It's not political to say that governments need to prioritise cutting carbon emissions in order to improve the environment in which we live in. Heat waves like the one we're in right now in the UK isn't normal. There is plenty of research, science and facts that state this. #heatwave
Really happy with our front raised beds. I am not usually much of a gardener but I am proud of these beauties!
Brilliant resource. Further to what I said earlier, this was mainly done with homes in mind, but you can adapt a lot of these solutions for schools. Not the importance of blinds, external shading and PLANTS.
Alex Ingram@nutty.bsky.social · 2mo ago37 degrees in London for three days is it? YIKES. Time to review the Shade the UK list of ideas again to see if there’s anything further I can do on the flat. (Main thing is getting at least a temporary canopy up over the sunny patio, I suspect) So many ideas: www.shadetheuk.com/overheating-...
Dadi Freyr's new album is awesome. Totally fun and a joy to bop around the kitchen to!
Finally did it. Oppenheimer yesterday. Barbie today. Liked both.
It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.
That libraries are better run with trained, experienced (qualified) professionals. Not just volunteers. #libsky #teachsky #skybrarians

Librarians ARE still needed (in fact, are even more essential today, than they've ever been).

Starting a new book on this cold, wet, Sunday pm. Been a good long while since I've read a Murakami! #booksky #libsky #imalibrarian #thisgirlreads
Nothing like a free coffee from a former student! A real surprise to see them, having finished a biochemistry degree and now a boss at a nearby Costa! Absolutely amazing 🤩
Libraries are about access, representation and inclusion. They are absolutely not about banning books and taking away that access. FYI there are some gems on this censored book list. Go and read them. www.indexoncensorship.org/2026/03/scho...
School book banning escalates in the UK as Greater Manchester secondary school censors scores of books - Index on Censorship

On Thursday only Greens can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. And we will beat their hate with a message of hope. On Thursday help us make hope normal again.
Absolutely bloody wonderful.
Omg. WTF is Happening?@lalahaenzy.bsky.social · 6mo agoSir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
Watched No Other Choice last night and it's glorious! Park Chan Wook is a fave director of mine and their new film is dark, grotesque and full of irony. Absolutely loved it 🫰
Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

"One of the central themes of the campaign is to make books and reading visible, so they show up regularly in our lives." Well said. Going to be taking a book on the tram on my way to and from work now.
