I know I've posted this before, but I think it's so funny, and there will be some who haven't seen it.

Government advice now published states: "During the current drought and heatwave conditions, the Government considers that the supply and subsequent foreseeable use of disposable barbecues poses a significant risk to the public, and the environment, and therefore cannot be considered a safe product. They should not be made available for supply either in store or online at the current time"

A reminder of simple solutions that used to cool down our shops and homes.... #BringBackAwnings

Don't buy these, don't use them. Lives are at stake and do not under any circumstances tell me, "It's ok, I'll be careful"

I had 3-4 weeks off Twitter with autistic burnout recently & my engagement is right down (also due to standing up to a vile group of trolls on here-they reported me lots, restricting my reach). If you see this photo it would be so ace if you could RT it or drop me a quick hello if you have a moment, both of which help an account get back on track. I also hope these little violas ping some floral dopamine in your meat computer & give you a small lift 🌿

One month on, this underlined. The best time to plant tree trees was 30 winters ago. The second best time is this coming winter. If you want cooler streets on hot days (between 5 to 15° cooler in most studies) ask your council to plant street trees and look after them. In the big scheme of things, it’s ridiculously cheap.

We've objected to plans to demolish 68–69 Fenchurch Street. We believe this Edwardian building should be adapted, not demolished. The proposal would harm the character of the Lloyd's Avenue Conservation Area, and alternatives have not been properly explored.

Actress Joan Rice poses by Hammersmith Bridge during a heatwave in 1952 which was also the year of the Great Smog. She was discovered working as a waitress in a London Lyons Corner House. After being crowned "Miss Lyons 1949," she trained at the Rank Organisation’s "charm school”

'St Ives,' (1941) was painted by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham at a time when St Ives in Cornwall was an unlikely hotbed of British modernism.

As front pages go, this one's so beautiful.

هاکنی تا ۸۸ سالگی عمر کرد و تا آخرین لحظه با دست‌های لرزون و لاغر از نقاشی کشیدن دست نکشید. حالا به جای اینکه از رفتنش غوصه بخوریم، تا هنوز بهاره به شکوفه‌ها و درخت‌ها و سبزی‌ها نگاه کنیم شاید دنیا رو به رنگ اون دیدیم.

Shocked to hear David Hockney has died. His huge achievement was to make serious painting look effortless. He carried forward one of the most sustained investigations into vision, space and representation by any post-war artist. British art has lost a giant.

I am very pleased to announce that my bug colour wheel has been accepted into this year’s Royal Academy summer exhibition. This is my sixth time. Have a look it opens on the 16th of June. @royalacademy

Residents and wildlife experts in west London say a recently installed safety net on a TfL depot is trapping and killing wild birds ➡️ bbc.in/493dW5Q

Hahahahah! Just seen this on FB: ---- Have you found yourself in the hideous position of having a Reform councillor? Here’s how you can help your brand new councillor settle into local government properly: email them this week with an actual council problem to solve. Got rubbish piling up? Email them. Bus vanished from existence? Email them. Streetlights dead? Email them. Care package delayed? Email them. Pavement like the Somme? Email them. Send them in by the hundred. Make sure they’re made very clear on what their job is. Being a councillor is not standing in front of the Union flag shouting about dinghies on GB News. It’s reading committee papers at midnight, attending meetings nobody enjoys, holding surgeries in church halls, and dealing with the endlessly glamorous world of drains, social care budgets and recycling disputes. Welcome to local government. The boats are in Kent. The bins are in your ward. The email address for your ward councillor can be found on your local council website as soon as it’s updated. Feel free to copy and paste to share wider.

Dear @BBCNews I notice you've suddenly started using the word 'homicide' in your reports on the BBC app. Stop this nonsense - you and I are British, and I have absolutely no desire to talk more American. It's called murder, and in the UK always has been.

Hi @wessexwater have you seen these photos and issue regarding swallows being blocked from their nesting site? @Stephen47629998 can you tell @wessexwater the address so there is no doubt. And @wessexwater could you remove the mesh so the swallows can get back home?

Very Important Message!! Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood. This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants! Make sure to share this post!
