25 years ago, people across Ireland held their breath and voted for peace
None of it has been easy so keep the people in Ireland in your thoughts for lasting peace
Seamus Heaney steals the show for this one...
History says, don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

Women can't go to male doctors, but they can't train to be doctors either. There is a point in which the international community have to do something. The greatest women's right crisis of our time. No woman is free until we are all free.
Breaking News: Taliban issued a new ruling in Balkh province, Afghanistan, stating that women are not allowed to visit male doctors !!
And, no education to women as well, so no female doctors either !!

Wow!
@BBCNews found a woman whose daughter’s outpt appointment was cancelled today.
They clearly thought she would be anti the nurses strikes.
Instead she gave the most intelligent and empassioned argument for decent pay for nurses I have heard yet.
Bravo!

New study by @baltrusz @JKSteinberger @dr_anneowen @librand3 @JouniPaavola and me (yey!) linking energy use and well-being, living well within limits and excess energy. Thanks @CarbonBrief and @Josh_Gabbatiss for covering it!
UK energy use is incredibly unequal.
The top 10% of earners use more energy *on flights* than the bottom 20% use in a year.
Their holidays and business trips burn through all the energy the poorest fifth use for power, heating, fuelling cars etc.

@BristolCouncil @beardedjourno @MarvinJRees @BBCBristol @David_on_a_bike How on EARTH are folk meant to get round the M32 safely on foot or bike? This is every time it rains. It’s completely unacceptable, and yet, here we are. Accepting it. Our reward for active travel.

this flooding seems to get worse each time. It's almost impassable by bike as people lay down items to try to walk across it. It's no good for anyone! Please @BristolCouncil can you start works on it. There must be something you can do!

Yesterday there was a terrorist attack on British soil, a literal suicide bombing. You would hardly know because the intended victims are not treated as part of our communities. And then they were rehoused at Manston - a site already notorious for violating human rights.

In the UK nearly 60% of car journeys are under 5 miles. For millions of these journeys there's a better tool for the job.
For our health, for the climate, for less costly travel, for short journeys, #BikeIsBest

Anybody want a peanut!?
Scientists at Stanford University have reconstructed this 3D model of how Joseph, the husband of Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ might have looked.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a @sketchfab 3D rendering of the actor Andre the Giant.
The unsupported claim is that the image is from Stanford researchers and represents the Biblical Joseph, husband of Mary.

Many of us working with Asylum seeking children were hoping that the new PM may bring some respite from the oppressive regimes of Patel and Braverman that have literally tortured the victims of Trafficking. Braverman coming back is a fresh declaration of war on the innocents ! – at Yate, England

The “official” line regarding #EvinPrison fire is that it started in the sewing room. No explanation why the fire was in different parts of the prison as reported. Plus fact there’s video of shots & rockets fired AT the prison from outside. Work needs to be done on their lies.

“Refugee” is a 1980 sculpture in the grounds of Bristol Cathedral by Czechoslovakian artist Naomi Blake (1924-2018). The piece suggests kindness and compassion for desperate people. Blake survived imprisonment at Auschwitz but most of her family perished there.
