This article takes *17 paragraphs* to even mention the privatisation of England's water supply, and even then it does so in an equivocal 'some say' fashion - without mentioning, for example, that England is one of the only countries in the world with privatised water. Excrable journalism as usual.

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness

This is an era where it’s really important to know your rights and to make sure others around you know their rights,
NO, ICE cannot enter your home without a *judicial* warrant. Not an administrative one like what they were trying to use with the WI judge to arrest someone.
A judge-signed warrant.
We are supporting the launch of @rahilag.bsky.social and Beatrix Campbell's new book, Planet Patriarchy
The discussion will be followed by a Q&A and is chaired by @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social

Usually, weekends mean listening to jazz music. Yesterday and today, I listened to great jazz guitarists : Pat Metheny, Wes Montgomery, John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Larry Carlton, Larry Coryell, John Abercrombie, etc. And Emily Remler's double live album, released late last year. Superb collection.

The USA stopping support for #contraception and #abortion means that #women across the world will feel the harsh consequences. Many will die - avoidable deaths.

Sending healing thoughts. Went to the launch of latest ARQ album on Sunday. Women playing jazz. It was good as are the previous. Also love the Emily Rembered album, Deidre Cartright and (I have forgotten the second guitarist) reclaiming arrangements by Emily Remner
