Don’t know about anyone else but I’d never heard of these, now curious to try them. Maybe they could grow in a greenhouse/polytunnel here?

🚨 NEWS! 🚨 The UK’s biggest-ever legal case over environmental pollution has hit the High Court. Nearly 4,000 people are suing Avara Foods, Freemans of Newent & Welsh Water over the state of the Wye, Lugg & Usk - rivers choked by chicken waste & sewage. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

If true, suggestions that Number 10 has blocked this vital report because they don’t want to admit, and face, the UK’s vulnerability to the growing climate & nature crises would be unforgivable. Risks don’t go away if you ignore them. They get worse. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Good tips for any neurodivergent folk working in offices. (The strip lighting one especially relevant for me.)

Best news I've read all day. Though it should still be longer. Vile animal.

Omg I thought our dog was a bit lacking in braincells but this one wins all prizes 😂 (watch all of it)

Just in case you haven't seen this hugely popular Friends of the Earth petition... 120,000 people have signed it already. Please add your signature. CommunityPlanningAlliance 🦇🦎 Stop the government’s plan threatening nature action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/stop-…

Young people, your parents can’t say they didn’t know or that there weren’t decades of warnings… #climatebreakdown

Tragic. Preventable. Final. The Slender-billed Curlew is officially extinct, declared today by the IUCN. On our watch. We are technically brilliant and carelessly blind. Sit with the silence. Then fight for what remains. #Extinction #BiodiversityCrisis #Curlews David Gray

Zia Yusuf is incorrect. I wrote the Greens’ drugs policy which Zack Polanski advocates for. Riskier drugs such as heroin would only be available on prescription from an NHS doctor (incidentally, this was the system that existed in Britain prior to the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act)

Another sacrifice to the fossil fuel industry. ‘Platypus vanish from river where Charles Darwin pondered evolution’ - ABC News abc.net.au/news/2025-10-1…

One of the most depressing things about being an environmental activist is that you know some people amongst you will be spycops. In XR we just accepted that they were simply doing their job & shut down the more obvious ones. But this is just horrific. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/o…

Bloody hell.

I think most people are completely unaware of the amount of trauma children who have been removed from a birth family, fostered and then adopted, carry. Nor the impact on their adoptive families who have very little support or training to try and help them through it.

The Government has tabled 67 last-minute amendments to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill.‼️ Rushed through with little scrutiny, it’s a shambolic way to reform the planning system. It creates confusion, sidelines science and leaves nature dangerously exposed. (1/3)

This is laughably insane. Migrant farm workers, carpenters etc don’t need A-level standard English to do bloody good & necessary work when the vast majority of English people couldn’t achieve the same 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

This is a great historical factoid, that must have taken some guts!

Much needed in the UK & US.

For national #MushroomDay I ate these tasty Shaggy Parasol (Chlorophyllum Rhacodes) mushrooms I found under our conifers. In white wine, shallots & garlic with orzo. Mmmm. Feeling fortunate I don't live in the US where they have a very toxic lookalike in the same family.

Horrifying piece that shows exactly how Labour minister is dancing to the tune of biggest profit-driven developers & failing to meet pledges on new homes & on affordability. Worse, they don’t even seem to care 👇
