alt-DUP @duponline.eurosky.social · 28/09/2026
This crisis presents itself at a time when both the DUP and SF have underwhelming leaders, people without the ability to find a way out of intractable positions. Politics is the art of the possible. It requires leaders to find a way. Neither appears to want to, perhaps because neither is able to.

​Rising temperatures push plants past their thermal limits, crippling photosynthesis and reducing CO2 absorption. When nature's primary carbon sink fails, global warming accelerates even faster in a dangerous feedback loop. We can't rely solely on nature to fix our emissions. 🌿 #ClimateCrisis

Rising Temperatures Prevent Plants From Absorbing CO2, Study Finds
A new study shows that rising global temperatures rise could reduce the ability of vegetation to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2).

Causeway Pride @causewaypride.bsky.social · 03/02/2026
Our 2026 fundraiser is live gofund.me/907cb930b
Causeway Pride is entering its 4th year  and in a time when LGBTQIA+ rights are under renewed attack, our very existence  is an act of resistance.

We are a small Pride on the north coast, but we are unapologetically political. We are here to honour Mark Ashton’s legacy...

 Solidarity and standing with our community no matter the cost.

 We are here to make the Causeway Coast (and one day all of Northern Ireland) a place where everyone belongs. And we are here to fight back against politicians who have failed us, abandoned us, and continue to side with those who want to erase us.

Let’s be clear: LGBTQIA+ rights were never handed to us.
They were fought for.
They are still being fought for.
And we refuse to let them be taken quietlyEvery Causeway Pride event is free  deliberately. Pride is not a product. Our community is not a marketing opportunity. Rainbow capitalism might thrive elsewhere, but it will never define Pride on the Causeway Coast.

But resistance has a cost.

As we grow, so do the practical realities: a longer parade route, accessible and powerful sound systems, stewarding, safety, and the ability to organise radical, community-focused events beyond a single day in the calendar.

Our ethics are non-negotiable. We do not accept funding from corporations, the local council, or anything linked to fossil fuels. That choice is ours and we stand by it. Our Pride is accountable to the community, not to profit or PR.
In previous years, Causeway Pride has been built by:
• committee members funding it from our own pockets
• trade unions showing real solidarity
• members of the public who believe in queer liberation
• and a proudly queer-supporting  pub

Now, as we build Causeway Pride 2026, we’re asking for solidarity once again.

If you can donate, you are directly supporting a Pride that is community-led, anti-corporate, and rooted in collective resistance. You are helping us take up space, make noise, and remind everyone that we are not going anywhere.

We are
STILL HERE.
STILL PROUD.

The week before Hopkins last played Belfast she livestreamed herself mocking people with thalidomide disabilities. I sent this video to Hastings Group. No response. Hopkins played two shows. My favourite part is where she says "you can't say anything these days" as she says it to her 1.7m followers.

The danger of using voxpops in place of real analysis. Cameras are a magnet for motivated activists. These two made it into four different reels + a dozen print pieces. The illusion is that we're getting an insight into "Clacton voters". In truth, we just know what Farage Megastans Jim & June think.
