Just bottled a batch of Meeta's spicy ketchup, after her prompt to put my San Marzanos to good use. Paired it with duck fat fries for a crisp, golden match. Warm heat, not a burn. Pleased with how the shot turned out too; the sauce glows like late summer. #KitchenGarden 🍜🍽️ 🌶️

The Ukraine war is not just a European war, it's a US war, too. Maga republicans forgetting that the US & UK were instrumental in bringing down the Soviet 'Iron Curtain' and allowing countries like #Ukraine to regain their independence. Bannon needs schooling in recent history. #SlavaUkraine

Just bottled a batch of blackcurrant cordial from fruit picked on our allotment. Sweet, tart and properly fruity. Deeply refreshing with sparkling water. In this heat, it hits the spot. Ribena isn’t even in the running. 🔴💜🔵 #AllotmentLife

Facing Cataclysm capitalism head-on: 1) Educate ourselves about its architects and motives. 2) Organize in unions and communities to strengthen our collective voice. 3) Start a visionary alternative based on science and democracy. 'Together, we can reclaim our future from destructive forces.'
Trump and Musk have ushered in a terrible era of cataclysm capitalism. But I have a plan to counter it | Julia Steinberger
The speed with which US democracy is being dismantled is dizzying, but if we organise resistance now we can stop this, says Julia Steinberger of the University of Lausanne

Then may I suggest having a listen to Paddy McAloon (former Prefab Sprout) and his instrumental score 'I Trawl the Megahertz' it's deeply moving and once can almost feel Bowie's Low in there.

Hainanese chicken: poached chicken, fragrant jasmine rice cooked in a ginger-garlic broth, accompanied by miso dipping sauce and a smashed cucumber salad. First introduced to this dish by my friend Nicky at Hey Hey Noodle Bar, and I finally got around to making it. 🍽️🥢🍚

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there"

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

This is appalling from HSBC, Barclays and other big banks. They look set to drop even their symbolic 'commitment' to averting climate breakdown—brazenly advocating destroying our habitable climate for a quick buck.

It's so easy to move to a bank which doesn't lend to fossil fuels👇

UK high-street banks are financing the climate crisis. It's time to go green. Switch to a fossil-free bank today.
