If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Neil Kinnock on Brexit, in The Observer...

Our car-dependent status quo is the result of political choices that have steered decades of financial-, spatial- and design decisions. It is time to repoliticize these decisions and reshape our public spaces.

Fantastic news, throwing phones away when the battery dies is quite ridiculous. We don't need super thin phones, we need phones we can repair.

A bill in Missouri would halt commercial solar projects in the state, including those under construction, through at least 2027. The bill’s emergency clause says this is “deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare, peace, and safety.” Big oil strikes again.

Just saw an excellent t-shirt on a guy at the supermarket: It’s weird being the same age as old people 😂

The only person rigging elections is him.

Oligarchs have always been a threat, but tech oligarchs represent a new level of danger. Their wealth dwarfs historical tycoons and their control over algorithms allows them to curate human reality. They own the digital infrastructure of thought

Greta is a comedy genius.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

When I moved home almost 4 yrs ago (🤯) I made my dad stop using weed killer in the yard. Now the yard is full of clover, dandelions, wild violets and feverfew. The pollinators love it 🥰 Happy Earth Day

Shoebills are unfortunately not doing too well in the wild. It has been estimated that there are only between 3,300 - 5,300 adult shoebills left in the world according to IUCN. This is due to wars, habitat loss, poaching and capture for the illegal pet trade. TT: birdkeeperkirsty_

Came on here to post something funny but then got distracted by the posts in my feed and forgot what I was going to post 🤦‍♀️

That's possibly one of the nicest things I've seen a gull eat Cc @alice-risely.bsky.social

Very incisive from Alex Wickham, UK political editor for Bloomberg “Sources say Olly Robbins felt bound by the rules of the security vetting process NOT to tell the PM, No10 or the foreign secretary about the concerns raised about Mandelson”

Being into cats feels so debasing. You give everything over to this animal — time, labor, money — but when you want them to sit next to you, they refuse and jump away. When they finally sit on your lap, you sit motionless to the point of physical pain, afraid to disturb them. Humiliating.

I wonder how much their sales will increase this weekend, cos I know that I for one now want to pick some up with our weekend shopping.

We are current;ly 77.5% powered by renewables, a pitiful 5% powered by burning imported methane gas, and yet the effing price is set by the effing cost of effing gas, I am effing fuming! Thanks grid.iamkate.com

Spring is on the way!! Look at these Fabulous white dafs...

Same goes for my cat. Last night: husband ejected to spare bed after cat and I had had enough and been disturbed too much. When I finally got back to sleep it was with the cat resting up near my chest, his paws over one of my arms, and my other arm across him.

UK Wind Power has rallied to 18.9GW this morning. With 1.2GW of Solar we are burning 3.5GW of Gas as well as exporting 1GW. Hydro is 0.3GW. Nuclear is 5.1GW and the awful Biomass 0.8GW The price of wholesale electricity over the past 24 hours was £64 per MWh. #renewables

ME TO CAT: You get fed every day at 6 CAT: Cool, cool cool, I'll start howling at you about it at 3:45 so you don't forget. ME: I've literally never forgotten. CAT: So the reminders are working...

Calling wind and solar ‘alternative’ energy is obsolete. Their economics are undeniable, and their momentum is so strong that even the most powerful leader on the planet can’t stop or even slow down their build‑out. www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft...

Cats are great if you wanna see the contents of an animal's stomach without special equipment

I’ve just seen, from the train, a robot lawnmower on a golf course. That’s an awful lots of grass for a very small machine to try and mow!

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

The truest thing I’ve read today….🤣

Look, this is probably just some usual Threads Bullshit, but it is very much in line with the maxim that, to the priviledged, equality looks like oppression. A space is being (supposedly) carved out in SFF for female readers, and to a certain kind of man that needs immediate redressing.

“How lucky is the United States that everytime they look for democracy in other countries they find oil instead”- Spain Deputy Gabriel Rufián

Since 2001 the US has bombed Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan and now Iran. Every single one a Muslim-majority nation. 940,000 dead. $5.8 trillion spent. We call it counterterrorism. The rest of the world has another word for it. They are not wrong.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

One of my favorite Shots from my Trip to Edinburgh 🖤 #photography #moody #edinburgh #scotland

Bees are small, fragile, and easily overlooked. And yet, in their heavy pollen-laden wings, they hold something of the planet's balance. With every flight, with every touch of the petals, the bee gathers not only nectar—it gathers life, color, hope.

This is the most wholesome thing and such an antidote to the shit that America’s leaders are doing. Why can’t all of America be like this all of the time?

Quite often I think about the myriad opportunities available to us all on a daily basis to be absolutely shitty human beings for no good reason, and how the vast majority of us manage not to do that. Go, and I mean this perfectly sincerely, us.

As I walked through a carpark this morning I heard a lady say “they didn’t make the spaces big enough” to her companion. No hen, the cars are too big. The tarmac and painted lines have been there years. Cars these days are unnecessarily bloated. Since the 80s, cars are on average 40% bigger.

Yo if you leave a theater like this you should be banned for life lmao

There's a funny noise coming over the hill. llewellyn.substack.com/p/the-distan...

North Sea drilling would have little if any impact on gas prices in the UK given that international events largely dictate the price. UK renewables enable us to unplug from this volatile international energy system, with wind lowering the wholesale power price by around a third last year.

I know that some people hate the clocks changing but for the first time in months I’m leaving the office in daylight, and I won’t be arriving home in full dark. On the days I work from home and finish later, as I often do, there’ll still be some daylight that I can breathe a sigh of relief for.

Ever wonder why ants build colonies that last generations without trashing their habitat? Or how bees pollinate without poisoning the flowers? No intelligent species will destroy their environment in the disguise for development and profit—nature proves it.

Dems need to be on every news channel saying this. Everyday. All day.

No idea if it’s true but it seems extremely likely.

“The capitalist system makes people stupid. And it’s makes them arrogant in their stupidity. Not only do they not know, they don’t want to know. I’ve seen it everywhere. As a matter of fact, they take positions on total ignorance.” - Kwame Ture
