Guys, can I just put in a word for #AltText ? You're not only helping people who literally can't see, and are using readers. You're also helping people like me who have a terrible memory for faces #faceblind #prosopagnosia, not to mention people from overseas who might not know who the person is.

This is brilliant - Steppe ppl helping Ukrainians by deploying an actual yurt:

Here, people can recharge, warm up, drink tea, and taste the signature Kazakh bread, cooked over a fire.

"Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse" - wow, the wording in this isn't pulling its punches
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share:

There's a massive overlap between miserable whiny sods and lads who listen to right wing influencers and obsess about protein. Eat some chips and do something good for other people lads. It'll cheer you up.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

Since 2020 the world's billionaires have accumulated enough additional wealth to end global poverty 26 times over. This inequality is staggering and utterly outrageous.

My scribe has some fun and talented workmates.
One of them was recently commended in a regional BakeOff.
The theme, for reasons I can only speculate, was 'TACO'.
