If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

Donate to the RNLI and help save lives at sea
Your donations really make a difference. We depend on your generosity to educate people to stay safe and prevent tragedies on and offshore. Donate here.

There are lots of theories of how these parakeets became native to west London - including the escape of birds owned by Jimi Hendrix in the 60's (!). Dunno if this is one of Jimi's but it seems to be enjoying a crab apple. Taken earlier this week (mid August).

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

Every creature leaves a mark on the Earth. And humans? We leave behind plastic bottles, packaging, containers, and trash. The saddest part is that we are the only species that understands the damage—yet we keep doing it. Our footprint should be one of responsibility, not pollution.

The oxygen mask generation is closer than you think. Stop treating Earth like a trash bin with no consequences. Demand better from leaders. Choose green policies. Support reforestation. Reject ecocide. Our children deserve clean air, not cylinders. Retweet, like.

“Sure, a cummerbund shop’d do more business !” O’Halloran scoffed, forgoing the tact and diplomacy he believed he was known for throughout both Counties Waterford and Kilkenny.
