Nothing I can say... I loved her so much xxx RIP Legend 💔

The lack of urban trees across the UK is a public health emergency. We need vastly more green shade (and we need to nurture it through ever more brutal summers).

Why does this post generate almost ZERO traction? Social Media and the "Miranda Effect." news.cornell.edu/media-relati...

Fascinating

Surreal being in the UK -with its quintessential nature & abundant water- to observe how this breeds complacency on a sm island of c70m people in a world of 8.3bn people, declining agricultural predictability, snowpack & soil fertility 🧵 @fionaharvey.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

NEW: Before cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne gave £5m to @nigel_farage, he gave £1m to Boris Johnson. For what?? Today @thenerve.news news reveals new evidence that tracks Harborne's investments in defence firm QinetiQ...to key defence announcements from Boris Johnson. 1/

On my way, Clacton.

Morning all, dipping into this, which I picked up while I was in Hastings recently. It's got some corkers in it incl work by Arthur Machen and Mary Webb - an excellent anthology from @blpublishing.bsky.social Weird Woods: Tales From From The Haunted Forests of Britain ed by John Miller #booksky

Sarah Mansfield MP has made a little book about The Very Hungry Data Centre

Absolutely horrific. The government thinks that acting and art are now things that working class people can’t do

Good to know there's at least one decent socialist politician on this crazy planet

MOT done - now sorting out the mountain of 'useful things' that had accumulated in my car!

Nigel Farage has spent his whole life dodging responsibility for his actions. This new stunt is his latest attempt to escape consequences for his biggest grift. We won’t let him.

Big risk now for cereal fields. Tinder dry pre-harvest after weeks of dry and hot weather, with another couple of weeks of 30C+ looking likely.

Good morning friends, today is MOT day. Yesterday was walking in fields of barley day. How about you?

That time Sinead O’Connor went in disguise to join a Sinead O’Connor protest

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

Ah well...3 ISH hrs in a hot car down the M4 and am now back in Gter London...

Wish I could get to this! #poetrysky

Morning all, in Somerset at my best friend's house, catching up on paperwork and feeling blessed. I've been very quiet on social media recently as no headspace and also was in Dublin for a week. But am planning on getting a lot of writing done over the Summer - so will be lurking! How about you?

It's the Friday Choon #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g8Q...

Getting ready to read at this tonight. A great line up of Swiss poets! I am not one of them... #poetrysky

Can the Green Party’s Nature’s Rights Bill change Britain’s relationship with nature away from the predominant legal model of ‘natural capital’ and ‘ecosystem services’? Is nature really a ‘legal person’ anyway, or is it something far stranger? @jayowens.bsky.social www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ju...

It is extremely likely that: 2027: ~ 1.7C+ 2031: ~ 2.0C+ 2035-39: ~2.5C It’s time we stop making 15 year moving averages while we are in the fastest change our planet’s climate has experienced in millions of years.

Great to see this! More please.

Tells you everything you need to know. Shame.

I'm doing this err later today! www.europeanpoetryfestival.com/swiss26 #poetrysky

One week to go - yes, that Cure song. Looking forward to hearing it live again. It's the Friday Choon #againandagainandagainandagainandagain #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=xik-...

You're not supposed to say this, but conservatives hate HPV vaccines because they think that removing the risk of cervical cancer from sex incentives women to be sluts. It's been a Christian thing since way before RFK Jr. was around, everybody knows what it's about, but you have to pretend not to.

Don't know about you but the heat is really affecting my asthma in a way it hasn't ever before. Worrying.

For this week's #PoemsAbout theme #OutAfterMidnight from @thebrokenspine.co.uk More Keats than clubbing...

I spend all my time, unpaid, removing rubbish and invasive species from wherever it needs removing. Including rivers. Including that river. We do this because the government is focused on culture wars and nonsense instead of environmental action. Fill your boots weirdos, just let us do our job.

Charity exists to solve the failures of government. The Environment Agency has been defunded and defanged, and now they’re using what little power and resource they have left to go after *checks notes* volunteers removing rubbish from rivers for them. 🙃 www.mylondon.news/news/east-lo...
