"God does not bless any conflict." Absolutely here for Pope Leo schooling the fascists masquerading as Christians

The most powerful man in the world doesn’t have the mental capacity to do the job. Or to put it another way, he’s nuts. It’s time we all recognised that app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72990/...

To reduce disease, we all need to make some urgent but simple changes to how we feed our garden birds. See our website for the latest guidance: brnw.ch/21x1t4w

If you use bird feeders, please do read and follow this advice. #Birds

Iran is making fun of TACO Trump's last minute ceasefire. I think this is is their best Lego viral video so far.

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

Women everywhere please never ever vote for Reform. Any party that thinks Andrew Tate is someone to support, follow and approve of is not worth your time, energy or more important your vote!

Scam alert: if you get the invite below to the Bournemouth Writing Festival, it's a scam (confirmed for me by the festival director). See the highlighed phrase. I've gotten similar reports of fake invites to the Edinburgh Book Festival, and I'm sure there are others.

Share and share again. The USA should never be allowed to forget this shameful period in its history.

The hunting ban came into force 21 years ago, but foxes are still being chased and killed. Loopholes continue to be exploited, and wildlife is paying the price. Now is the time to speak up. Respond to the public consultation on hunting laws: https://leagueacs.co.uk/W8Bsg

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Dolly Parton’s generosity of spirit is something to hold on to ✨

It’s been one year since the Myanmar earthquake, the official death toll was >5,000, people are rebuilding as best as they can, and the tremors continue. All this amidst military dictatorship and civil war. Please see linktr.ee/meemalee for ways you can help the people of Myanmar and thank you 🙏

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

I do like a well herbed chicken. Lemon, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt & pepper.

Update on the destruction of the ancient oak in Enfield: contractor finally identified after a year. Mitchells & Butler have failed to apologise, offer compensation, or even be transparent. They run Toby Carvery, Harvester, Browns, All Bar One & Ember Inns. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Meanwhile - let's not forget Ukraine.🇺🇦 👇🏽

I would like you to join me in taking a breather. ✨A break from doom scrolling, if you will✨ This video is too long so I just included the best part…when Robert Plant cries,I cry 🥹 Heart’s tribute to Led Zeppelin ft. John Bonham’s son on drums.

This is unbelievable Trump is seeking to pay for his new $1.5 trillion military budget by cutting the following:

Next week’s disability benefit cuts will make people destitute. Families face eviction, lack of food and heating, lose access to the vital care. Govt could cut corporate welfare, collect taxes dodged, tax the rich, but vulnerable are easy target. In a wealthy country misery is a political choice.

“English apple blossoms always lift my spirit. My grandfather dreamed of having an orchard when he was a prisoner during WW II; it helped him to have hope and survive. Apple trees & orchards are not just for fruit, they are for our mental health and our joy all year long,”-our Patron, Mark Rylance

@mrjamesob.bsky.social - This thread might be of interest to your audience.

It is crazy how few people know this: Russia now occupies less Ukrainian land than it did one month into the full-scale invasion four years ago

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18
