.

What is the ratio of armed angry citizens to asshole politicians?

When you stop measuring, you stop being accountable.

My pleasure :)

This graph shows Earth’s air holding record water vapour.. the highest in history! More heat = more evaporation = more trapped heat. It’s a feedback loop driving floods, storms, and deadly humidity. The climate system is destabilising, fast. This is what breakdown looks like.

Marine heatwave found to have engulfed area of ocean five times the size of Australia World Meteorological Organization report says record heat in 2024 was driven by climate crisis and intersected with extreme weather events

Here’s the truth: no one is coming to save us. The systems are rigged to serve capital, not life. We build resilience from the ground up, or we don’t survive.

If you're not hating the people in the small boats you will be hating the people in the Private Jets.

Look up not down, that's where the thieves are.

Someone referred to Karoline Leavitt as Taco Belle, and I just couldn’t resist.🤭

Remember when Michael declared global tariffs under emergency powers and got shut down by a trade court? No? Even Michael wasn't that stupid.

Trump stands at a White House podium, flanked by familiar TV characters, their expressions blending confusion, silent panic, and resigned complicity- capturing the absurdity and grim reality of a nation in decline.

Every Trump press briefing feels like a scripted mockumentary about the fall of a clueless empire. The protagonist oblivious, the cast complicit, the viewers cringing, and the credits rolling over our collapsing reality.

Close-up of a single magenta Paeonia lactiflora flower in full bloom, sharply focused against a softly blurred green and yellow background. The petals are layered and slightly ruffled, with visible texture and light variation. Captured outdoors in natural light.

Paeonia lactiflora, native to Asia, flowering end-May in Lancashire. Each bloom lasts about 7 to 10 days. Grown without pesticides, off-grid.

Woodside boss says young people ‘ideological’ on fossil fuels while ‘happily ordering from Temu’ Meg O’Neill tells energy industry conference that individual consumers’ role in driving emissions is ‘missing’ in conversations about fossil fuels

The CEO of Woodside-whose gas projects will burn the fucking planet-blames kids for collapse.
Not decades of extraction. Not 74Mt of CO₂. Not lobbying.
Nah. It’s Temu orders.
These people aren't just out of touch. They're dangerous.

A large, mature oak tree stands beside a winding woodland path. Its thick trunk is gnarled and weathered, with ivy and holly growing at its base. Dappled light filters through the canopy above, casting shadows across the forest floor. The scene is quiet, lush, and ancient.

This oak saw centuries rise and fall- now it watches the soil dry, the insects vanish, and the silence grow. Its resilience is not eternal.

Stained glass ornament shaped like a hammerhead shark, featuring blue and green glass segments, hanging from a tree branch with a backdrop of golden sunlight filtering through dense woodland.

Here's a stained glass piece I made for my youngest, Lucy- a hammerhead adrift in the treetops, catching the last light. #art #stainedglass #offgridstudio #craft #handmade #arttherapy

Senator Marsha Blackburn tweets: "We're going to build a big, beautiful Golden Dome."

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

Agreed. I used “world” recently to mean collapsing human systems- but you’re right, it flattens everything else. The more-than-human world deserves its own space in our language.

A minimalist dictionary-style image defining “solastalgia” as a noun: “a form of emotional or existential distress caused by environmental change, especially in one’s home environment.”

They’ll diagnose you with anxiety before admitting the planet’s dying.
Solastalgia.

Thank you so much! Some of those glass pieces are absolutely beautiful, aren't they!

Stained glass panel in an arched shape, depicting a stylized forest scene under a crescent moon. A winding path leads through green trees and across a blue stream, with star-like accents in the sky. Sunlight from behind makes the colors glow, especially the rich greens and golds.

I made this stained glass piece a while ago, but it hits different in the low evening sun. I’ll be getting back into the craft soon.

A small oak sapling grows in front of a massive, mature oak tree. The sapling stands in recently cleared grass and bramble, illuminated by late afternoon light. The old oak’s thick, twisting limbs spread wide above, forming a dense canopy.

A young oak tree, newly uncovered from dense brambles and long grass, growing at the base of a large, mature oak. The scene captures natural regeneration in a rewilding landscape.
