Wildlife depends on trees and forests. Trees provide nesting sites, food, habitat and shelter for a wide variety of animals. From the smallest insects to large predators, everything is represented. We need the protection of existing forests and reforestation worldwide.💚🌳🌲🍀💚

Looking from window can see site of Candida Casa, church established by St Ninian in Whithorn, Galloway, mid 5th century. There's an old church built on site. When in France lived in ancient presbytery with old pilgrim route nearby - love history but open-minded about religion

@hillaryclinton.bsky.social Glad to see you here Mrs Clinton. Let's hope Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner follow us here. They can't be taken seriously if they stay on that older, seriously toxic platform.

Did you know that without trees we would hardly be able to breathe due to air pollution, traffic exhaust, heat and industrial fumes? Our air would be completely polluted. The forests and trees clean our air and filter out particles that are harmful to us.💚☘️🌿🌱🌲🌳🍀💚

I know we have a gazillion international organisations and structures but I reckon a new group of EU + UK + Canada would be a great (and publicly acceptable) thing right now and would be a good way to forge a path back to full collaboration with the EU.

@hayloftbooks.bsky.social Sorry for the absence folks. I had to relocate. I'm glad to see the Mirror is now on blue sky. What on earth is going on in America FFS? Well I am glad we have a Labour government. A Conservative one in these circumstances doesn't bear thinking about.

Elon Musk's Building America’s Future PAC is sending out texts impersonating the Harris campaign that lead to websites citing bogus policies

Saying Harris supports children having their gender changed without parental consent

There's deeply cynical and then there's things which might be illegal. In the first category we have an Elon Musk-funded PAC microtargeting Jewish and Arab communities with diametrically opposed ads…

One of the main objections to the new block policy was from women concerned that it makes it easy for men harassing them to keep reading their posts and gathering information. If you are still posting over there maybe weigh your needs against solidarity with female colleagues.

The damage & cost of Brexit will continue to get worse unless the government do more, much more to prevent it.

The reported £22 billion 'black hole' in Britain's finances is dwarfed by the actual cost of Brexit - and the figure is set to rise further.
