I think we should replace bonfire night with a quiet celebration of the night skies. Once every year we should turn off all lights for an hour or two, stop everything and gaze at the stars.

We loathe the use of fireworks, they frighten animals and disturb wildlife and for what?!
They’re utterly pointless! Do you agree?

For every 100 calories of grain fed to farmed animals, just 3–25 calories of meat are produced.
This system is wasting food & land while also causing animal suffering.

Important story on the horrors of #woodburning by my excellent colleague @dpcarrington.bsky.social a must-read and must-follow:

Use of wood-burning stoves and fires in homes is mostly unnecessary and their toxic pollution costs the NHS millions

Mission Mouse
In retrospect my mission to evict mice from the heat revcovery unit was always doomed. Far cleverer than me, they soon overturned the humane traps, stole the bait, stuffed them with bedding and made a warm winter nest.
Back to the drawing board then.

What if we stop shouting?
Those who don’t understand science feel disenfranchised by the system and our world of technology.
There’s a battle but each side is on a different battlefield screaming outrage into an infinite chasm between.
It’s not a fight about the science, it’s a fight for science.

There’s clear, positive correlation between economic success and inward migration. And, there’s no alternative, realistic way for an ageing population to pay for its own care. @wanderinggaia.bsky.social
The truth: we need migration.
The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it.
Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality.
Reject it. Draw the line.

While it will be a roaring success with their core supporters, it will turn the council into a national example of climate denial, harming the county's interests and reputation. A strategy that prioritizes short-term cultural signalling over long-term, pragmatic governance.
Repellent climate denial from the Reform-led Kent Council, who have tabled a motion to ‘rescind the climate emergency’, in a document that is bollocks from start to end.
You can’t rescind atmospheric physics.
But Farage would rescind the Climate Change Act.

Having lived in Kent from childhood until last year ago this makes me so sad. I left because it had become too noisy and polluted with degraded countryside and crowded villages. Once England’s idyllic Garden its council are now in idealistic denial.
