We TRIPLED our vote share. Second best byelection result in Green Party history. On a date that Labour chose to deliberately clash the same week as our conference. All with a brand new PM in previously a "safe" seat. Best response to all the absolute nonsense today? Join.greenparty.org.uk

I’m no scientist, but I don’t think space mirrors are the answer, not when large scale battery storage is available and becoming increasingly effective.

With regard to nuclear conflict, I recall a quote from some American general that went something like: if just one American man and woman survive, we can start again like Adam and Eve. I guess the climate-change deniers think like that, or that they'll all be saved by the Rapture.🫣

Most of these are likely to be sightings of the Moon or Venus, but symptomatic perhaps of the heightened fear of Russian invasion.

A few years after I left secondary school, the deputy head killed himself after facing accusations. Decades later, the ex-headmaster was up in court with allegations of abuse. He killed himself before sentencing.

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

This is a baffling decision by the Solar Rooftop Solar Team at the Renewable Electricity Directorate, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. I imagine car park owners were concerned about who’d fund the installation of solar carports? (Email: solarcorrespondence@energysecurity.gov.uk )

Just enjoyed a timely talk by @lesliedavenport.bsky.social featuring the “climate emotions wheel” - a reminder there’s no one right way to feel about climate change, the important thing is to acknowledge and tend to the full range of emotions so they don’t come out sideways.
Climate Emotions Wheel - a multicolored wheel highlighting a range of climate emotions falling within four overarching categories:

Positivity, including interest, empowerment, inspiration, empathy, gratitude and hope

Fear, including overwhelm, panic, powerlessness, anxiety and worry

Sadness, including guilt, shame, grief, depression, loss, loneliness and despair

Anger, including disappointment, betrayal, frustration, outrage and indignation

May is now surely upon us, as is No Mow May. With insects in decline, some birds will find it difficult to find enough insects for their chicks, resulting in their starvation and death. Vanna Bartlett reminds us what we can do to help insects and all species that feed on them.

I have no weeds in my garden. Occasionally, I have to cut something back (like the campanula that will strangle other plants) or want to plant something else, but otherwise, I let things be. I have dandelions and, in the summer, ragwort blooming.
