As a carer, and a novice autistic photographer, getting outdoors into the ‘quiet‘ (wildlife is rarely quiet 🤣) of nature has a lot of meaning for me
It’s an essential, not a luxury
These are some of my favourite photos as they celebrate the ‘recharge’ nature can give

The woman who screamed "Fuck Islam" 4 times at the Pink Ladies protest has been sacked from the martial arts school she worked at. The article mentions that 80% of her pupils were from an ethnic background. How can these people believe they can act however they like without consequence?

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.
That's it.
That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

From the PSNI’s abject failure protect communities or pursue arrests during the August 2024 far-right violence to to the leaked non-intervention orders issued to PSNI officers during the paramilitary backed far-right Ballymena violence and pogroms - alarm bells should be sounding. [1/4]

I see it's time for me to make the point again that the poppy is a fundraising campaign for the Royal British Legion, a specific, mundane entity that is not exempt from scrutiny and does not own the concept of remembrance.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Also, her name was and always is Virginia Giuffre. And she has caused more positive revolution and change than anyone in recent years.
Let her always be remembered and celebrated. You should still be here.

One of the people killed by Soldier F was a man who stepped out to help another of his victims as he lay dying in the street. He waved a white handkerchief as he did so. Soldier F shot him in the head. His name was Barney McGuigan and today his family had to listen to a judge acquit his killer.
