Screenshot of a tweet reply to @herbivore_club. The tweet reads: “Wow, pigs are really adorable. I used to be brainwashed by the worldwide gang that pigs are stupid and dirty. Thanks for opening my eyes.”

What if human evolution had taken the path of female alliances and conflict resolution through intimacy instead of male coalitions, warfare, and property rights? What if our civilisation had been built not on conquest but on cooperation? What if..?

The UK banned elephant ivory but left hippos to die in their place. Poachers didn’t stop — they just switched victims. Hippo teeth are ivory. Their slaughter is just as violent.

Tell the UK Government: close the loophole. Ban hippo ivory.

Illustration of lobsters in captivity. Top panel shows a close-up of a lobster’s eye with the words “I am scared…” Middle panel shows three lobsters upright in a tank, claws bound, with speech bubbles: “Suffocating…”, “Hungry…”, and “I must escape…” Bottom panel shows lobsters crammed in a tank grid. The artwork conveys the fear and suffering lobsters experience in the food industry.

Never seen a vote go my way. My prediction for the next election is either Labour holds and Reform becomes the opposition, or Reform wins and Labour becomes the opposition. Hoping the Greens win though because they are the best we have, but I don't trust the electorate not to punch themselves again.

Did you know that the four pillars of Green politics are a common foundation shared by Green parties around the world? First articulated by the German Greens in the early 1980s and later adopted internationally.

The USA is so much more corrupt and nationalist than its allies, with no left-wing representation of any kind, the USA left is many countries right.

Choose to stand against exploitation. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Image of a newborn piglet lying against their mother on a metal farming grate. Below, white text on a black background reads: “They are vulnerable. And we exploit them. I refuse to be a part of this. I am vegan. I may be only one person. But I am one person.” The message highlights rejecting animal exploitation through individual vegan action.

Evolution isn’t just about biology - it’s about mindsets. It’s about recognising the mechanisms that drive change, discarding outdated ideas, and adapting to a world that no longer accepts injustice as the status quo.
