I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The RSPB estimate 38 million birds have vanished from UK skies in the past 60 years. But it's not just birds that have vanished.

Our children may think today's numbers of birds, mammals & insects is normal. But as Mike Mayhew tells us, it's really not.

You could write something akin to War and Peace on all that is going on here.

No doubt some of you will find this distressing. But think for a second of the distress millions of Turkeys experience each year.
Over 8 million tortured and slaughtered for one meal. Our actions have consequences. Choose what you chew more wisely...

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today

Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us.

Because the shame has to switch sides.
