If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

I take no leave of you, 2025. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

"If you go back a million minutes, get to the start of 2023. If you go back a billion minutes, you get to the Roman Empire. That's the scale of inequality we're living with." Zack Polanski

Such a brilliant illustration.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

A small road sign on a National Trust property that reads "all traffic" with an arrow pointed to the left. A sheep stands underneath the sign, seeming to be wanting to go to the right in the opposite direction of the sign.
