It's that time of year again when we need to remind National Trust members that Restore Trust is a dark-money funded right-wing astroturfing entryist outfit. Please vote, and vote for literally anyone else.

Support the National Trust by voting for Council members by 11:59pm on 30 October 2026. Quickvote is convenient if you're short of time or worried about inadvertently voting for Restore Trust's Bonigala, Cristea, Goldman, Mealing or Omrani. In our often bad times, the Trust's doing good things.

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while. Why? Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year. Deal? 1/15 #bees

Firstly, I love the title of this poem Secondly, followers know I love a sonnet. This subverts the traditional sonnet, written to a single lover, to a lament to the many – and though forgotten the emotional imprint of their kisses remain ‘the rain is full of ghosts tonight’ #poetry #poemoftheday

Those on the Left should want more than temporary public assistance for a helpless proletariat. We should want a universal material foundation upon which people can build a rich & colourful life for themselves. Insecurity is always the enemy of freedom & diversity. Liberty always needs a platform.

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

Latest theory on the headbutting wasp (yes they're back) is that they're drunk on rotting damsons / apples from the community garden behind our garden + confused by the new building (our newbuild house) in the way of their ancestral flight path. Could that be?

The first state election where people who are financially struggling didn't mostly vote for the AfD in a long time. The way to fight the AfD is to make concrete promises to improve people's lives. Socialism or barbarism: jetzt erst recht.

Carrying one or two chestnuts or conkers in your pocket is an old custom meant to absorb heavy or negative energy, ease an anxious mind, and provide grounding. Traditional #folklore holds that keeping a conker in the pocket wards off rheumatism, joint stiffness, and cramps.
