Was thrilled last week to see little birds gathering seeds in the gardens.

(Not great video angle. Several liwer in the plants.) #GardensHour

Next week will be the last #GardensHour of the year. Let’s get a little festive if you wish. Show off your displays, decorations, festive and wintery colours in your garden and houseplants.

We also usually ‘share’ a favourite drink and nibble as we enjoy a virtual party

Do you want to understand how rancid, corrupt and extremist this compromised Supreme Court is and what lengths they'll go to protect Trump?

Of course you do.

It will never stop being infuriating that Trump is held to no objective standards -- even standards he himself claimed he would succeed in!

We've continued to shed manufacturing jobs since Inauguration Day -- despite (or, given the April timing, because of?) tariffs! It's objective reality!

I took approximately a zillion shots on this evening and then went back two days later because it was so incredible. There's something truly special about the light in December.

With the current downpours it’s easy to forget that it was such a dry year, so my favourite thing is that the garden managed to produce some decent crops #GardensHour

Evening all, My favourite garden things this year has probably been all the colours of astrantia, everything else seemed to fizzle out early but astrantia went the distance 🌱

This package was shipped from 400 miles south, 7 hours away. It has now spent a WEEK in the USPS system. I do not understand what is happening.

Can anyone with #USPS experience explain?

Fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow. Was a much anticipated item and the delay is sending me round the bend!

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The coup was over in hours because people said no.

while making some tea i remembered a substitute Physics teacher we had at school for a bit who'd end every lesson with a general "do you have any questions?" segment and one person asked why when you forget to boil a kettle you can tell by the sound because hot and cold water sound different

The roughly 15,000 satellites in space are already a nuisance to astronomy research. It could get a LOT worse.

We've all come to appreciate the beautiful images space telescopes provide us of galaxies, nebulas and more, but they also provide astronomers with important scientific information about our universe....
