#NotAHeron Humankind understand so so little about what goes on inside the heads of the other Beings upon Planet Earth.
Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

The Oxenham Arms pub in South Zeal, Devon, boasts the unusual distinction of having been constructed by 12th Century monks around a prehistoric standing stone.
If you’re lucky and visit at the right time of day, as I did today, you might also see it being recharged with sacred energy by the sun.

Chief executives are now paid hundreds of times more than the people who actually create value in their companies. This is not innovation or entrepreneurship – it is extraction.
In this video, I explain how fair pay ratios could be enforced through the tax system.

I suspect this article framing is a way to criticise the upcoming doctors' strikes.
The real cause for alarm for me is that the NHS is going into this winter stressed and stretched *yet again*.
We should have a health system that can cope much better with winter pressures and we just don’t. 7/8

The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.
Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.
It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.
