Tonight's sunset, the sun just peaking thru, spilling gold over the river.

Grateful for a glimpse of the sun today.

This is what happens when one of the stupidest people in history is in charge of your government.

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

Spring is definitely in the air - despite the snow the other day - as this Pulmonaria angustifolia 'Blue Ensign' shows.🌱

a tan long-haired dachshund with incredibly floofy ears sits with his front paws on a window sill and his nose pressed up against the window. he's accompanied by his stuffed squirrel friend. their reflections stares back at them. Stevie the dachshund does not see the irony in watching for squirrels with his squirrel friend. he's too busy being locked in on the happenings outside his window.

This is Stevie. He's on squirrel watch. His stuffed friend is also a squirrel, but he's one of the good ones. 14/10 (IG: longdogstevie)

SEND reforms to 'strip away' children's legal protections, charity says Planned changes to the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system in England were announced last month.

The war sidelined this from the news, but dissent continues www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An oldie from 2017, another tiny painting. Utilizing the third eye again, a human eye, referencing our connection to nature.

Trump is Russian asset. People can debate whether he’s being blackmailed, paid, or is just a useful idiot. Regardless of his motivation, he works for Putin.

A Reform government will display Union flags on everything, right up until we replace them when we become the 51st state of America.

For five years we have worked hard to fill any gaps with seeds, & we have had plenty of rain, so this year is going to be spectacular

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.

We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.

I’ve not decided when I’ll go yet but I’ve decided that the LA processes are sufficiently slow that I can start that now! Especially when told that it is not my role to advocate for SEND children and parents against the LA - because I work for the LA. Errr no.

Spent most of of day outside battling our very big and very sloped front garden - which was not best served by building. Managed to weed about 1/2- prune things - and then smooth out the membrane and pull about 1/3 of the stone covering back up the slope where we had to walk when building! In bath!

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

State media watch:
The image of Trump saluting - without his baseball hat that you can buy at his website - is falsely labeled as Trump acknowledging the soldiers killed on March 1.
This was not a mistake - its also on the Fox News website.

New Employment Rights Act β€˜a huge boost for women in the workplace’ Government says new rights for parental leave and sick pay will increase equality and economic growth

The Guardian has a positive article about Labour today on the benefits of the Employment Rights Act 2025, much of which comes into force next month.

Please read the article and share it widely, to let the Guardian know this is more the sort of content we want!

I can hardly believe that anyone with a public voice in Higher Education first, thinks this nonsense, and second, that this is the priority issue right now.
