Lincoln is rather nice. Shame about the recent shift to Reform. St. George flags all over the city's surrounding neighbourhoods. 1215 Magna Carta and 1217 Charter of the Forest saved for rainy tomorrow.

Sad graphs on the squeezing of outdoor play and school playtimes in England. Maybe rather than showing Adolescence in schools we could improve play facilities for young people?

15 years old, but still completely relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we could be creating today would be a LOT better and easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner. Heed it now. #ClimateCrisis
