😡 This corporate polluter is taking Ukraine to court. It’s outrageous. 😡
AMIC Energy is taking Ukraine to court after being sanctioned for its Russia links. Outrageously, the Austrian government has publicly supported the company at a recent press conference in Kyiv.

Iran captain Ehsan Hajsafi:
“Before anything else, I would like to express my condolences to all of the bereaved families in Iran. They should know that we are with them, we support them and we sympathise with them."
Incredibly brave. Solidarity with the Iranian people’s revolution. #IranRevolution #iran #democracy #protest #activism #freedom #solidarity #hope
Watching Groundhog Day for about the three hundredth time and thought hey why not post another photo from #Manchester, so this is the Town hall extension.
Just a reminder how expensive US #healthcare is.
https://data.oecd.org/chart/60Tt
Every year since 1990 the proportion of GDP spent on public (and after the #ACA #obamacare compulsory) healthcare was higher in the US than the UK with universal coverage.
#UniversalHealthcare is cost effective
Just noticed I am cited in a paper (on how to escape from a simulation if we’re in one) that I wrote about yesterday

Hi fellow 🇬🇧 British Europeans. Looking for new mastadon accounts of our favourite pro-European, pro rights, pro values, pro living wage anti tory commentators. Any suggestions? Please reply.
Some to get you started:

Every day I log into Mastodon, see new people, see some epic photography, read some wild stories, and in every way I feel more comfortable and at home than I ever did on the (soon to be dead as a 🦤) bird site.
So to all involved in mastodon, from conception, to you the community of users and contributors I thank you all for having me as part of this epic community 💜
@jerry there is a fake DefMon3 account on your server.
It's linked from the fake Twitter "backup" that the real DefMon3 has reported. See the genuine account's tweet on this

After 10 years on the bird site I'm happy to be here in the Fediverse. Most of my interactions there were about #UKPolitics, but here I hope to spend more time talking about my other interests too.
8 years ago I started a daily #PhotoBlog, published on Blipfoto and my own web site. I mainly photograph things with wings - #insects in spring and summer and #birds in winter - but I'm now also getting into autumn #fungi.
Other interests: #music, #art, #history, #archaeology, #books, #dogs.
My most recent blog post, over on Blipfoto:

🚨STALKER EVADING BLOCKS
I blocked this guy the first time (first image). Yesterday he followed me again from another instance & I blocked that. Today he tried AGAIN. Just trying to get the word out but I was having trouble getting images to load
Trump/Musk/moral imperatives
For those still on the bird site, OH noted that since my departure (and I have deleted the app, if not my account) a number of people have misunderstood my decision as being about Trump. It isn’t (he was always blocked). It is about a social network that has become the personal fiefdom of a man so utterly without morals or conscience that he reactivated the account of someone who attempted to seize power by force. I wont contribute to that world. Besides, I like Mastodon better. It is a nicer place. I would encourage people to do the only thing that can hurt Musk. Leave Twitter and move on.
If, like me, you are a sad person who likes #maps - then you might find this National Library of Scotland web site interesting… #ordnancesurvey #map #HistoricalMaps

I'm outraged by this pathetic and inexcusable inability for this country to go after nasal and better, durable, variant-proof vaccines
RT @EricTopol@twitter.com
An explainer for why the US is not pursuing nasal vaccines. TLDR: there is no good explanation

Think the main difference between the two platforms is on Twitter when you make a joke you get one haha and two death threats, whereas on here you get one haha and someone earnestly explaining the 6th century origins of the specific road that particular chicken crossed. Yet to decide which is more distressing.
Gun violence
Terrible news to wake up to about the night club shooting in Colorado Springs 😭😭😭
LGBT+ community likely being attacked just for existing 😞
“Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.”
