Sometimes I have to pinch myself because at work last week I got to sit next to (and it seems stare at) Prof Ian Stewart on a panel discussing climate change and sustainability.

This is really worth a listen, The Lasting Harm is a difficult and oh so important read. Plus @robinince.bsky.social never gets a book recommendation wrong
Our interview with @lucia-oc.bsky.social - an incredibly courageous activist voice relentlessly campaigning to bring the culture of power and abuse into the light and expose the perpetrators is on our YouTube channel m.youtube.com/watch?v=6E8E... #epstein #trump #maxwell

So proud of how the little man is getting on at school, an excellent school report where we were told he is polite and is making friends. He has used his charm on the dinner ladies so he can have fresh fruit for pudding rather than the tinned 🤣

Just read this and loved it. Originally written in Korean and translated. Different to western horror and so interesting because of the different feel which led to unsettled uneasiness reading it. Reminded me of some of the stories in The Dead of Summer by @johnnymains.co.uk plus sheep are scary

Wes Streeting says "little or no support" for striking docs. Let's prove this cunt wrong. Repost if you wanna show solidarity with essential workers fighting for their rights after years of underfunding and real terms pay cuts. Who's with me?

Can we organise this for South West Water after a "third party company" dumped the lime meant for the treatment process directly into the St Austell river (White river) killing all the fish, eels and lamprays?
This is impressive - solidarity with those women who performed the citizens arrest

I've just learnt about the Vampire Snail. A marine snail that feeds on fish by biting them, inserting a proboscis (3X longer than its body) releasing molecules that stop the blood from clotting + goes on its merry way. 3rd installment of "Slugs" with these @robinince.bsky.social @johnnymains.co.uk
