Dockworkers just did this 5 continents 22 countries 110 ports One message: No harbour for genocide. Dockworkers do not work for war. Pass it on.

With 'Largest Coordinated Port Action Ever,' Dockworkers in 22 Countries Strike Against Gaza Genocide | Common Dreams

"We, the workers in the ports, know very well that without us nothing moves. Without our hands, containers remain still, ships are not loaded, the war machines are blocked."

Maybe a lobster pot? The metal frame is well squished and rusty in places, but the rope looks modern so it can't be that old. I hate this plastic rope we use for fishing. It must fragment and get everywhere at sea. 🙁

This one hurts. 💔 Rest well, Patrick. 🖖🏼

I finally sorted out my coriander seeds. It's only been, what, 3 or 4 months? Sieved first to get rid of the last few twig bits, then into jars with a lil silica gel packet. 🙂 These aren't for cooking; the plants went a bit mouldy before I collected the seeds. But some might grow next year!

I'm so tired. 😢

UK spending on ‘fairytale’ carbon capture tech is a national embarrassment, chancellor told

“Where is Britain’s Lula?” I dunno mate every time someone with similar politics comes to the fore you ridicule them, demonise them and denounce them as racist for not supporting a genocide

The sweet williams from @nkdgardener.bsky.social are coming back for round 2! They survived the storm, so I guess they're eager to try a Scottish winter?

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Today marks the start of Ace Week. This year we will be amplifying the voices of our co-chair @kathrynbristow.uk who is ace:

🤥

Astonished to see so many people actively defending more north sea gas licences from Burnham. "oh we need the gas though" "oh but china is worse" "oh but heat pumps are expensive" I want to scream.

I am so, so incredibly tired of Andy fucking Burnham. What an absolute cunt.

Jackdaw North Sea gasfield to get go-ahead in blow to climate campaigners

Fungal grotto in a tree stump. I see these shrooms (or ones like them) a lot around here and I really like them. Isn't brown supposed to be a boring colour? Stuff like this makes me disagree 🙂

We’re out here at Tennyson Fall Fest in Denver with our Spooky Season Collection! Its a beautiful day to take home some pottery ☕️ 🎃

Labour is building a segregation state. Bigotry is protected by law. Andy Burnham could have prevented all of this. He has chosen not to. This is fascism. It makes him a fascist.

Civil servant transgender guidelines leak just dropped:

I found this little weirdo on a strip of cut grass by the beach. Then the sun came out and all the grass lit up with a nice deep green, so I had to snap a pic. I'm never sure if I'm seeing something new or not; they change so much in just 24 hours.

The NHS's revised guidance on single-sex wards is cruel, unworkable and LGBTIQA+ Greens calls on Labour to withdraw it and reform the Equality Act.

As relevant now as it was then. Bryant was being interviewed about her plan to open conversion torture centres for gay people. At the time, she was platformed and respected for her hateful ideas because she operated within the bounds of respectability and decorum.

#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears. Following a boycott, she lost her job as brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. More LGBT+ history here: workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/

@nkdgardener.bsky.social MacDuff Aldis is quite nice! There wasn't much reduced veg though so I expect you'd dock a few points for that.

Nationalise the rolling stock

'jk rowling is just protecting women and girls from trannies' is functionally no different from 'tommy robinson is just protecting women and girls from immigrants' it presupposes that trans ppl, or immigrants, are inherent dangers to women and girls and neither demographic actually is it's bigotry

These toadstools appeared overnight and were gone two days later. They're so bizarre. I know the important parts live in the soil itself, so I'm hopeful this means my raised bed has a healthy fungal component to go with all the humus and wee beasties 😁

I didn't plant any tomatoes this year. Last year's tomatoes took issue with that choice, and so here we are.

Another one of my "leave it and see" pots has produced more wild cabbage type things. I think it's a bit late in the year for them to come to much, but they're always nice to see.

big evil guy: "ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴜʟᴛʀᴀᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ᴍᴇɢᴀᴋɪɴɢ, ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴅᴇᴠᴏᴜʀ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ꜱᴏᴜʟ ᴏɴ ᴛʜɪꜱ ꜱᴛᴀʀ" hydaelyn, whispering from a tiny mote of light: "...𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳. 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘪𝘧𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦..." looks like we're on our own again lads

A great example of how private companies will do literally anything for profit, no matter how damaging or evil. Honestly. Spreading diluted landfill leachate on farmland, for money. I just don't have the words for how much that makes me despair.

When the Tories talk about “cutting red tape” it means repealing regulations that were put in place because someone died so corporations can profit. They weren’t put there just because someone fancied a bit of bureaucracy

There is no such thing as a "Center-Right". There is no fascism light. These people are all the same once you pull the mask off. They'll hand power to open fascists if the alternative is helping the poor and marginalized and possibly inconveniencing the wealthy. Every single time.

Supremely disappointing. There is no way to safely store nuclear waste for thousands of years, and it's already being horrifically mismanaged. Future generations should not inherit this burden. There's no guarantee they'll even know where it's stored in 100 years, let alone a thousand.
