This is exactly what we have been warning about. But oh no, anyone who objects to the changes is a selfish, privileged nimby, a zealot, a blocker, an elitist. Let's trash the lives of England's poorest communities, and smear anyone who complains. Thanks Keir. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Just a quick reminder that the NHS isn’t a ‘religion’, despite what some right-wing media outlets might tell you. It’s a public service. The sneering articles which trot out this line do so repeatedly and intentionally, to undermine the public’s support of universal healthcare🚨

Hooklanders talk of 'the Other Path'. It flows from sea to county's northern edge, but never seems to start nor end in the same place twice. It's said if you walk too far along it, you'll find yourself in Faery. This may explain another name it has – 'the Way of the Lost'. – #CLNolan

New North Sea oil and gas fields would emit as much CO₂ as UK households produce in 30 years, according to research from Uplift. These destructive and unnecessary licences must be stopped. We need renewable energy, not climate destruction.
A bold graphic featuring a green-tinted image of an offshore oil rig surrounded by dark clouds. The text reads: "Real Hope. Real Change." in smaller lettering at the top, and in large, bold white letters: "NEW OIL AND GAS IS NOT THE ANSWER." The Green Party logo, including its sunflower emblem, is positioned at the bottom, with a legal disclosure line about the promotion of the image below it. The graphic conveys a strong environmental message against new fossil fuel projects.

                      Before A Sandstorm :—

       Tonight
       I saw the full-moon rise
       Strange, stranger than all nights before;
       A huge moon, stifling streams of fire—
       Rose-fire into a dim mauve sea.

       I felt it—the fire
       Sift through me,
       Rose-fire sifting through me
       Into a dim mauve sea.

With their leaves and needles, the trees act like giant filters. One ha. of beech forest can filter around 70 tons of dust out of the air every year, a ha. of spruce forest as much as 30 tons. In addition trees produce oxygen. Forests and parks as "green lungs" are important.🌳🌲

Thresholds are engines of magic. The salt-hags thresholds are the cliffs she walks, the shore she strides. They transmute with each storm, each mutating tide. She must continually map them with her feet. Any talk of witchcraft that ignores such witchgraft is disingenuous. – #EmilyCanting #WitchSky
You stand at the edge of a cliff, salt-blasted grass at your feet. Ahead of you is the sea and a stretching away of rocky cliffs that offer no easy access to the shores little nooks. Tide froths and boils as it hits rocks. Gulls screech. Gulls gossip. Storm augury infects the sky.

The Alder King may be sleeping. The Master of Moss may be hibernating. The witch still walks the woods. For there is gathering to be done, spirited conversations to be had. Her magic does not sleep, her magic doesn't shiver. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky
A December wood. The ground has a tiger orange carpet of leaves.  The trees still wear some gold to distract from their black wooden bones. You feel the sleeping absence of male spirits gone to ground for the season of shivers not as a loneliness, but an opportunity to speak with certain arboreal voices free from braying interruptions.
