Play isn’t just for playgrounds.

I'd encourage everyone to download Borrowbox - it's an app that allows you to register with your local library and borrow their audiobooks and ebooks. Currently listening to Many Different Kinds of Love by @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social.

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

Anti-autism campaigner, Karen Hoyland, 40, commented: “I love my child but I hate his autism. The other day I came home to find him lining up his guns, instead of playing with them like a normal kid.”

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore. So I wrote a blog about ten things you can do *right now* to help defeat Farage, Musk, and rightwing populism. From scrutinising Reform councillors to demanding the UK Govt leave X - get involved: guyshrubsole.substack.com/p/ten-things...

It's International Day of Play. Play is critical for child development. But, why do we signal play is no longer important once you turn 15yo? My recent research (in Cities & Health) found that 16-25yo access #urbangreenspace less than other age cohorts b/c they feel they've aged out of playing.

We know how to save lives and make our city safer for everyone, especially children, older and disabled people, to walk, cycle and catch the bus. Rolling out 20mph speed limits everywhere people are using pavements and need to cross the road makes sense.

"Win or lose in the Supreme Court, we now want the government to step up and pass a right to roam act, to protect and extend public rights of access to nature across England.” @lewis-winks.bsky.social ahead of this morning’s verdict on wild camping on Dartmoor: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨The dust is still setting after yesterday’s election results. These weren't the results we fought for, but we are so proud of the thousands of supporters across the country who delivered leaflets, spoke to their neighbours and spread a message of HOPE over hate.🧵👇

For anyone who needs them this week 💜 Here are some resources for our trans friends and allies 👇 goodlawproject.org/resource/sup...

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

I’ve a recently moved over here from the other place, so a little bit more about this account. I’m aiming to raise awareness of/celebrate the fisheries of the Severn estuary. They were once part of the fabric of riverside communities but are probably going to disappear completely 1/5

Success! The Police realised that the tree protectors were not backing down & it wouldn’t be a good look to arrest children & pensioners for sitting peacefully under a tree, so they have called off the felling today, & indeed the rest of the week!

Yet again, #DowningSt shows itself to be trapped in a misinformation and disinformation bubble when it comes to nature laws. Meanwhile, the PM seems to have very little to say about housebuilders that are sitting on 100ks of granted planning permissions, but not actually building houses!

Imagine if communities could own rivers, woods & peat bogs Labour’s Community Right to Buy *could* let people do this with a simple change to the law But rumours are circulating that this change is at risk of being dropped Me for @powertochange.org.uk: www.powertochange.org.uk/evidence-and...

It's not possible to tag everyone on BlueSky as things stand but here's a screenshot of the Threads post telling you who and what is on the #TrustTheDocRadio show this coming Saturday (1 Feb) at 5PM UK Time. Hope you will join us. #NewMusicNewThinking

Big flaw with Labour's 1.5m new homes – house-builders can't be trusted to add biodiversity, as this important @wildjustice.bsky.social study reveals: www.theguardian.com/environment/... Simple solution: funding for proper inspection/enforcement/penalties.

If you want to follow the thread for this evening's #TrustTheDocRadio show here instead of on X, this can be the place to join. Eventually we will need to work out how to invite everyone onto it but, for now, please enrol yourself! I will post the track info on both platforms as we go along.

All Aboard with Jeremy and Nigel on the Inheritance Tax-Avoiding Tractor Wagon! My bit for Bylinetimes.bsky.social (I have no control over any paywall) www.bylinesupplement.com/p/russell-jo...

A few times a week we'll get an email from someone asking for advice after they've been abused on a walk: today's while exploring some old Roman fields. They like to go there for their mental health. The law of trespass hasn't got much legal force. It mostly just serves to bolster unpleasantness.

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿

Almost all mental health problems and mental illnesses are more common in autistic people than in the general population. This new publication by R . C . Psychiatry is an excellent resource for information and practical matters surrounding autism and mental health www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-healt...

Hey Bluesky! We've made the jump from the Other Place. We're Right to Roam: a campaign to reform access rights in England & Wales so that everyone can experience the countryside, wherever they live. We teach responsible trespass & believe in a culture of connection & care for the natural world.
