Tony Blair finally fuckin did it.

Pretty upset I missed out on API Days London but I’ve spent the week killing Japanese Knotweed in east London along the River Roding. I’m covered in chemicals and sweat. Rushing off to do some paid work in the evenings. Y’all had more fun without me. Donations to protect.earth/donate appreciated!

“Trump is running away from the negotiating table before he even gets there,” King of the Deal. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Moral panic of trans people in sports only helps shoehorn through more transphobic laws with wider mainstream support. The only outcome is more danger for women & girls. Some countries are checking genitalia of teens, and short hair makes girls targets of gender police. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Next move for Trump. Navy? 🤣

@dalevince.com can you comment denouncing this move? I know you campaigned for Labour saying they would be the only party who could fight the climate crisis, but they’re proving every day to be not just absolutely useless but actively harmful. www.independent.co.uk/voices/gatwi...

🗣 "This isn’t about enabling families to fly once a year on holiday. This is about a tiny few, the elite, being able to fly more and more, regardless of the cost to people or planet." @zackpolanski.bsky.social writes for the Independent on Labour's decision to expand Gatwick Airport.

Standing around in the cold waiting for volunteers so we can do something about the climate/biodiversity crises, and as always I’m reading how about the government is actively trying to make everything worse. Are they corrupt, or do they truly believe in sustainable aviation despite all evidence.

Reform wasting money on culture wars once again.

Part of moving home was figuring out which bike shop worked for me. Some are fancy & slow. Some are quick & bodge. Some can’t do what I need. Trek Bath has consistently been amazing. Sometimes slow when busy but always quality & always communicated. I told them to slow down one time they were panick

My daughter’s bike was stolen 2 nights ago. Not as fancy as yours, but huge sentimental value. I’ve never seen her so upset. Then she called me in tears again last night because she’d found it - someone was walking around town with it, and willingly handed it over. Very happy for your reunion!

10/10, no notes

@bathecho.bsky.social with everything going on in the world I think some people would enjoy this story, and I want Trek Bath to get as much credit as is humanly possible for being utterly amazing people.

BIKE FOUND!!

Anyone out in Bath today. If you spot this bike and tell me where it is I will pay you fuckin handsomely. Pop a lock on it I’ll literally give you £500.

I have just learned that these brush cutter heads exist and i have several dotted around the country. Farewell unsolicited advice. Farewell shinbones. Farewell everything I’m not interested in hearing about. This will evaporate the lot. 🫡

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Today's the day! Polls are open in Queen’s Park and the choice is clear: vote Green and elect Marina Lademacher!

The right never wanted free speech they just want to say and do as much racist/fascist/bigotry as they can without having to hear anyone complain or push back. The left is meant to just shut up and take it. Anything other than writing in their private journal is “escalating political violence.”

In case you missed it, four people have been arrested for projecting images of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle.

Now that our funding partners have vanished and planting season is any minute we’ve switched gears to enabled direct monthly sponsorship of trees. First milestone is getting to 166 so we can plant a 2,000 tree woodland and pay it off within a year. Help us. shop.protect.earth/products/mon...

After “doing absolutely nothing” turned out to be a losing strategy for liberals, they’re now going to try and stamp out any remaining traces of the left so they can complete their long and obvious transition to outright fascism.

Man who constantly posts hateful racist sexist nonsense and gets feedback about it compares himself to a fascist that was shot by another fascist, then with a torch under his chin warns that the left is too violent, despite their last notable action being to throw a milkshake at a different fascist.

“Cal,ai doesn’t need a break (and it doesn’t complain about Monday mornings). Cal,ai never misses a call, since it's 24/7 available. It's like having a personal assistant who's always on point (Cal,ai doesn't need vacation time).“ Cal,ai mocks labour and employee rights so Cal,ai loses a customer.

Splendid. As all broadcasters should be doing Same with Musk as Trump likes to use the State to leverage untrammelled power to the tech bros - esp Musk

Excited to see this happen more and more. There are a lot of people on the Left absolutely let down by what the new Labour Right have done to the party. You’re welcome with the Greens. 🫡

“The Struggle Bus solved a lot of my problems (I had a few horrendous injuries) and problems for @protect.earth (we were renting a lot of polluting diesel vans). It mainly helped me continue living 100% fossil fuel free for years.” philsturgeon.com/living-in-a-...

The Right want to kill everyone they don’t like.

A handy thread explaining fascist on fascist violence, because it’s clearly not the left doing this.

When you thought he was trans, it was proof all trans people were scum. Now that he’s cis, he gets to be the victim of the murder he committed.

Have you ever thought about living in a van because the economy has been wrecked by boomers who own all the housing? Ever thought about that van being electric? I lived in a tiny electric van for 3 years. Here is everything good, bad, and on my todo list. #VanLife philsturgeon.com/living-in-a-...

I HAVE CHOSEN VIOLENCE TODAY!

I live here now. Not had a home for a decade but the Avon valley between Bristol and Bath is where I think of when I think about home. Gonna fix it up. Gonna make it good. Gonna just be around smiling and loving it.

What if you focused your entire life on good. Finances? Doesn’t matter. Happiness? Doesn’t matter. Growing and stabilising @protect.earth has always come first. For five years it’s been my main priority and I made £0 from it. You can help for half a pint a month. shop.protect.earth

I’ve had my boat in Bath for three days and two people have recognised me and said hello. This sounds innocuous but I’ve almost cried twice. I’ve not lived anywhere for 8 years. Not had anyone recognise me on the street and say hello since 2018 in NYC. It’s not happened in Bath since 2008.

I bought the domain to match its predecessor so you can now access HTTP Golden Girls at www.goldengirls.codes

With last season tree sponsorships almost done we’re looking forward to a more expensive season. You have only a couple of days to sponsor British trees at £3/tree (10% monthly discount) before we put the price up to £5. Get ‘em whilst they are literally hot. shop.protect.earth/products/mon...

It’s bloody amazing to see how much more air time Greens are getting with Zack at the helm. He absolutely destroyed Anne Widocombe (who is apparently still alive and for some reason still on telly) and everything he’s done so far is entirely nailing it. 🥳

Next, let's do a study to find out if universal basic income is effective!

China built more #solar in 6 months than the U.S. has in its entire history.

Just pulled a tick out of my wrist whilst sat at my desk on the boat. Where’s he come from? I’ve showered since the last tick-able event last night and put on clean clothes. Looked like he only just got into the skin, so unless he’s rappelled down from the roof what the fuck is happening.

There’s a massive cherry laurel not too far from here that’s upset me for years. Today I took down 5% of it, and every time I pass I’ll take down a little more. Free firewood. Wild service. If you’ve got an issue with that please give your head a wobble.

Second-deepest lock on the country done with the help of @misterduncan.bsky.social. Thankfully I was wearing my brown trousers! 🫣 I’m now at large on the River Avon, fishing rubbish and clearing invasives. Spotted knotweed, himalayan balsam, cherry laurel, and gunnera all over the shop.

Zack is out there talking to Reform/Farage voters. Amazing work. Keep going!

Anyone in Bath, come help me move my boat to here tomorrow. I’m fully shooting my pants about going from canal to river. maps.app.goo.gl/kznrerriaW1S...

Who would like to hear my thoughts about “No Farmers, No Food” Every time we post on Facebook looking for volunteers to help a farmer plant beneficial woodland/ shelterbelts on their land we get a bunch of deranged people / bots losing their minds about the yield improving work we’re doing.

After Scotland bikepacking trip I immediately spent a day balls deep in a bog getting evidence for trees we planted in @hardknottforest.bsky.social (first, going good) then did boat stuff (it floated off) so now wandering around Cotswolds with several ciders to relax (photos 2-4). Home is good.
