Now of course I'm feeling sick and anxious and generally like I want to not be here any more. It started out as a good day.

One aspect of brexit that has been too little remarked is how it has taken rights away from ordinary people, but left the rich pretty much as they were.

Young, adventurous ,working-class people, used to be able to broaden their minds and life experience by work, travel and study on the Continent. Brexit has made this difficult and, moreover, expensive. No problem if your parents are filthy rich - pretty insurmountable if they're not.

It's a tragedy for all young, working-class Brits - most of whom voted against brexit - but especially Scots, whose parents also voted against it.

A lot of #climatescientists I know either sympathize with peaceful disruptive #climateactivism
or take direct action themselves for good reasons:
- Climate activists hear the science.
- Their peaceful protests appeal to the democratic structures of power in our society.
- They essentially call for very concrete actions that are achievable now.

One should actually see an opportunity for a change in these protests instead of repressing them.

I made 4 more in my series of related prints about leafcutter bees, each unique. Similar to the print in the pollinator garden, but the prints in my shop are on lovely Japanese washi paper & feature different plants. These prints are both about, & a sort of collaboration with leaf cutter bees! These small, but multifarious native bees are important …
