You don’t need to travel far to see orchids some can be found right here in London. 🌸

Our grasslands and meadows support an amazing variety of plant life, and orchids are one of the best signs of a healthy habitat.

My haiku from @aeiea.bsky.social 's writing workshop:

An egg starts to crack
A cuckoo is in the nest
"That's fake news" he says

I was at Play Praxis today - lots of insightful discussions about using games to help solve real world issues including disinformation, education, polarisation, and neuroscience research.
Thanks to @breshansi.bsky.social and Raphael for organising!

Jeez. Labour MP’s have just voted to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state.

No protest movement has ever brought about change through one single march or action. How did it come to this?

Palestine Action ban ruled unlawful but group remains proscribed for now It remains in place for now to allow further legal argument and the government to consider an appeal.

It's good to see we still have some checks on draconian government overreach.

Great to see the power of juries as a check on oppressive states!

Mapped: how the world is losing its forests to wildfires Wildfires now destroy twice as much tree cover per year as two decades ago – a crisis fuelled by climate change

"By the end of 2024, more than 134,000 square kilometres of forest had gone up in flames – an area greater than England."

www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

A great article on the increasing threat of wildfires by @ashleyjkirk.bsky.social and @pablogutierrez.bsky.social

I don't know what's weaker: international law or Keir Starmer...

Graphic with title: SHARE OF TOTAL WEALTH IN UK There is a line at the bottom of the graphic that represents the UK population. Half of the line is coloured white and labelled '50% of the population combined'. An arrow points from this half of the line to a small pound sign labelled '4.6%' to represent that half of the UK population hold 4.6% of total wealth. At the other end of the line, a small section in green is labelled 'Top 1%'. An arrow points from this section to a much larger pound sign labelled 21.3% to represent that the wealthiest 1% in the UK hold 21.3% of total wealth. Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population.

The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined.

Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.

A great discussion about how to build grassroots power. Essential viewing! 👀
