Hello All. I don’t have many followers so won’t be missed but I have set up in Blue Sky: @edengem.bsky.social - same crystal lampshade! Keeping a hand on Twitter though to see what happens before Armageddon and we need to take cover. Good luck everybody 😢

@Tush27J SHAME ON YOU!!

This tedious little w*nker is Chris Weston, CEO of Thames Water. He says: "Bills have been too low for too long." You will note that he says nothing about his salary has been too high for achieving f*ck all. Thames Water has not built a reservoir SINCE 1977. #BBCBreakfast

In 2016, a dog was stranded in a dam in Almaty, Kazakhstan, unable to escape the slippery banks. Complete strangers linked arms to pull it to safety. Ten years later, their compassion lives on through a statue honoring that unforgettable rescue.

Imagine begging people to interrupt their summer holidays to help you beat a bin in an election you didn’t need to have.

@GBC_Press If insurrection, illegal war, treason, nepotism, blatant corruption & theft, criminality, thousands of proven lies, cheating, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, pedophilia, rape, violence, hate & incompetence weren’t your final straws, I don't want your opinion on anything.

Bravo 🤣🤣🤣🥂🥂

When wildfire destroys human houses, the whole world watches. News cameras arrive. Losses are counted. Families are interviewed. Help is demanded. But just beyond those homes, an entire forest is burning. Deer are running with their young. Birds are fleeing through smoke. Animals are losing their nests, food, shelter—and sometimes their lives. For humans, a burned house is a tragedy. For wildlife, the burned forest was not just a house. It was their entire world. They cannot speak to reporters. They cannot ask for compensation. They cannot rebuild somewhere else. Wildfires are not only human disasters. Wildlife suffers silently, often without attention, rescue, or headlines. When we protect forests, we are not only saving trees. We are protecting millions of homes that have no walls, no insurance, and no voice. Their home matters too. #Wildfire #Wildlife #ForestFire #SaveWildlife #ProtectForests #ClimateCrisis #AnimalLivesMatter #EnvironmentalAwareness #ThePlanetVoice

@PeterStefanovi2 @hewitson10 Oh my. How blessed @PeterStefanovi2 that your wife was able to send a final message as she passed. Peace. 😘

Many have asked why I have been so silent these past weeks. I'm heartbroken to say my beautiful, darling wife passed away on Thursday. She had held my heart in her hand from the first moment I saw her and we shared 36 wonderful years together. She had bravely battled cancer with courage and fortitude for many years yet still never lost the ability to light up a room with her beautiful smile, her wonderful sense of humour and her laughter. Not once did she give up the hope for life. I truely believe there is more to this existence than we know and that one day we shall be reunited by our love for each other, a love that was so honest and so real and so true. Until then I shall hold her tightly in my heart. When my daughter and I returned home from the hospital a red rose had appeared in our garden. It was right outside our door and had appeared from nowhere in a clump of dry weeds. Red roses were my wife’s favorite flower. She wore 3 in her hair at our wedding and carried a bouquet of red roses. I had asked her to send me a sign before she passed to say she was ok. It must have been sent by her. You will stay forever in my heart until we are together again my darling ❤️

Dear @thameswater, as you ban me from watering my lawn, could you repair this 'leak' on the New River (N London water supply) which has wasted MILLIONS of gallons of fresh water in last few years?

Scotland has just done something quietly brilliant for its birds 🐦 New buildings across the country will now have to include "swift bricks", hollow bricks built straight into the walls that give birds a safe place to nest. It sounds like a small thing but it isn't. Swift numbers in the UK have fallen by around 60% since the mid-1990s, and one of the biggest reasons is heartbreakingly simple: modern buildings have nowhere for them to go. Swifts have always nested in the nooks and gaps of our houses, and as those disappeared, so did they. The birds themselves make it worse by being loyal to a fault. Swifts return to the exact same nest site year after year, having flown thousands of miles from Africa to get there. When they arrive to find it sealed up, some will keep flying at the spot again and again, sometimes injuring themselves in the process. The bricks cost about £30 each. They need no maintenance, they don't affect insulation, and once they're in the wall, you'd never know they were there. Sparrows, starlings and house martins use them too, all species in trouble for the same reason. One RSPB conservationist put it starkly. In his part of Glasgow, not a single swift bred in 2025, the first time in his 30 years there. He called it "nothing short of heartbreaking." Scotland is the first country in the UK to write this into law. Campaigners are now hoping the rest follows.

If you’re just waking up and haven’t caught the news yet… Reform UK lost two council by-elections to Labour last night in Thurrock. I know Zia Yusuf and Nigel Farage won’t be tweeting about this one, so just making sure you’re all aware 😂😂😂

@Erling Oooh love your sandals - cool, classy, chic🥂

Photos from the last few days 😎

@supertanskiii Superb! Wonderful when Reform encounter one with insight, knowledge and critical thinking 🥂🥂

This is beautiful from start to finish.

Richard Gere: “Trump uses the same words that Hitler did. Calls them vermin. They’re not vermin. These are human beings. I’ve met them. He’s never met a refugee or a migrant. These are human beings like us who are usually running from a fire of one kind or another”

Spain’s players refused to celebrate with Trump after the U.S. president attempted to insert himself into the middle of their victory photo. He was politely pushed aside.

@andyburnham wish you well AB. I liked KS and regret how he was removed by his “colleagues”. I hope right-wing media et al give you a chance to continue working for the country - but fear their knives are already being sharpened. Good luck 🥂

Now imagine a summer without it. We've paved, fenced and tidied our gardens until there's nowhere left for the small lives that used to share them. No gaps to pass through. No shelter. And on a hot day, not a single drop to drink. 𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬 Your garden can flip from problem to solution faster than almost anything else you own. Put out a shallow bowl of water with a stone in it so nothing drowns. Cut a Hedgehog-sized hole in the fence. Let a corner grow wild. Plant native flowers and a few berrying shrubs. They may be a mall acts, but multiply them across a street, a neighbourhood, a country, and you've built a living network no nature reserve could match. #WildlifePhotography #Hedgehog 🦔 🎦 Credit: Unknown (DM for credit).

Nico Williams es campeón del mundo. Y tras la premiación, va directo a la tribuna a entregarle la medalla a su madre. Ella, que en 1994 salió de Ghana y cruzó parte del Sahara para poder llegar a España en busca de nuevas oportunidades. Una campeona más.
