Packed house for #TheFoodConversation Summit, starting off with the most important conversation: a panel of citizens talking about their loved experience of a broken food system, chaired by @dan_crossley. @FFC_Commission @FoodEthicsNews
I'm only here to post stories that directly counter the otherwise divisive narratives spreading on this app. I've never wanted to join a Morris group more. #folkagainstracism #quwerasfolk #morrisdancing

Poetry Twitter ngl you're what's keeping me here. Please tell me if you're staying or going in the comments. Let's interact more in our last ditch effort to make this space more relevant and, dammit, beautiful. Pic because moody cormorants are so poetry.
The other thing I need to tell you is that I'm the opening act for @drbramwell's legendary Cult of Water, the performance/book that introduced me to the concept of being nerdy/mystical about waterways. Yes there will be PowerPoint. 5th Sept Brighton. Tix: ticketsource.co.uk/dr-bramwe…
This thread is epic and deserves an unroll, but also a public service announcement that this nerdy wild magic happens in Brighton/Lewes/Shoreham EVERY MONTH courtesy of @drbramwell's #CatalystClub. @kindofsquishy if you ever come to the UK...

The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month.
Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.
Wow gaslighting the victims even now. Don't be that guy who abandons his family for work and feels so sad he must abuse another woman. Better yet, don't be that guy who infiltrates a Stephen Lawrence justice campaign group. theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…
Needed this right now. Not a good day to check out comments sections. I love you all. Even the aholes.

This #OpeningCeremony has everything. Boats. Parkour. Accordians. A woman dressed as a croissant. More boats. Lady Gaga.

TFW you're just calmly addressing an online meeting (@FoodPlacesUK), and into the cafe (@FCBCoffee) walks one of your celeb crushes (@ClaudiaWinkle) because they're filming (#ThePiano @Channel4) at your station (#Brighton) and you never tried to chill out so hard in your life.

Post Office destroys lives, Water companies pollute our rivers, CCRC leaves innocent people to rot in prison, Covid ministers’ incompetence costs thousands of lives but nobody is punished. Stop traffic on M25 & get 5 years in prison.This is brutally unjust theguardian.com/environment/…
Glad to hear you're serious about the prison crisis @ShabanaMahmood as #Justice Secretary. Feels like a perfect day to intervene in the shocking sentencing of @JustStop_Oil activists. History will judge this moment differently than a crown court. @RogerHallamCS21 #WholeTruthFive
It's #FlyingAntDay over here in Newhaven! I've been entertaining parents at the school gate with the orgiastic/polyandristic implications of it all. 🐜🐜🐜🌞🌞🌞 #buglife @Buzz_dont_tweet
Oh I knew this day would come, but I'm still sad. Although my did Dr. Ruth lead a long and colourful life. She first introduced me to the notion of undoing taboos around sex. Rest in peace, Washington Heights' legendary resident. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…
