Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.
Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.
And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.
Thank you Zack. 💪

Kenya and Pupy move differently—and it’s not just personality. 🐘 African #elephants have a unique gait and walk with more pressure on their outer toes. It’s one of the subtle ways they differ from their Asian cousins. Read more: globalelephants.org/elefact-frid...
We've been granted a permissions hearing at the High Court for our legal challenge against Angela Raynor's assertion that the Planning & Infrastructure Bill 'will not reduce environmental protections', which we say was both untrue & unlawful.

We need ice for a livable planet
Bright layer of snow which reflects around 85% of incoming solar radiation back out to space.
The opposite occurs in the open ocean. As the darkest natural surface on the planet, the ocean absorbs 90% of solar radiation.

A photo of a poster, which reads "Not in our name: Women in support of the Trans+ community. We are a collective of women from every corner of society - who reject completely and categorically - the active discrimination and exclusion of trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people."
I've signed the @nionwomen.bsky.social 'Not In Our Name' open letter. We are cis women in support of the trans community and we are clear: those who continue to target this minority group do not speak for us or represent our interests. www.change.org/p/not-in-our...
Why has racism increased massively in the last 10 years?
It is simple, it has risen with fascism.
The fascists need to keep you distracted and blaming your worsening conditions as they steal everything on someone else.
Racism is the easiest option.
Motherfucking wind farms…

You know a Brit’s really mad when they beg your pardon, then suggest something may have escaped your attention, before apologising for being close to losing their patience. Upon reaching boiling point, there’s a chance they’ll issue the killer blow of offering you their regards.
Why do you think we have homelessness and hunger?
Go on think about it.
That's Hari in the background just hours after his arrival at our Elephant Hospital. The poor boy is scared and injured.
His caregiver is getting to know him and winning his trust. And yes, the bell will be removed soon.
These were the chains removed from Hari. Notice the brutal spiked chains that were around his back legs.
Hey, did you meet the new guy? That's Hari! We saved him last week in a dramatic, intense rescue. #elephantrescue #beggingelephants

Did u know?Some pollinators we know less about than others. This amber & black beauty is a Rose Sawfly. Sawflies aren't flies,but are related to bees, wasps & ants.They're approx 600 species in the UK & 1000's,world wide. The adults feed on nectar & pollen,making them excellent pollinators. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🪲🌍🐜🐝
BREAKING 🚨: Rosebank’s owner Equinor just announced £4.8 Billion in profit from the past 3 months.
Equinor makes billions, year after year, from keeping us hooked on oil & gas and wrecking the climate.
Did u know? Ladybirds are wonderful! Not only do they eat aphids, so control their numbers,without the need for pesticides. As an added bonus, when they travel from flower to flower looking for food, they carry pollen on hairs on the underside of their abdomen & pollinate flowers as they go. 🌍🌱🇬🇧🌱🪲🐞🌍
Saw those stupid gadgets in B&Q, attitudes really need to change if we have to give nature a chance.
Did u know? We need to make space for wildflowers(weeds)in our gardens.They've developed longstanding relationships with their partner pollinators over the millennia & should be celebrated for it - like towering Common Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium). Its lacy flowers are loved by Hoverflies.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲
Here’s a handy guide to identifying Bees which you may see around your garden if you’re lucky enough to have one, or if you have a window box with flowers in #thegardenjungle #bees #insects #garden #nature
Hello, little cinnabar moth caterpillar friends. It's lovely to see you at last!
“Right-wing populist” ❌
“Classically right-wing”❌
“Hard right.” ❌
Both Reform UK and Nigel Farage comfortably fit within the definition of the term “far-right”, and we must not shy away it.👇

Poster with two Amazon boxes sitting on top of yellow crime scene tape. Text of poster says: Boycott Amazon Crime Day July 8 - 11 Logos of General Strike U.S. and 50501 #BetterThanAmazon
We are honoring #AmazonCrimeDay by supporting a movement to boycott it.
Amazon’s profits are built on worker injuries, union busting, and surveillance—and we’re done rewarding their exploitation.
We are #BetterThanAmazon. Let’s stand up to the monopoly and its billionaire founder by stepping away.
🚨It’s another week and another potential scandal for Reform UK, as MP James McMurdock removed the whip from himself over the weekend, ahead of the Sunday Times reporting that two of his companies, said to be effectively dormant, claimed Covid Bounce Back loans to the tune of £70,000.
