"This is precisely the time when artists go to work.
There is no time for despair.
No place for self-pity.
No need for silence.
No room for fear.
We speak. We write. We do language.
That is how civilizations heal." - Toni Morrison

A serving of red cabbage supplies 56% of a day's vitamin C. Enjoy it raw to retain more vitamin C. Another perk: Red cabbage contains anthocyanins, purple pigments that may reduce inflammation & improve insulin sensitivity.

It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism.

Did you know/ Nutrients are most effective when you consume them as whole foods rather than isolated forms. The synergy b/w nutrients in whole foods maximizes their benefits. Choose a holistic approach to what you put on your plate. Eat a variety of colors and watch the magic happen. 🌈

Cardio gives you YEARS of extra life.
Strength training ensures you can pick and play your great-grandkids during those extra years.
Stretching will give you the flexibility to do that without getting injured.
Make sure you’ve got all 3 in your routine for optimal longevity benefits.

#microplastics and #nanoplastics - when will we wake up? We need to urgently turn away from plastics, especially #singleuseplastics
Here's a major source of microplastics in soils.
Other sources, astonishingly, include the *deliberate application* of microplastics, to make soils more friable, and the plastic pellets in which many fertilisers are encased.
It is simply crazy and must stop now.

Happy International Women's Day!
As toxic men plunge the world into crisis, a reminder that having women as leaders produces less war and corruption, higher economic growth, and better welfare, health and education outcomes - to the benefit of both men and women.
Support women for a better world.

Did you know? Around 40% of the fiber in cabbage is soluble fiber, which specifically helps feed beneficial gut bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli that produce vitamins K2 and B12 in your intestines.

The California Wildfires Are the Latest Disaster Supercharged by Climate Change

I know I keep screaming this into the void but just because climate change isn’t the *only* factor contributing to an extreme event doesn’t mean it’s not *a* factor. Literally nothing on Earth is unaffected by the changing climate.

Quality sleep matters! The risk of catching a cold goes up as the number of hours of sleep goes down. A study found that subjects who slept fewer than 5 hours a night were 4.5X more likely to get sick than those who slept 7 hours or more. buff.ly/3xU0DFq

@rspb.bsky.social I’m concerned about your position on this. I’m currently a member but will be reconsidering over next day or so #grouseshooting
This is so mistaken and perverse. We need a BAN on driven grouse shooting. Not licensing, which gives a stamp of approval to an activity that will always be destructive and cruel.
What is the RSPB for?

We need grouse moor licensing in England now.
