Internet friends from abroad Meta is known for interfering in many places and we in Brazil are having to fight Mark's Influence Machine that wants us to vote for a candidate that doesn't respect our country's sovereignty (and an alleged criminal) We're doing our best, but pressure Meta as you can

I have refused many invitations to be interviewed by Piers Morgan over the years. This time I made an exception, on the condition that it be one-on-one, not a scream fest, and that it actually be about the book Astra and I wrote. It was... an experience. youtu.be/SMFQBQx-qSU

Ok, er, why do they have an issue with us getting breast cancer screening?

If El Sayed doesn't win, and it is likely due to the unprecedented money and Islamophobia from both the right and Dems, it'll permanently radicalize many voters against Dem establishment and Israel. I dont think they realize or care. It's scorched Earth.

Still a few old Speckled Woods around in Purbeck yesterday before storm Austen hit. I wonder how long they will survive? Red Admirals still in low numbers and a few Clouded Yellows @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social

Leave them be! 🍂🐭 At this time of year, wildlife is making use of fallen leaves to shelter, find food, and make cosy hibernation chambers to prep for the long winter ahead. If you must clear leaves, move them to one side rather than remove them completely. 📷Yellow Necked Mouse © Alan Price

This 👇 So important.

Little Green Space 🐝@lgspace.bsky.social · last wk.

Keeping an area of grass unmown throughout autumn and winter can really benefit wildlife. Long grass offers protection to all sorts of small creatures - from beetles & bumblebees to frogs & toads 🐸 🐝 🐞 #gardening #biodiversity #rewilding
