Devastated to hear reports from friends that far right posters (racist slogans, anti immigration hate) have popped up around Shirehampton and Avonmouth, Bristol
Hate propaganda has no place in our lives, none of us should have to live with this, especially for our BAME communities who are targeted

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

I just found a long-lost trello board for my unfulfilled ambition to become a kelp farmer in Scotland.
I think I was mostly attracted to the idea that I could call my company 'Cee Weed'.

I notice myself often feeling resistant to the acronym-filled skills of DBT, even if I recognise their usefulness. I found this write-up of the intellectual underpinnings of DBT and how it relates to Marsha Linehan's life fascinating.

This summer brought an abundance of butterflies and birds. Nature is ready to spring back – if we let it | Patrick Barkham
The recent hopeful surge of some wildlife isn’t down to us. But in an era of climatic decline, it shows the resilience of our fellow species, says Guardian nature writer Patrick Barkham
