Arctic Sea Ice 12. Jun 2023 Error or not we are not doing good in taking care of our only known Habitat. Shocking News about Ocean Heat but not one celebrity or one politician has reacted so far.

Looking forward to digging into this topic - those dark difficult characters can be the most interesting to write (and read)

Can someone enlighten me as to why one man shouting at someone in the street gets arrested for a public order offence, yet a group of men can stand outside an abortion clinic with placards, yelling and threatening women, and 'nothing can be done' about it?

People are literally swimming in sh*t, pumped into our waterways by privatised companies who prefer to invest in dividends & grotesque salaries instead of renewing infrastructure. Time to bring water back into public hands @Feargal_Sharkey @sascampaigns My Urgent Question 👇

Situated 381m above sea level, Bard is a quiet and picturesque town that features many 16th-century buildings, including the Bishop’s House and the House of the Sun Dial. DYK Bard Fortress is its most famous landmark? #AostaValley #Travel #medieval

Seeing this sign outside a random East London pub has made my day. Giving the @Womens6Nations its own space has created more visibility and the tournament hasn't even started! @ScrumQueens @Premier15s

Two friends have spent the past two winters 'chasing' and photographing murmurations of starlings around Lough Ennell in Co Westmeath. Their evening walks have rewarded them with some spectacular images and much more besides. 📷

Sometimes he wondered if he existed at all, if he had not been drawn by some #brutal artist, not flesh and blood but cold graphite on the page, a meaningless doodle to accompany a frothy cappuccino and a slice of lemon cheesecake. #vss365
