It’s been a real joy watching the young storks grow up on the @whitestorkproject.bsky.social nest cam at Knepp Estate. 💗

Incredible birds and wonderful to see them in the UK!

Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.

These are glorious
My medieval pigeon pre-order is still open and will be till the 1st. They’ll eventually end up on Etsy too but if you’d like a pre-pride pigey party, then you can grab one now…Because what is queerer than a pigeon in a hat.

I'm told we've sold 323 t-shirts so far, which is bonkers. Can we get to 500 by next week?

The money goes to helping scientists connect directly with classrooms all over the US. We need science communication more than ever now.
You've got ~a week left to pre-order our collab w/@franzanth.bsky.social, Bigger Than Binaries!

I'll order some extras in orange in a limited size range because I lack a warehouse, I have only a room full of lizards.

Printed locally on 100% cotton.

Get 'em while you can! squidfacts.bigcartel.com

WTF? If this Government can’t even agree to this smallest of initiatives, which has no cost to them & absolutely no down-sides, what hope that it will step up to the bigger nature challenges we face? This is a *popular* policy, for heavens sake. Obstinate tin-eared stupidity doesn’t come close …

I will never understand how a group of bigoted women go all out to destroy the rights of a tiny, marginalised group of predominantly harmless women instead of using their centuries of built up rage to actively destroy the patriarchy and the actual men who do us real harm.

According to Butterfly Conservation research, letting some of your garden grow wild (with long grass) can increase butterfly numbers up to 93% ! Click through for resources on how you can help save our butterflies, they need our help! ⬇️ 🦋
Where did all the butterflies go? 🚨🦋

Newly released data has revealed that 2024 was one of the worst years on record for butterflies in the UK, and more than half of butterfly species are now in long-term decline.

We are in a #ButterflyEmergency.
