If you're considering dressing your child, self or home in Halloween tat this year, PLEASE consider charity shops first. Went on my lunchbreak, all of them had racks of stuff identical to what's on sale new elsewhere. Also, you MIGHT get a £130 De'Longhi espresso machine for £15! I know I did! ☕

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

Lots of mind-bogglingly daft lines from realtors about the lack of future risk ("it's been there since the 90s, forever!" etc), but the chilling part is the political suppression of honesty re: climate change because of the need to keep selling real estate. heated.world/p/the-open-h...

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

I was at Hummelwald Forest recently, again taking shelter from the rain the rain, when I noticed unusual activity in a nearby puffball forest. It turns out that falling drops of rain were striking the puffballs and causing spores to eject. Very cool. 🍄📷 🍄 #FungiFriends #Mushrooms 🌿

Learning the extent to which some parents are digitally stalking their kids these days, including ones who've left home to go to uni, is pretty shocking. I wish all kids a very successful purchase of a burner phone as soon as they have any money.

If they were holding a placard that said "I oppose genocide and support Palestine Action", they would be in jail, but criminal damage and assault are fine as long as you're targeting approved hate figures (lifeguards suspected of not letting migrants drown).

a lot of love for the RNLI, as is right. once people are rescued and on dry land they need support and solidarity – consider donating to migrants' rights network too, or using their resources to get involved migrantsrights.org.uk
