Friend in the broadest sense, activist, green socialist, striving for a fairer world. Gardener between gardens though not for much longer hopefully. Love dogs - of course! I forgot to add puffins - they're rather wonderful, too.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El NiΓ±o

Time required for a 1C increase in global average temperature

1970 - 2008 average rise 0.18C per decade = 55 years

2015 - 2024 average rise 0.27C pd = 37 years

New study - last 10+ years - average rise 0.35 pd = 28 years

BP’s new boss will take home at least Β£11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor Meg O’Neill will be first woman to serve as CEO of 117-year-oil firm when joining from Woodside Energy in April

BP’s new CEO to take home Β£11.7m this year, more than double her predecessor.

Daily pay > annual median pay of UK employee.

CEO pay at one company is a benchmark for another. Others will want more.

Govts, BOE, CBI and other neoliberals talk about wage inflation, but silence on fat-cattery.

Today is Ida Gray’s birthday. She was born March 4, 1867.
Ida was orphaned experiencing the loss of both parents.

During her career as a dentist, she opened practices and offices in Cincinnati and Chicago.

Remember that Ida was the first Black American to become a dentist in the United States.

If you think we are living in a wild west world, this is nothing compared to what #climate breakdown is set to bring

Nasty little wars, even nastier big wars, biblical migration, civil strife, plummeting food supplies and clean water availability, and ever more extreme weather

All coming to you...

An original artwork of a song thrush, created using watercolour paints on 5x7" watercolour paper.

In Scottish folklore, the song thrush is a positive omen, representing joy, hope, and the arrival of spring. Known for its, loud, melodic song, it is often regarded as a herald of light, contrasting with the dark winter months.

A speckled European Starling is not too thrilled about this snow storm. Its feathers shine purples and blues. Its beak is long and bright yellow. Snowflakes rest on its head.

Dear President Trump

Thank you very much for your kind offer of a Hospital Boat.

Actually, we don’t really need one at the moment as we have Universal Healthcare here.

Please could you send it to this address:

Offshore Gaza City
Palestine

We think they probably need it more than we do.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Greenland
