At this 3rd anniversary of the start of the pandemic I’d like to thank the scientists, health and social care workers, and essential front line workers who saved millions. Many literally owe you their lives. It’s rare that I ask this but please consider reblog/boost to spread gratitude. I will never forget or forgive those who spread anti-science ignorant disinformation. Usually for financial and/or political objectives. And it continues. Vigilance is still needed. Greetings from Switzerland.

A big thanks for the warm welcome to Mastodon! I’ll be posting more of my favourite images of the #ScottishHighlands over the next few days. This is one of my more popular photos - sunrise over Loch Avon in the Cairngorms.

Over on some other bear pit, there's been a lot of talk today about tipping in restaurants and how confusing it is. I'd like to see it end altogether.Menu prices would rise but I'd know that what I see is what I'm paying and that the people serving me are being paid a decent wage and aren't dependent on tips. it requires a lot of cultural and admin changes, but it works in Japan, France and Australia so there's no reason it couldn't work here. What do you think?

The system of service charges is crass, inefficient and demeaning. Let’s end it

Any 18-84 year olds who don't have a passport or photo driving licence, and who are rightly worried about being disenfranchised by the Westminster neo-fascists, should head over to citizencard.com where they can get a photo ID card approved for voter ID, free. Use FREEVOTERID at the checkout.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman said on Wednesday that the Just Stop Oil M25 disruption was "a threat to our way of life".
She and the Govt need to wake up and realise that it’s Climate Change that is THE threat to our way of life
