First time seeing @officialcardiacs.bsky.social in several decades. So many wondrous, heart-in-mouth moments. Incredible, emotional, uplifting.
Bravo one and all @rhodri.biz @vennart666.bsky.social et al. Truly worthy of the highest laudations.
Heartbreaking from @iandunt.bsky.social on the impact these idiots are having on our daily lives.
And he's right, of course. How we respond will define both us and our future. We cannot stand idly by.
Thank you @nicodmueller.bsky.social, a fascinating read - the comparison with internal combustion engines is entirely appropriate and correct.
Hopefully governments and scientists will soon recognise the urgent need to answer your second question more than your first.
Thank you again Celia, so excited to see this.
As you say, this push to end animal testing is 'faster than expected' - with UK and EU also drawing up roadmaps for phase-out, could we be close to a global end soon?
So excited to see this.
Can't wait for the first edition - thank you @celiaford.bsky.social for launching!
Make no mistake, Trump not only wants no alliance with Ukraine but is now actively working to undermine its government and therefore its war effort.
He is in league with Vladimir Putin in every way that matters.
OK, #London.
I have 4 and a half hours to myself tomorrow (Saturday) from 10am.
What should I do?
Niche, weird, leftfield answers particularly welcome...
It's #InternationalMigrantsDay. As a child of a migrant, I'm passionate about migration. The toxic narrative framing migrants, refugees and asylum seekers as 'other', as dangerous, as taking our resources, is hugely damaging. We all play a role in influencing that narrative, putting humanity first
Marines have never been based in Aldershot as far as I know. Maybe Portsmouth?
Hi Sophie, I have full stats of all Aldershot players, including during WW2 - I'm afraid I can't find any mention of your grandad having played for the first team. He might have been in the Reserves though
A nation is defined purely by its geographical borders, a region - whether larger or smaller than a nation - is defined by shared culture, traits or geographical features.
In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

Finally the European Commission has approved its first-ever Animal Welfare Commissioner.
Now is the time to get on with the phase-out roadmap to #EndAnimalTesting.

Especially when the list includes such cutting-edge job titles as 'Vice President Talent & Music MTV UK' or Spotify's Artist Marketing Manager.
But if the presence of Chappell Roan or Ezra Collective encourages someone to check out other names on the list, surely it's a good thing?
Chappell Roan could well be the 'Sound of 2025' by being utterly ubiquitous and dominating airplay.
It's like many radio stations claim to play 'new music' - for some that's a demo tape, for others it's a Bruno Mars single. Both are correct.
140 panellists is too many and will always be unwieldy
I'm loving the Starter Pack concept to help build real communities.
Here's one for charity / third sector comms people from the lovely @freyabarnes.bsky.social.
Let's keep the skies blue and unpolluted by any musky stench

Thanks to @supermathskid.bsky.social for exploring issues around #animaltesting and showing how a focus on non-animal methods could bring us closer to animal-free science a lot quicker than some people think.

Fear not, I'm sure I'll post with the same irregularity and tedium here as I used to in that other place...
