Paving front gardens is making neighbourhoods hotter. Here in York it also adds to flood risk but it’s never really talked about. We have one of the last green front gardens locally. #climatechange #community theconversation.com/how-the-tren...

Binge watched Murderbot this weekend. It’s SO good! And an excellent adaption of the novella. Great casting. If you haven’t read the murderbot diaries by @marthawells.com you’ve missed a treat. They are excellent on audiobook too. #sf #fiction #writing #books #whattowatch

Our front garden is becoming one of the last in the street - I live in a flood vulnerable city so it’s so frustrating! I think there needs to be council &government messages about this. Permeable materials are not enough we need plants& trees to absorb some water www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This is the takeaway I use and this is horrifying. This isn’t somewhere else - this is your backyard and mine! I remember in the 80s a local shop near me suffering this kind of horror. I thought we’d moved on from this in 40 years!

This is where the empty headed Flag shagging leads. Race hate.

I feel truly heartbroken today. My Chinese takeaway,
which has been serving this community for more than
10 years, was vandalized with hateful graffiti telling us
to "go home."
This is not just paint on the wall - it is blatant
discrimination, and it hurts deeply
The police are already following up on this incident. If
anyone has seen anything or knows who did this,
please contact us
We work hard every day to serve our customers with
love and dedication. I believe our community is
stronger than hate, and 1 hope everyone will stand
together against this kind of behaviour.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Government has got this spectacularly wrong. If an organisation is breaking the law, prosecute it. But arresting people for holding up signs is a waste of police time, it's increasing support for the organisation &, above all, it's a flagrant violation of free speech. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Police say the majority of arrests were for displaying placards in support of the banned group.

Everybody is involved in education...a call to action that none of us are outside of this space. Who has a 'Talent Vision' articulated for the organisation? One focus in keynote 1 #efye2025 is around strengths based approach. Push/develop the strength, rather than push/develop the deficiency.
