It’s almost time for #GardensHour! No theme this week but there will be a Q&A thread to look out for! See you at 9pm UK time!

In today's 'there's only one more week until meteorological spring... hurrah!' #SixOnSaturday we have a yellow Hellebore, Crocuses, Primroses, Cyclamen coum, ‘Tête-à-Tête’ Daffs & a Hyacinth onemanandhisgardentrowel.wordpress.com/2026/02/21/s... 🌱

Love free demos? Have a watch, this game has a lot for a free demo and it's something for this weekend: youtu.be/pTKnpMd-LYc [ad] Aether & Iron sponsored today to try their tactical car combat and RPG detective adventure, plus they just want you to test the demo!

The classic cottage garden favourite, the Garden Pink…full of old world charm! 💜 Happy #MagentaMonday 💫💜

These Red dead nettle flowers look sad, as if they’ve had a falling out. #WildflowerHour

It’s grey and horrible still, but the crocus are there to brighten me up #FlowersOnFriday 🌱 #Gardening #UKGardening #FlowerFeed #BloomScrolling

🌱Good Morning Gardeners🌱 Into the weekend with snowdrops popping up everywhere now. Enjoy them where & while you can - nothing (& no one) lasts forever. ☘️😊☘️

Old bank, high on hillside - a semi-permeable barrier to slow water flowing off the hills, reducing flood risk in the valley below, preventing soil from washing away in runoff. An abundance of plant life drinking up that slowed water, supporting birds & animals.

Forget flowers, get DOOMFLOWER for a wild, campy horror, enemies-to-lovers romcom! The meanest Malibu teen queen Camellia meets new student Wray, and if they can survive their mutual disgust, they may have to team up to save the world from invading plant monsters! @encyclopub.bsky.social #books

Tinkering around the edges of collective worship guidance does not change the fact that compulsory Christian collective worship can never really be pluralistic, objective, & critical. Every child, regardless of faith or belief, should be able to take part in assemblies that are genuinely inclusive.

Celebrate #IWD26 at the #RosalindFranklinLecture 5 March! In a fascinating talk on the science of 'fate', Dr Hannah Critchlow invites us to rethink the free will – and asks whether it may, at least in part, be an illusion created by the brain’s need for a coherent story. humanists.uk/events/frank...

The UK Govt said it's 'committed' to keeping collective worship in state-funded schools. It's offering new 'objective, pluralistic, and critical' guidance. But that's the problem, isn't it? Worshiping a deity is inherently not objective, pluralistic, or critical. humanists.uk/2026/02/05/c...

A lovely little exploration of humanist values by our Vice President @profaliceroberts.bsky.social.

Good night everyone Pluto

I have met many women who use the pool and hoped this would be the result - enjoy your swim

"The idea that trans inclusion at the ponds is somehow imposed against the wishes of users simply does not survive contact with reality. Londoners have looked at the evidence... and overwhelmingly said: this works, this is fair, and this reflects our values." celord.com/2026/01/29/h...

Well done, Javed 👏 Teachers shouldn't have to teach a curriculum written by Northern Ireland's four biggest churches, that the Supreme Court called 'indoctrination', and that literally starts with 'Learning Objective 1: The Revelation of God'. www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/norther...

The narrative of a ‘Christian revival’ among Gen Z makes for a catchy headline but the data tells a different story. High-quality research from @pewresearch.org & the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey confirms that the trend towards a non-religious UK remains steady.

This time last year, early copies of my novel FUTURE’S Edge were starting to appear on bookshop shelves. Thank you to everyone who has read, recommended, or reviewed it. And special thanks to those of you who’ve nominated it for an award or included it in a best of the year.

'It was done by arrogance, it was done by dogma, it was done by ignorance. When people believe that they have absolute knowledge, with no test in reality, this is how they behave.' – humanist and polymath, Jacob Bronowski. Important words this #HolocaustMemorialDay #HMD #HMD26

Last call for CAMBRIDGE tonight - only a few tickets left - hope I can sell out - I promise a show full of joy, inclusivity, and love www.junction.co.uk/events/robin... #comedy #poetry #cambridge

What a wonderful way to add our own little corner of colour for #BlueMonday during #GardensHour this week! Certainly brightened my day! 💙 Next week is the last week of January, can you believe it! We’ll have a look back, plus Q&A returns for 2026. See you then 👋

I last posted a Sweet Violet on #WildflowerHour twenty seven days ago and this go to south facing patch on an urban local nature reserve, has been flowering long before and since then through snow, frost, rain and shine.

Finally seeing more love for ATACAMA, my thriller with horror and sci-fi elements. Fun fact: I illustrated the 36 interior chapter headers myself (cover is by Chris Panatier)!

Hi @jendiagammon.bsky.social, did you go to the L.A. County Fair? Just watching some food abominations today. I am going nowhere near that donut triple burger. 😂 youtu.be/Kl4dMwkhK6Q?...

Oh no! Not accountability for Trump, not that!
