Once again, profit before people 😔

Happy Birthday Stevie! A veritable smorgasboard of hits. Superstition is the only song I will consider butchering at Karaoke 🎶

Great to see the first phase of restoration work has begun on Madeira Terrace #brighton. It's the longest continuous ironwork structure in the world but it's also a beautiful and much-loved part of the seafront

Not DHS too 😔 Of all the hideous news coming from the Trump administration, this one hits hard. DHS data is particularly essential in nutrition programming and policy. The impact of pulling this vital resource is unfathomable. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/h...

Focusing on the small nuggets of good news. Hooray for the Beavers 👏 It would be incredible to see more of these in the wild.

Exactly! Rates of malnutrition are often highest in the areas of high production or 'bread basket' districts. Stop pushing to grow more food and address the root causes of food inequity.

LCD Soundsystem are one of my all time faves 🎶 I agree with the top two rankings, but would have had dance yourself clean at third place. Which is your favourite? www.theguardian.com/music/2025/f...

🫘 BEANS 🫘 Delicious, nutritious, climate resilient and nitrogen fixing. Don't you love it when something not only tastes great, but is also good for you and the planet? 🌍 What's your favourite bean #recipe??

🥬 #vegetable growers... Why has no one told me about this before?? I'm no stranger to #growyourown in the garden 🍅 but this beautiful pak choi is growing from the base that I'd usually discard 🌱 What else can I try?

Can't wait to read this new book by the brilliant @keetieroelen.bsky.social The world definitely needs more empathy right now 💚

That sky! 🧡
