Their home,we share. In the quiet stretch of Holyhead’s green, Where needles carpet the forest floor, The russet ghosts move through the scene, Safe behind a closing door. Do they feel the weight of every name, On petitions signed to hold the line? Or see the hearts that guard the frame Of ancient trees and towering pine? They leap across the swaying bough, Unaware of the battle we have led; Yet in their peace, we keep our vow To save the woods of Holyhead. . By Hilary Paterson-Jones 📸Hilary Paterson -Jones

This is a pig who spent years confined in a gestation crate. She was left behind when factory farms flooded in Iowa and then rescued by some volunteers. The volunteers took her home and dug her a mud pit. She ignored it. They assumed years of confinement had extinguished her natural instincts. Then they noticed her wandering into the woods on their property. They followed her — and found her rooting in a pile of dirt, digging her own mud pit. The pork industry claims pigs adapt to confinement. They don't. Inside every gestation crate is an animal who still yearns to root, wallow, and just be a pig. This is the tragedy of factory farming. We tried to reduce feeling animals to machines. We failed.

@mch2ly @KirstieMAllsopp Nice idea! Have to admit I'm in two minds about Stonehenge, I can understand that it causes traffic holdups, but on the other hand it is amazing to be able to see something so awe-inspiring so close.

@KirstieMAllsopp The solution to solving everyone slowing down to look at Stonehenge. Plant some trees and block the view.

If this doesn’t make you furious, nothing will. Imagine what could have been done with that money. Anyone who has ever driven down the A303 knew that all that was needed was a cut, and they spent ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE MILLION POUNDS of YOUR money doing eff all!

@babybeginner I'd just be happy to see things in chronological order

When I search a topic I’d like the top stories to be less than a day old. I’d like my for you news feed to be less than 2 days old. I’d like to see the accounts I follow. I’d like the accounts I follow to see me. I’d like not to have to misspell words to make an algo happy.

UK has lost 97% of its wildflower meadows over the past 100 years. Here's one that's been saved and rejuvenated, only to be destroyed by @belfastcc short term thinking. Please sign and share the petition to ask them to think again change.org/p/save-botanic…

Melika Azizi is 18 years old. The regime wants her dead because she isn't afraid of them. ​While the world slept, they raided her home. While they beat her in Lakan Prison, she held her head high. When the judge handed down a death sentence, she didn't beg for her life—she demanded justice for the fallen. ​"How can I stay silent?" she asked. ​We cannot be the ones who stay silent while they try to hang a teenager for her bravery. Silence is a death sentence. Noise is a lifeline. ​ACT NOW: Save this post. Share it. Tag three friends who will help spread her name. We have to make the cost of executing her higher than the cost of letting her go. ​#MelikaAzizi #SaveMelika #StopExecutionsInIran #HumanRights

@AprilHuggett Donated. Please look after yourself.

I’m writing this while I’m still in it. Still stressed. Still exhausted. Still after crying. And I’m still working through the night. I need people to understand what this really looks like. The posts you see do not come from some calm, quiet, comfortable life. They are written in the middle of pressure, fatigue, sickness, grief, and responsibility. I take a photo, I write my story, and I post it. Then I keep working. Because I have to. Because my guys need me. Because I cannot give up. Because if I stop, the consequences are real. Every single day, I make the choice to stay here. And yes, sometimes that choice hurts. I am human. I know I could go home. I know there is a beautiful life waiting for me somewhere else. I know what I am missing. I know what rest could look like. I know what peace could feel like. But I stay. I stay because my boys cannot simply go home. I stay because they do not have the freedoms I have as a foreigner under contract. I stay because love is not a feeling here. Love is duty. Love is sacrifice. Love is showing up again and again, even when you are breaking. Right now, I am doing the work of five or six people in this brigade. Not because I have endless strength. Not because I never fall apart. Not because I am some kind of machine. I do it because I care that much. I do it because I am passionate, because I believe in #Ukraine I am a soldier. Not a volunteer. This is not something I step in and out of when it is convenient or I have the energy. This is my duty. 24/7. I save my vacation because when I finally leave for a little while, I do not want a getaway. I do not want a trip. I do not want sightseeing. I do not want Kyiv. I do not want the Carpathians. I want to go home to #Canada. And until the day I can do that, I work. Every post. Every video. Every message. Every fundraiser. I am on duty. Every four to six weeks, I scrape together a few hours to take care of myself and try to remember what normal feels like. But the truth is that I am tired. And some of what I do might look small from the outside. It might look ordinary. It might even look stupid. It is not. Because if I do not do these things, people will die. And yes, they may die anyway. This is war. There are no guarantees here. There are no perfect endings. There is only the fight to give them a better chance, one more chance, any chance at all. YOU give them that fighting chance. And that is why I am asking you, from the deepest and most exhausted part of me, to help. paypal.com/donate?campaig… I cannot do this alone. I am one person doing the work of five or six people. But with you, I am not alone. With you, thousands of hands help carry this weight. With you, this burden becomes survivable. With you, these men have more than hope, they have support, action, and a chance to make it through. Please do not scroll past this. Please do not assume someone else will step in. Please do not underestimate how much this matters. #Support93

3 protesters, including 19yo Saleh Mohammadi, were hanged today in Iran. Convicted of false charges, tortured into confessing, no lawyers, witnesses, or fair trial. Just totalitarian propaganda, kangaroo courts, & medieval torture. Saleh Mohammadi. Saeid Davoudi. Mehdi Ghasemi.

After planning another short trip not far from Kyiv, I felt that something needed to change. I want to show Ukraine differently. Today, I begin Hidden Ukraine patreon.com/posts/153416979

Day 477 of daily, uninterrupted, nationwide protests in Georgia.

Friends and family, it is getting warmer and you may be tempted to go walking in the beautiful Welsh countryside. So, please be careful where you put your feet because these little fellows have now hatched and may be hiding in the grass and you really do not want to upset their mum or dad.

Mexican senator proposes nationwide ban on octopus farming over animal welfare concerns 👏 By any measure, octopuses are remarkable: they have eight legs, three hearts and blue-green blood and are highly intelligent There is no ethical or moral reason for farming them #KeepThemWild @CIWF_Global globalseafood.org/advocate/mexic…

Friends, 60 and 30 views on posts in an hour 😔😔😔 I don't know what I can do to prevent the algorithm from working against me. It is extremely difficult in the current conditions to close fundraising and generally promote them in any way. Please retweet my posts 🙏🙏 maybe the visibility will be a little better and we will still be able to collect 158$ today to finally collect the first 1000$. I will be infinitely grateful for any of your help! Every bit of your help, whether it's a donation, a retweet or a quote, means a lot to me. Inactivity is killing and depressing me. Thank you 🫡❤️🇺🇦

England is now the only country in Europe that doesn't financially support its farmers to produce food. Surely Trump's conflict in the Middle East and Putin's invasion of Ukraine show how utterly vital our food security is? The Government needs to wake up and back our farmers.

Mono-culture farming devastates the rest of nature. Farmlands continue to lose much of their wildlife, bees, birds, insects, amphibians. But each generation measures "normal" nature against what existed in their childhood; not what existed before. So we don't mourn the Auroch, Quagga, Eastern Elk, or drained wetland. We never knew them. We each inherit a slightly emptier world & call it normal, a shifting baseline syndrome. Humans are remarkably adaptive... dangerously so.
