This is me, in case you're wondering who this is. You may know me from other places on social media. Both pics are me. Yes I have blue hair. I love a SJW stereotype.

One Manchester study found that shade from street trees reduced surface temperatures by an average of 12C - but they still aren't seen as a vital part of city infrastructure (article from 2022)
40C heatwaves are now reality. It's time to transform our cities
What can we do to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme heatwaves? Quite a lot actually, writes Jon Burke

27 people — including a priest, professor and health workers — were arrested today under terrorism laws.

Their crime? Peacefully holding signs opposing genocide.

This is how we sleepwalk into fascism.

Peaceful protest where you say things the government doesn't like are now illegal and graffiti is terrorism.

Also chanting that you would really like a murderous militia to maybe stop being so murderous is terrorism?

The actual terrorists are tidy though, if they're on the side where the money is.

Not sure why folks are simping for the current labour government as if they haven't been a full on disaster from the start. This is true regardless of how it happened and what they inherited.

They've shown very clearly who is important and who is expendable with no clear reasoning as to why.

Why is it that all the housewives franchises have at least a couple of cast members who are very similar in the way they look and style themselves?

Some of them it's practically the whole cast, so you can say 'the blonde ones or 'the curvy one'.

I'm finding that being nice and even helpful when making a #complaint is leading to them saying thank you for the feedback, we'll take that forward.

In my desire not to be a Karen, I'm not getting my issue addressed and I really don't know how to find a mid ground where everyone is happy

I just found out that the very first NOW album came out the year I fell pregnant with my son

Coincidence, I think not. It's a known fact that compilation albums encourage teenage pregnancy.

Gingers boy mode has shifted from a plus size Lesley Jordan to a pocket sized Elton John. I'm a Lesley Jordon stan first and foremost, always and forever, but I'm very glad that they're feeling more comfortable in their skin now.

Mad youth Demand & Taking The PIP

Which rejects the concessions that the Labour government put forward under the welfare reform bill

The concessions announced put future/young disabled people at risk of poverty, with identical cases receiving very different financial support, depending on when they applied.

Labour rebels must stand firm.

Write to your MP this weekend, tell them to Bin the UC and PIP Bill!

‘It’s a complete assault on free speech’: how Palestine Action was targeted for proscription as terrorists
It started as a group of activists on a budget – now it could be banned under terrorism laws. But were lobbyists behind the proposed ban?

Keep waiting for the 'early twitter' vibes to kick on on here but I haven't got close yet.

Does anyone have some advice on how to find the right corners of bluesky or is it never going to have early twitter vibes?

Hoping I can put some nitrile gloves over my lightweight hand supports so I don't have to take them off when I cook in a bit.

Watching the #vanderpumprules reunion episode they did from home because of the pandemic.

Glad to be at the end of this season to be honest. Next season is no boring narc new people and no Jax. 🥳

Enjoying the bug off today in #ACNH

Made some coin selling my stored bugs to Flick and now seeing if I can get all the bug off rewards. The backpack is so cute and I'm wearing it already.

Is there a corner of Bluesky that likes #Nintendo #Nintendoswitch #Switch ?

The problem with repeating challenges that are so close to previous ones is that they will always be compared.
The doggy bitchelor just didn't stack up though that's not a surprise given the concept.
The original bitchelor in all stars was 🔥🔥🔥

TBF American Psycho is a pretty good dramatisation of crypto bros lack of values and ethics.
