Morning :)

Morning :) another glorious start to the day :)

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.

Not one but TWO new videos last week! Have you caught Challenge the Sea? Huge thanks to @homefreeguys.bsky.social for having us on as guests! Go give it a listen, if you please: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppLH... #TheLongestJohns #HomeFree #ChallengeTheSea #Shanty #SeaSong #NewMusic

Our National Parks are at risk. ⚠️ From the rugged Lakes to the sweeping South Downs, these landscapes define us and our future. They sustain wildlife, communities and our wellbeing - and they must be protected. A future that puts them at risk isn't what anyone voted for.

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

Had the most incredible evening yesterday watching the livestream of the last show in this joint @homefreeguys.bsky.social and @thelongestjohns.bsky.social tour. I believe you can still buy tickets if you can watch in the next 24 hours or so.

One of the best Sunday evenings I've had in a while. Brilliant music and great fun. Highly recommended.

This is grim & dangerous over reach. This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent. Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

Missed the premieres? Don't miss the @homefreeguys.bsky.social / @thelongestjohns.bsky.social livestreamed 'Into The Deep' concert on Sunday. Details: Home Free Tickets - HomeFreeMusic.com - Into the Deep Livestream - Sun, Oct 5 2025 | Seated share.google/vCeY2CT3UMlB...

Another awesome sailor song and vid by @homefreeguys.bsky.social, this time an original from @theadamchance.bsky.social and @houndfoxmusic.bsky.social . And this one features the @thelongestjohns.bsky.social Don't dare challenge the sea! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppLH...

Houston, we do not have a problem. Our episode on Apollo 13 with our good friend and super NASA nerd, Pat Nelson, is currently out wherever you listen to podcasts. It was fun watching Pat get to nerd out on a subject he loves so much. Check it out! #Apollo13 #NewEpisode #Photoshop

While saying they want to "preserve nature" the Conservative Party have just pledged to scrap the Climate Change Act. This makes no sense. How do more floods, more droughts, and rising temperatures "preserve" nature? That's what scrapping the Act will lead to.

I’m sad to hear the news that the wonderful Jane Goodall is no longer in the world. Her work with chimpanzees at Gombe in Tanzania taught us to look at other apes - and ourselves - differently. I was privileged to meet her later in life and tell her what an inspiration she was to me.

Dr. Jane Goodall was a remarkable individual – as a scientist, as an advocate for wildlife and wild places, and as a source of profound hope for the future of our planet. She brought such a joyful spirit and unfailing optimism to her work. #inspiration #hope #wildlife #conservation

Gumboot chiton are giant sea mollusks, also known as the wandering meatloaf.

Went to see @thelongestjohns.bsky.social with @homefreeguys.bsky.social yesterday, and who doesn't love the wellerman!? JD noticed I was recording and borrowed my phone for a bit. Hands down, the coolest video I have ever gotten from a show before. #thelongestjohns #homefree #shanty #folkmusic

Two of my favourite bands (@homefreeguys.bsky.social and @thelongestjohns.bsky.social ) and one of my all time favourite songs. Thanks to the fans sharing videos so those of us who can't get to the concerts can still enjoy the show. youtu.be/2Lh4nm_yXUU?...

Poisoning the future to fund a demented fool's delusions.

Morning from the Isle of May

The tree you climbed as a child. Gone. The Swifts over your town. Gone. The air you breathe. Polluted. The river. Unsafe. This is the reality of deregulation. Cutting protections would mean disaster for nature & our economy. Our CEO sets out why: rspb.org.uk/whats-happen... 👈

I don’t know about you, but I’m still sort of processing that the US president stood up in the UN and declared that London is about to be under Sharia law, and the response has been “actually, that won’t happen” rather than “Jesus, that is insane.”

If it wasn't for the wide Atlantic I'd be there. I've seen some fan videos and if you have the chance to get to one of these shows, take it!!!

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

The government are wrong to think places and nature don’t matter to the public. ❌ All evidence shows the opposite. Weakening protections for our National Parks would be a devastating step backwards for nature, and for the landscapes millions love.

Climate change is not a con-job. If you want to know more about the evidence for and causes of #ClimateChange, head to our website: royalsociety.org/news-resourc...

No. Tylenol does not cause autism, and tonight’s rant from the White House was all politics, not science. Watch @katiephang.bsky.social break it down. Watch. Share. Spread truth further than their lies. #WePersist

Vote for future generations, vote for the places you love, vote to make a difference. Have your say in our Annual General Meeting before midnight on 31 October: buff.ly/xI01XbS

Ever heard of nurdles? These tiny plastic pellets are causing big problems Nurdles are the raw material used to make plastic products. Millions are lost during transport, ending up on our beaches and in the sea They’re hard to spot, harder to clean up and a growing threat to our ocean

I, for one, would welcome the arrival of our new chicken overlords. They've got to be an improvement. Hey @themerl.bsky.social 👀

ALBUM RELEASE DAY!!! Very excited to see the reactions for our new album, Challenge The Sea. We went in on the shanties and really proud of how it turned out. Go get it! #ChallengeTheSea #NewAlbum #analbumcover

Tonight’s setting sun over the Isle of May…

The album is lovely and this performance of a great song is magnificent. Highly recommended!

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

🔥 A song about Trump’s visit to the UK. Very few songs are genius. This one is. Those lyrics are killer. Awesome work @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social

The Sting, Sneakers, All the Presidents Men. Environmentalist, supporter of independent film makers, and drop dead gorgeous. RIP.
