OK, let’s show these absolute bastards what we think of them. If you need alternatives - Bluesky (you’re here already, well done; Flashes; DuckDuckGo; Signal; read actual books; shop locally, cook for yourself and get out in your garden/nature/parks, fresh air. Don’t even dream of driving a Tesla.
The Economic Boycott has started.
Don't get gas. Don't get anything.
Don't use Facebook, X, Instagram, nothing tied to those thugs.
Make it a true blackout, the darker, the better. ✊

I think I should make some of these with shortbread and some edible herb flowers and leaves. Heartsease, Lavender and Borage would look beautiful…

F**k Tr**mp and your plastic straws! We need less single use plastics, our oceans are already awash. Vineyards too. I was alarmed to see the results of a recent mole hill in our garden. Look closely and you’ll see it’s full of mulched plastic!

Love a perky plant. @pepperpotherbs.bsky.social
Gardening and cooking friends, may I recommend @pepperpotherbs.bsky.social? A great source of herbs, advice, beauty. They have varieties you can't find everywhere else and all of their plants are incredibly perky.
