I've dropped in on a Somerset reforestation project with 5000 trees we planted over two years. This site is my favourite -the trees absolutely love it here! Every tube I checked had a live tree - almost unheard of! Kudos to the legendary @philsturgeon.com & his tenacity with @protect.earth 1/4

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens. After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico. Torquemadas the lot of them.

In a world gone mad, the most powerful acts of resistance don’t involve posting on social media, but engaging in your community. Here’s my piece from last summer on the value of Supercitizens, who don’t just provide the glue that keeps us together, but also live longer because of it.

The Power of Supercitizens

Lurking among us are anonymous heroes who quietly amplify social cohesion. Here's what we can learn from them.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

We don’t talk enough about the importance of standard components in a greener economy. Engineers always say “but *our* design for battery/connector/module is 2% better than a standard one”, missing the point that it’s far worse for repair, reuse, recycling & minimising extra “stuff”. It’s maddening.
