Congratulations to the 4 Green MPs, but the system is clearly broken. Nature barely got mentioned in the election campaign despite it being an existential crisis & 80,000 people marching through London. #ElectionResults #ExtinctionRebellion #RestoreNatureNow

If Starmer doesn't pivot again and implement some radical progressive system changing policies that engage & empower communities, then in 5 year's time we could be facing a Tory/Reform populist fascist hybrid gaining power. #ElectionResults #CitizensAssemblies

I've long known the UK political system is bullshit but even I'm surprised that Labour's landslide victory under Starmer has been won with about HALF A MILLION FEWER VOTES than their 2019 "worst ever" defeat under Corbyn. #MakeVotesMatter #ElectionResults

Did you know that if you have enough money you can get what is effectively a private law to keep people away from your property? It's what fossil fuel companies do so that environmental activists face harsh sentences if they protest at their sites. #JustStopOil

Keir Starmer made a pact with the devil to become prime minister but any commitment he makes he has to break.

Most saw reason and ran away when given the chance, but one of the big ones ran right towards me and I had nowhere to escape to so we had to have a fight. I felt like Sam Gamgee.

Have been tackling dozens of spiders including my least favourite giant house spiders in order to sort out the back yard into more of a garden. I've been disturbing as little as possible because I don't like to evict them for multiple reasons, but some of them had to go.

Under this legislation "key national infrastructure" includes every road. So for example planning a Pride march or any other peaceful protest down a street, without permission from the police, is now a crime. The Tories took away our right to protest and Starmer isn't planning to give it back.

Just planning a protest that's even slightly disruptive and that isn't approved by the police can now get you arrested in the UK. #Fascism #PoliceState #JustStopOil

To keep within earth system planetary boundaries & achieve genuine sustainability we probably need global production to be cut roughly in half. But we also need to make sure there’s sufficient redistribution so that the majority of people can have an improved standard of living while that happens.

I'm pretty sure those losses from business as usual are a massive underestimate. Even the idea of measuring it in terms of GDP makes no sense when the consequences could be civilisation collapse from global famines and resource wars.

Loads I want to do right now but can't really settle as I'm expecting a call from my doctor at some point this morning. Nothing serious but don't want to miss it or I'll have to call back to arrange another call some other time. Not a fan of expecting something but not knowing when.

There's a spider living just outside my window that I would really like a sparrow to eat before the end of the summer and it decides to come inside.

I'm old enough that I've started thinking about my age more in terms of counting down towards the inevitable, even though I don't know when that will be. Got to make the most of what remains. 😘

Even media that did report downplayed it as "thousands" rather than tens of thousands. Our political system is so resistant change & I think the media dividing protests into those they can ignore, and those they can demonise, is a big part of that. It's why I think mass civil disobedience is needed.

Stretch of the legs, a wee, and a hot chocolate from the services. Now no more stops till home. It's a longer day, but much more comfortable and enjoyable going to an action by a shared coach with other environmentalists than on a crowded train. It took a lot of organising, but worth it. 😊

‘Go for the fossil fuel execs, go for the polluters.’ They have and they do. My social media was full, just a short time ago, of an incredibly brave young woman telling investors in the most powerful terms exactly what she thought of their decision to press ahead with the Rosebank oil field.

The massive granite stones that have stood for 5,000 years have been terribly damaged by a bit of orange corn-starch, but don't worry, nothing bad will happen to us or our cultural heritage as we continue to drive our life-sustaining earth systems into collapse. #Stonehenge #JustStopOil

Woke up at 4am. Decided to watch the sunrise down by the river. Bats still flitting around while the birds sing and the city sleeps.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖

It's always been obvious that these "not cutting down trees" carbon credit schemes are a bullshit capitalist accounting trick that do nothing but justify increased carbon emissions, but I didn't realise they had descended into corruption and criminality even on their own terms. Not surprised though.

Brilliant work by #AnimalRising activists uncovering the terrible and widespread abuse of animals in industrialised farms even where the RSPCA have assured they meet welfare standards. Industrialised animal agriculture must end.

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?" That's where I decided to change career by studying environmental science, got depressed about what I was learning, and joined the rebellion of mass civil disobedience against the government hoping to force a democratic revolution for a sustainable future.

They've also said the previous blood tests are enough to recommend I stay permanently on a gluten free diet. I'm going to stay on it while I try the anxiety meds to avoid confusion between variables. But realistically if it still makes no difference to my day-to-day life, I'm not going to continue.

Doctor is putting me on anxiety meds for #LongCovid. I'm not particularly anxious at the moment, though I've always had a bit more anxiety than I'd have liked. But there's literally nothing they can do for the physical symptoms so it's a vague hope that calming my nerves might improve things.

This was unfair. People are fine and doing their best. I was just feeling stressed and frustrated to be unable to do more myself struggling with long covid. Have now had a bad night's sleep but at least somewhat rested, and a busy day ahead.

Working with people who can't follow instructions, but also can't figure things out for themselves, and constantly ask to be told what to do. I've written it down already. Read it and do what it says. I will happily clarify any point, but you'd better be able to quote the bit you don't understand.

Needless to say my relaxing walk out in the local park that we've been rewilding was not as relaxing as I'd hoped. Luckily I've been able to return them for a refund easily enough.
