Nothing feels more special to me than when wildlife decides to use part of me as a perch 😊

Given lit trends, I'm rebranding my book as smut. It's about the romance of salmon, who navigate oceans & rivers to fuck & perish. It's about the sensuous slithering of lamprey; the orgiastic joy of herring; the bondage of male anglerfish. Cover art depicts a bull shark in a bodice. Ichthyoerotica.

Corporate so-called democrats .. but they're not .. showing their true nastiness .. buying people to piss on progressive true Democratic candidates wherever they dare to stand .. one of whom is @katmabu.bsky.social 💙
Keep standing up against these traitors!

Thanks again Rob!

Thanks Rob!

In an Irish Atlantic rainforest, a 'wolf' oak: the term for a tree much older than those all around.

A grandmother tree, progenitor and nurturer of the ecosystem, she very possibly grew when – even because – wolves still hunted these parts.

A nice twist on the word.

This is so great ..

Starting to think the British press aren't coping too well with the Green Party wanting to tax wealth fairly.

True but we can chew & walk at the same time .. that is converting from our fossil fuel dependence to electricity but at the same time promoting lifestyles less dependent on even electricity so heavily dependent on metals & rare earths for various applications that most people seem deaf & blind to.

OR .. turning something that uses electricity into something that doesn't use electricity .. like travelling using legs & bike wheels instead of electric vehicles OR making a cake without electric mixers but hand/arm power OR reading books instead of reading this on an electricity-powered laptop?

RFK Jr is a deeply insecure man who is dangerous because deeply insecure people should never be allowed to hold even the tiniest bit of power over others .. he may also be insane.

All they've got left are symbols .. and some of those are fake or highly suspect.

Here we go again

Matt Vickers MP made a Conservative party video about the removal of Churchill from the fiver... and Vickers says:

"As Churchill himself once said 'a nation that forgets its past has no future.'

It's a FAKE QUOTE Churchill never said that.

Vickers is a shadow minister

The GOP's White Supremacist Policies Are Now Hurting Trump's White Voters Trump's white base loved his cruelty and celebrated his corrupt policies, especially when they hurt people of color. Now, the white supremacist chicken has come home to roost.

This is so brilliant .. 👏👏 to Waj & Jared .. informative, funny and searingly honest .. thank you both!

PFAS pollution in a drinking water source near the old Denham Film Studio, so high the source had to be taken out of use.

That's a water source that was providing 20 million litres a day to London, a city where water is already becoming scarce.

From my report on BBC Inside Science, today👇🏾

How 'forever chemicals' have seeped into almost everything – video Josh Toussaint-Strauss talks to Leana Hosea and Rachel Salvidge of Watershed investigations about what the spread of Pfas means for our health and the environment, and what can be done to get rid of t...

Water companies currently address PFAS contamination in drinking water sources by diluting the contaminated supply with uncontaminated water.

Privately, many water company insiders tell us it's getting harder to find uncontaminated water to use for this:

London & the Southeast are increasingly water-stressed & cannot afford to have a single water source in an unusable condition.

The map below is from our Water Security Atlas & shows levels of water stress by region. Darker = less water available.

ICE violence is fueled by misogyny and white nationalism How the Trump administration has mobilized state-sponsored terror in Minneapolis and beyond.

Make no mistake: The thousands of new recruits to ICE, driven by a $100 million “wartime recruitment” push, were selected with violence in mind.

However, NOT Brighton & Hove @brighton-hove.gov.uk!

London, San Francisco and Beijing achieve ‘remarkable reductions’ in air pollution Cycle lanes, electric cars and other interventions have helped 19 global cities slash levels of pollutants by more than 20%

China and Hong Kong are home to 9 of the 19 cities, with 9 European cities making up the rest. The analysis found interventions such as cycle lanes, uptake of electric cars, and restrictions on polluting vehicles had helped to drive the improvements: www.theguardian.com/environment/... (gift). 🌎
