Just Stop Oil ended their 3 year protest campaign after their reasonable demand for the UK Government stop licensing new oil, gas and coal projects, became government policy. What does Burnham expect to happen by reversing this? @just-stopoil.bsky.social

Took a week and a half for Evri to acknowledged that somehow my parcel has been "damaged beyond repair in transit", and then they ask me to contact the sender to get it resolved. Worst courier in the UK. Privatised corner cutting through and through.

Just did a very scary thing. Rang my next door neighbour's doorbell to talk to them about my sustainability gardening community organising project, and invite them to join. They did! I thought they might because they've got a lovely garden, but it was still a social-anxiety filled first step. 😅

Part of a leaflet design, with a blurred green flowery background and three deep green bordered boxes.
Title box says "Haven Sustainability Gardening" in bold arched font.
Below is a text box which says "Join a new local community group focusing on gardening for wildlife and growing food. Connect with your neighbours, help make our neighbourhood more sustainable, and prepare for the future, together."
Beside that is a third box with four pictures, one of a gardening work bench with pots and tools and three of different colourful insects on plants.

Bedroom is too hot and no airflow. Resting on a camp bed in the back yard for now.

Looking up at the deep blue night sky from beneath the silhouetted shrubs and trees coming over the fence from my neighbour's garden.

And another one. 😊

It's been a good few days for pictures of lovely critters.

Painted Lady butterfly, orange, dark-brown and white patterned wings wide in the sun, on bright green leaves of dogwood.

Six-spot burnet moth all black except bright red spots on it's wings, sitting in the sun on the purple flower of knapweed.

Still feeling slightly giddy. It was an awesome action. No arrests. I think we really embarrassed the university over their decision to allow fossil fuel funded sponsorship of their climate conference, in front of hundreds of world renowned climate scientists and leaders. 😁 #ExtinctionRebellion

Just had another visitor to my wildlife garden! I was amazed that the @obsidentify.bsky.social app managed to correctly recognise the grey and orange blur in the middle of the photo as a hummingbird hawk moth, but then its second guess was a frog. 😊 Will have to try getting a video next time.

The wildlife gardening in the back yard is going well. Had a rather lovely visitor today. 😍

A large dragonfly, most likely from the aeshna genus, with four long clear wings and a long yellow and pale blue and black patterned body, sitting on the edge of a plastic terracotta pot full of wildflowers, all above concrete paving.

Had a good time at Exeter Pride today. Marched for a while with @takebackpower.bsky.social, wearing my Ace flag, dancing to the beats of the Devon Drummers behind us, then met up with a few others and sat in the sun in the park. Exhausted & back home resting now while the party continues in town.

Some supporters of Take Back Power at Exeter Pride holding a bright pink banner, marching along the road. I'm not in the picture because I was taking it.

Seems like someone has created a chatbot to spam bluesky about the environmental crisis, pretending it speaks for the Earth, because they reckon that will fix a global empathy problem & save us all. 🙄 Inevitably it doesn't understand what it's saying, confusing the issues while wasting resources.

Collapse simplified to 'collapse is good' misses the whole point. Deep adaptation is about what we do with the knowledge, not whether collapse is desirable. Diagnosis and prescription are different operations.

Had this lovely orange tip butterfly visiting the flowers in the back yard today. 😊🌼🦋

I bought a sewing machine to help with repairing clothes and making flags & banners. Had a go fixing a tear in my pyjama shorts with a patch on the inside & some zigzag stitches. Can't say I did a good job, but I'm happy with it as a first learning attempt, and it felt easier than doing it by hand.

A patch of black and white checkered fabric unexpertly stitched to the inside of some blue checkered pyjama shorts just below the waste band with straight and zigzag machine stitches in bright yellow thread.

Still lots of work to do, but gradually making the back yard greener, wilder, better for nature. Spring is really showing the colours now. 😊🌱

Venn diagram with three circles:
Things that help my symptoms.
Things my doctor tells me to do.
Things I can actually do.
All three intersect slightly with the other two, but there's no place where all three intersect together.

Nearly home. This was just within the climate block of the Together Alliance march against the far right. Didn't get far as the march was backed up almost the length of the route so we didn't move for hours. Thankfully we had the lovely XR drummers keeping the energy up.

But Warren Oates echoed the government's claims, so they must be true, and the Starmer faithful have absolute confidence in his integrity and that he'd never lie or do anything wrong. 🙃

> Replied to Warren Oates
Thankyou, at last a commonsense honest explanation. The media doesn't help it just spreads hysteria. I have absolute faith that Starmer would NEVER do anything unlawful. As a 75 year old I wonder at the ignorance that surrounds me.

Spent the day assembling, measuring, sawing, sanding, further assembling, drilling and screwing. Turned the frame of an old fabric wardrobe my landlord had dumped in the yard into a garden workbench so I can grow seedlings in the sun without them being devoured by slugs and snails.

A cheap wooden frame of a garden work bench with slatted shelves, and an all important diagonal support, that I am very proud of. Has a tarp bag and some seedling trays full of compost on it. It's stood against an old garden fence over some paving.

Post your favourite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

John Cleese as the French Taunter from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, dressed in medieval armour, on top of a castle wall, with arms raised above his head, tapping the top of his helmet and blowing a raspberry. Theoden should have tried this at Helm's Deep.

I don't know who pasted the extra couple of words onto this Just Eat sign I saw in Bristol yesterday, but I think I love them. #Subvertising #CivilDisobedience #EatTheRich

A "Just Eat" sign on the side of a kebab shop to which someone has added in the same font "The Rich".

First non-rainy Saturday morning this year, slightly frosty but sunny, went out for a bit of a walk. All the cafes on the quay were packed so didn't bother getting coffee & cake, but did make it down to a local half-rewilded park with a patch of woodland to listen to the birds & see the snowdrops.

Snowdrops blooming in the sun and shade of a late-winter woodland.

Technically I think this is still a crime? but the high court have found that the government were acting unlawfully by making it a crime, so it probably won't be a crime for much longer, with all arrests and charges likely to be overturned. #CivilDisobedience

Improved Exeter flood defences being somewhat tested today. A few feet higher and they'd need to close the gates. I've seen it this high before but not since the weir downstream of the quay was lowered.

River Exe, muddy brown water flowing high and fast, over the paths that run beside it, and level with the buildings and houses on the other side of a flood defence wall.
