Is it time that we started fat-shaming unnecessarily large cars? Because it's ludicrous for this trend to continue - quite apart from the dangers, what a waste of materials, space and energy!

The list is nearly 200 people and organizations now, glad to see so many interesting people!!

"Reduce. Reuse. Recycle." is in order of most impact, but society discourages the first 2 and pushes the last bc it's the only one that is compatible with #consumerism and Capitalism.

A shame, since reduction and reuse are drastically more effective and don't perpetuate a system known to cause harm to the world. Really makes a person wonder why 'recycle' is on that list in the first place.

Mused over whether to share this #story, which isn't really mine. But it was shared with me, and it's publicly available, so I think it's okay.

Back in the summer, at this place, Carrawburgh Fort on #HadriansWall, after a day of storytelling nearby, I met a woman. We talked about #stories, and I told her about the nearby Coventina's Well (unmarked and extraordinary, but a different story). I know a good story, she told me. Look it up. The Wild Child of Crackpot Hall. That's my mum, she said. 1/

There's nowt new in archaeological woowoo.

Well worth watching these BBC Horizon programmes from 1999 & 2000 which shredded the same nonsense!!!
