My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and it’s difficult to see.
He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now he’s struggling to find work.
Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work.

Important new @worldresources.bsky.social research shows that agricultural expansion isn’t only leading to forest loss - it’s leading to loss of grasslands, savannas, & wetlands too.
From 2005-20, the 🌎 lost 95 Mha of non-forest natural ecosystems to annual crops, and another 95 Mha to pasture. 1/
On a whim, rewatching Grease. I humbly submit that Summer Nights is the greatest film musical number ever. The choreography is knockout. Everyone’s singing so well. The song is deceptively clever: Sandy’s romance versus Danny’s macho lad-mag version of the same story. And they’re all so beautiful. 💯
Don’t think it’s him.
And I can remember exactly where I was when I first it. It’s one of those.
I don’t care what anyone says, Cliff’s Carrie is an absolute banger #TOTP
Such a good film. Think I’m going to watch it again too.
Always a thrill to see one of my paintings on someone’s wall. #Art #painting
Some 30,000 people are already thought to have been killed and many more are detained. Families of those sentenced to death are praying for US intervention
The far left cannot abandon antisemitism

In a rational world should we not care about the deaths of all innocents? For if it is just when Jews or the West engage in conflict that people take notice, it offers an invisibility cloak to others carrying out atrocities.

When everything feels uncertain, I look to the rhythms of the land. They teach me to trust what I can’t yet see.
Pause for a moment today. Notice what’s quietly growing around you, and within you.

Wow?!
BBC News homepage has just significantly downgraded the placing of its "Climate" section on its menu bar
Climate is now ranked last, lower than Tech.
Earlier this month "Climate" was ranked above World, UK, US&Canada, Business and Tech
Sir Clive Sinclair in a C5, looking pleased
I liked it better when tech entrepreneurs looked like this.
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. 🕯️ #NeverAgain
Today, we mourn the six million Jews and countless others murdered during the Holocaust.
This International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we recommit ourselves to honoring their memories and standing up to antisemitism and bigotry in all its forms.
I feel exactly the same. I take a very dim view.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
Our tortoise doesn't seem to like Nick Cave's new album. I'm most disappointed in him.
An Employment Tribunal has ruled that the Darlington nurses were unlawfully harassed and discriminated against after being required to share women’s changing rooms with a male colleague.
This case underlines the need for clear guidance — and for trade unions to stand firmly with women members.
Victory for the Darlington nurses in their tribunal case.
From the judgement:

Iranian women and girls, in memory of Mahsa Amini, demand justice, and are burning a photo of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as an act of defiance.
Mahsa's murder by Iran’s morality police sparked Iran's anti-impunity movement “Woman, Life, Freedom.” #3E #IranProtests #womenlifefreedom
Freedom for Iranians.

Free Iran!
The same influencers who coordinated “All Eyes on Gaza” and “All Eyes on Rafah” - along with slick graphics and celebrity amplification - can barely spare a line for the thousands beaten, tortured, executed, disappeared in Iran. The selective empathy is staggering.
