Let rivers be wild 🌊 Rivers should have space to wind, wander and flow naturally. By #restoring habitats, and bringing back natural ecosystem engineers like beavers, we can help more life thrive. This #WorldRiversDay, let’s give our rivers the freedom to flourish. 💦

The Rhine is in uncharted territory. Normal flow where it enters the Netherlands is around 1,500 m³/s in September. Now it's well below 600 m³/s... and still going down.

Train stations are often undervalued & underused community assets. Love to see them being used in this way. “We have noticed incredible amounts of wildlife, bees particularly. Honeybees, solitary bees, butterflies. That has changed a lot, we have seen the return of hedgehogs, we have slowworms.”

​He does this every time. Maybe he's trying to wish it into reality. But the truth is, Russia chose to invade Ukraine four and a half years ago. Every day since then, they have chosen to continue it. The day they choose otherwise is the day the war will end.

Anyone know why a newspaper owned by the Fourth Lord Rothermere, who inherited a fortune from the Third Lord Rothermere, who inherited his money from the Second Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the First Lord Rothermere, is so strongly opposed to inheritance tax?

Take a seat and admire the view. This morning was just incredible here in Glastonbury. Intense colour that started well before sunrise. I took quite a few so will post more later. When I see intense colour like this, I tend to rush around & panic that I can't be in ten different places all at once 😂

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars.
Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
