You donโt need to travel far to see orchids some can be found right here in London. ๐ธ
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 MPโs 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 orย action. How did it come to this?

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,ย Londonย SE16ย 9GQ
The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the worldโs 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 timeย toย taxย wealth.
A great discussion about how to build grassroots power. Essential viewing! ๐
