Have you head of GHS, Government Human Service?

Probably not! It's just a thought experiment I've been entertaining in my head for a while.

I'd love to know what you think...

@lukelukeluke.bsky.social look 👀 I saw these mushrooms popping up in a sand dune in the north of the Netherlands, the island of Schiermonnikogg to be exact 🇳🇱 🍄‍🟫 🍄‍🟫 I never thought about the mycorrhizal network in sand dunes before… their caps were gently nodding in the wind #fungi #sanddunes

Privatisation broke our water system.

@labourslewis.bsky.social has a people-first, evidence-based alternative, and I’m backing it.

Add your name to the People’s Plan for Water: ​https://actionnetwork.org/forms/water-belongs-to-all-of-us-back-the-peoples-plan-for-water?source=bluesky&​

Our privatised water system is broken - and water lobbyists have worked hard to shut down alternatives.

In July the People’s Commission is launching a people-first vision for our water in Parliament.

Your MP needs to hear about it: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...
Ask your MP to show their support for a people-first future for our water!
We can make our water work for people - not shareholders - but water lobbyists are working hard to shut this solution down. Will you make sure your MP hears about it?

Palestine Action ban: what will it mean in practice?

Our guide covers what won't be allowed after the ban comes into force. Counter-terror powers are used in an overtly racist & Islamophobic way- the policing situation is likely to be unstable once it's in force.

I’ve just signed Greenpeace’s petition calling on the Foreign Secretary David Lammy to stop selling arms to Israel. British arms are fuelling the killing - can you join me and call for a ban?

About to listen to this conversation at the #CharlstonFestival so ironically I’m making a rare post online. This is the hook for me: ‘Christine Rosen argues that true human fulfillment comes from living an unpredictable, analogue life.’

Israel needs help - I can’t help thinking how short and selective human memory can be when I watch this. Did no one teach them what happened in Germany to their people?

Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water?

It’s time to bring water back into public hands.

Have you heard of the Butterfly Revolution? Please report if you feel comfortable so more people understand what’s happening.

The BBC aren’t reporting on this but Adam Curtis will be in a couple of decades.

You would appreciate this video. Talks about Tech Bros and Vought working together to destroy America and rebuild as they see fit. They will ultimately battle each other for complete control but until then they are sadly doing a good job.
