Downstream from here, the Cherwell is home to herons, kingfishers, otters and more. It's a beautiful place to walk by, swim in and punt or kayak on. I am so worried about the awful harm this could do (and to the Thames downstream of the confluence, too).
The contaminated waste piled high in a field near Kidlington is now washing into River Cherwell. In the last 48 hours, the water level has risen 4+ feet and is lapping against the illegal dump.

We stand on the edge of an environmental disaster. We need urgent action from the Environment Agency.

Berry palette, November.
As ever zoom in to the details if anxiety's lurking - looking at botanical patterns helps us recover from stress 60% more quickly.
Also the pink Rowan & spindle...I mean...Barbie berries🍒💅🩷

Neeps or pumpkins for #Halloween?
I usually carve both. Although neeps are a pain to carve I love the rather unsettling results #Shetland

Seeing these stunning autumn leaves reflected in a puddle yesterday brought me so much joy! So pleased the photo came out as I hoped it would. It almost looks like you could step through into another world through it 🫶 100% real.

1993: Stephen Lawrence is murdered by racists.
1999: The MacPherson Inquiry recommends recording of non-crime hate incidents.
2005: After the Discrimination Law Review, non-crime hate incidents begin being recorded by UK police.
2025: Mainstream transphobia ends a harm reduction policy that worked.
Met Police says it will no longer investigate non-crime hate incidents
The move comes as an investigation into Father Ted creator Graham Linehan is dropped, after his arrest over a post on X.

Liquidambar leaf palette just now👇🏼. Pause for a moment if you’re feeling anxious-your brain’s likely to release dopamine due to a positive response to colour gradation, certain bright colours & looking at images our brains find appealing. A pause here will make your day slightly easier to tackle 🍁

Reminder that many autistic people worry that they are only valued to the extent that they are useful to society and are not told often enough that they have an intrinsic right to exist.
