“Protest is part of how democracy works. In a past life, Starmer himself represented climate activists like those in court this week.” @carolinelucas.bsky.social

Instead of handing down lengthy prison sentences for peaceful protest, how about we prioritise urgent climate action?

Five years in prison for nonviolent protest: it’s plain wrong, and Keir Starmer knows it | Caroline Lucas

Our first Bluesky post contains some good news for #fungi! After a long history of being unprotected, COP16 marked a huge advancement in the conservation of fungi. 🍄🥳

Thanks to work led by our partners at Fungi Foundation, The Fungal Conservation Pledge was introduced at #COP16. bit.ly/3Vl9GHL

Recently I was lucky enough to sky dive for @anthonynolan.bsky.social and that was, you know, amazing, but it was (more importantly) the first fly agaric I'd seen of the year. Managed to keep my cool. Entirely. Zero cute aggression. Look at the baby. #fungi
