THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical ventures. Soon, these numbered in the dozens.
After much nagging, my dad has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series: michaelcoxmoredaysthansausages.bigcartel.com

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.
His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

I love how Trump, Vance and Musk style themselves defenders of free speech, while simultaneously banning government agencies from mentioning climate change or diversity (inc biodiversity!), equity and inclusion, or even possessing maps which show the Gulf of Mexico.
Torquemadas the lot of them.

We should really really copy Paris.
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Plant a lot more urban trees.

In a world gone mad, the most powerful acts of resistance don’t involve posting on social media, but engaging in your community. Here’s my piece from last summer on the value of Supercitizens, who don’t just provide the glue that keeps us together, but also live longer because of it.
The Power of Supercitizens
Lurking among us are anonymous heroes who quietly amplify social cohesion. Here's what we can learn from them.

A beautiful arched entrance that enhances & heightens the beauty of the tree
However, the tree could be felled IN AN INSTANT, and with no penalty whatsoever to the axeman. Yet the arched entrance is protected BY LAW
I value the archway, but the tree is priceless

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

One of my favourite things about this time of year:
Working to restore the East London tidal marshes, amongst the frosty reeds, as the lower winter sun goes down in a blazing ball of red & gold, framed by the incongruous contrast of the soaring concrete overpass of the North Circular
