Hi #EarlyModern Bluesky - did you know that someone brilliant has built working printing presses using Lego and they are trying to get enough supporters so that Lego will release it as a kit?

I've been saying for years that to deal with climate change and biodiversity loss we will need a peopled landscape. Here is an excellent argument for enlightened agriculture over 'rewilding'.

Itโ€™s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.

This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

"None of this was in Labour's manifesto...
By removing trial by jury, Keir Starmer & David Lammy are abolishing the ultimate guarantee of independence in our criminal justice system, placing extraordinary, unprecedented and untrammelled power into the hands of whichever politicians come after them."

A Nigerian Prayer: May We Wake One by One A very Nigerian prayer โ€“ May we wake, before it is too late.

โ€˜May we wake one by one.โ€™ This is how we sometimes say 'good night' in Nigeria. It is a greeting and a prayer against a sudden disaster that wakes us all at once. โ€˜May we wake one by one.โ€™

A couple of weeks ago I opted for a partial hospitalization program due to struggles with depression. I didn't really think it would help, but I was pretty desperate. I'm glad to have been wrong, and I wanted to pass it along. If you need help, it does exist and you should go get it.

It with great sadness that we read the GirlGuides are continuing to discriminate against transgender children despite the offer by the @goodlawproject.org to defend them in any legal case. It is painfully apparent now they have used threats against them by the GCIM as an excuse to allow exclusion.

Ever dreamt of owning a bookshop?

A place where the local community comes to hang out, chat, read a book?

Maybe have a tea or coffee or someething a little stronger?

A place for the arts to flourish?

Spanish PM Sรกnchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
