I'm trying like hell to get The Wolf That Chews Rocks onto the shelves at Waterstones. But bookshops need to know there's demand. Could you do me a huge favour? Ask your local Waterstones if they'll stock it. It's a little thing that could make a massive difference to me. Thank you. ❤️

It's that time of the year again when the @nationaltrust.org.uk membership elects new Council members. It's vital that all NT members use their vote (online) to keep the Restore Trust Reform-adjacent entryists off the Council & away from any decision making. Vote online by 30th October - Friday.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Impartiality does NOT mean giving equal weight to science/facts/reality on the one hand and right-wing populist culture war BS on the other. Every section referenced actually DID give pros and cons, and difficult choices. The MoS ignored that and pretended it was one-sided.

I’m not quite old enough to have known about this at the time but even after so long, every single time it’s raised it makes me feel simultaneously very upset and utterly fucking furious. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Grouse moors are still being burnt - and it's killing us. Guest blog by @bobberzins.bsky.social raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/10/23/g...

These greater horseshoe bats have two things on their minds at this time of year. Fattening up for winter and mating. Have fitted some with radiotags today to get insights into where they are going for both! @batconservation.bsky.social

May I refer you to Arkell v. Pressdram? Private Eye is 65. To celebrate, we’re taking a peek behind the curtain to explain where some of the Eye’s lore, columns, and in-jokes originate from.

Old photo: if Maggie Thatcher had got her way, this would have been - at best - a disused monument to our engineering heritage. Happily, Ribblehead Viaduct (strictly speaking, Batty Moss viaduct) and the Settle and Carlisle line remain important parts of our working transport infrastructure...

A huge thank you to the 28,000 people who stood up for this natural treasure and demanded that it be protected. Other vital and priceless landscapes like Coul Links deserve the same. So tap the link to find out more about how you can take action 💚 brnw.ch/21x6zFO

Post mortems suggest five Hen Harrier chicks found dead in nest on grouse moor in northern England had injuries consistent with being stabbed. New blog (warning - contains distressing info) ⬇️ #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/10/16/p...

Truly horrific reading.

An absolutely brutal supercut for Trump. On February 1, 2023: "If I were president, I'd be able to negotiate an end to this horrible and rapidly escalating war in 24 hours" Today: "I think it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine"

TRUTH

Started a fundraising for the care of the seals of the Zeehondencentrum in Lauwersoog.m. See link for more info. Thanks. gofund.me/e043ac473

I missed this because I was making things without the use of AI. But it's a good shout. Get on board.

Love this thread!

My dad fought in the war and he wasn't a racist. My late mother was a teenager and dedicated her life to helping refugees. My cousin is in her 80s and "fucking hates racists". You don't get a get out of racist jail free card simply for being old and having happened to have lived during a war.

Folks, I know it’s easy to get excited about all the polls showing Democrats ahead and feel like this election is a done deal. But we can’t take anything for granted. That’s why I’m urging you to take part in a No Kings early voting event today where you live. https://www.nokings.org/

In case you forgot what a U.S. president beloved by the world looks like. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 Live in Manchester: An Evening with President Barack Obama. The arena holds up to 23,500 people with standing room, and the event was SOLD OUT.

Put more clearly - an arrogant incompetent old man picked an arrogant incompetent woman for her looks and her extremist views and she proved utterly incapable of delivering. That's how the US is being run right now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today in Oxford! Come join the fun to celebrate our diverse city and show the far right they're not welcome here.

I spent this week helping translocate some animals you have probably never heard of: Vodjvodina Blind Mole-Rats. There are fewer than 1,000 left: ploughing destroys their habitat. They are not moles, not rats, but are blind! They live 20+ years and need your help! gofund.me/ce3134007. Pls share.

I was lucky to recieve a free copy of this and loved it so much I bought a hard copy when it came out. If you love dogs, buy it. It's brilliant and heartwarming and lovely. If you hate dogs, also buy it. It might convince you that you're right! Lol

Appalling but unsurprising

We’ve been busy building new bat towers in Wales as part of our #LandscapeforLessers project. These include a maternity tower, satellite tower and a NightHaven night roost to provide the rare lesser horseshoe bat with more spaces for shelter, for breeding and for resting during foraging flights.

Some of the numbers are sickening e.g.'Farmland bird populations have decreased by 63% since 1970 and 12% since 2020.' @sussexornitholo.bsky.social @sussexwildlife.bsky.social #birds #UKwildlife

READ THIS: The man who was the commanding general of Fort Hood when Nidal Hasan went on his shooting rampage, and who signed the actual death warrant authorizing Hasan's execution, is absolutely opposed to televising the firing squad. He speaks eloquently for himself here.

So, finally, a PM who admits there **was** Russian interference in the Brexit Referendum — after all the evidence amassed by myself @carolecadwalla.bsky.social @lukeharding1968.bsky.social Sergei Cristo, J Patrick et al — dismissed as conspiracy for ten long years Truth is the daughter of Time

Never forget these two delivered Brexit. They screwed the country, they crippled the economy, they made people poorer, they gave people funds to their mates and they are still free. They should be in prison.
