On Waterfall Wednesday we're sharing this view of Thornton Force along the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail. The River Twiss drops 14 metres off a cliff of limestone that was laid down over 350 million years ago.

One of the most accessible waterfalls in the National Park is Cotter Force. This is a beautiful, secluded waterfall, and the path to the falls is suitable for pushchairs and wheelchair users.

Next time you visit York, take note of this carving of a plague doctor outside York Minster Cathedral. It was recently carved out of magnesian limestone to replace figures eroded by time, as part of the ongoing restoration of the East Front. I love this little fellow.

Repost for the morning crowd - be careful if you are a coop or smile bank customer. Their safety team were unaware and baffled.
Heads up that someone is successfully spoofing the Cooperative Bank's number for text alerts - will show up in the same thread you've had genuine conversations with the bank, super convincing. Basically; never click on a link in a text, always call. :/

Only 30% of pall care is NHS funded.

Given today's vote, will Keir Starmer at least commit to dramatically increasing palliative care provision so that patients don't "choose" to end their lives because we, society, fail to give them the care that might make life worth living?

This is a map of Los Angeles. The arrow points to a red dot. That red dot (roughly) represents the protest area seen on TV.

To me, the gross mischaracterization of what’s happening in Los Angeles looks like an excuse to deploy the military—to protect government assets like ICE.

Pretty, but perilously poisonous... the foxglove is our #Medieval Herb Garden Volunteers' plant of the week 🪻

But, just where does the name 'foxglove' come from? 🦊🧤

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

If I’m quiet when you meet me, don’t automatically assume I don’t like you. I’m an introvert, and I need time to open up to new people.

Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong!

We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science

In 2000 the community of Hawes created a mosaic walk - a circular route around the town with 20 mosaics to find. The walk begins @DalesMuseum and finishes in front of the millennium window in the south aisle of St Margaret's Church 👇

Liz Truss was PM for just 49 days but her name will go down in history as a verb to describe both creating an economic crisis and killing an eldery and respected leader. Impressive.

Shut down the youth clubs.
Sell off the playing fields.
Put up "no ball games" signs.
Make public places hostile to teenagers.
