BBC: Kids exposed to social media posts about violence and suicide. “A BBC investigation has found young teenagers are being exposed to content about weapons, bullying, murder and suicide soon after joining social media platforms.

🌱Es ist Freitag. Klimafreitag.

Einer der effizientesten Wege, wie du klimafreundlicher leben kannst, ist, dich pflanzenbasiert zu ernähren. Aber wie fängst du damit an?

Wie wäre es, wenn du dich einfach mal durch die vegane Küche durchprobierst? Wahrscheinlich stellst du fest, dass es deutlich leckerer und abwechslungsreicher schmeckt, als du es dir vorgestellt hast.

Den Start kannst du dir leicht machen, indem du einfach mal schaust, was es heute in deiner Mensa oder Kantine gibt. Vielleicht eine vegane Wurst zur Linsensuppe oder asiatisches Wokgemüse?

Die Chancen stehen gut, dass du direkt heute ein veganes Essen probieren kannst. Denn in immer mehr Mensen und Kantinen gibt es täglich vegane Optionen. Und die schmecken meist richtig gut! 😋 Manchmal sind sie sogar günstiger als mit Fleisch; gesund und klimafreundlich sowieso.

📍Du arbeitest im Homeoffice oder hast gar keine Kantine im Betrieb?
Dann schau dich mal um, welche Uni-Mensen oder öffentlichen Kantinen Gäste willkommen heißen – bestimmt gibt es auch welche in deiner Stadt.

👉 Mehr Ideen gibt es in unserem neuen Artikel: „Heute mal vegan essen in Mensa oder Kantine“: my-friday.org/klimaschritte/he…

Was hast du schon Veganes in der #Mensa oder #Kantine probiert? Und war es lecker oder ist noch Luft nach oben? Erzähl uns gerne davon!

As Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue his military assault in Gaza, anti-war sentiment is growing in Israel.

“Those who believe in war, they are naive, because they have been failing again and again and again,” says Israeli peace activist Maoz Inon, who has been advocating for a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories. His parents, Bilha and Yakovi, were among those killed on October 7.

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed or are missing after intense Israeli airstrikes targeted residential areas in northern Gaza, including Jabalia and Beit Lahia.

Entire families have been buried under rubble as civil defense teams work under extreme conditions with limited equipment.

In central Gaza, heavy bombardment continues. Residents report non-stop attacks, creating widespread panic and destruction.

The UK is in talks with other countries to set up overseas “return hubs” for asylum seekers who have exhausted the legal process, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said on his first official visit to Albania. Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer MP told the Huffington Post:

Mere months after rightly denouncing the last government’s failed Rwanda scheme as a gimmick and a waste of taxpayer money, Starmer is now looking for his own knock off version. Instead of wasting more taxpayer money trying to look tough, it’s time Starmer got a grip of the real driving force behind smuggling gangs: the fact that for most people who might need and be eligible to seek asylum in the UK, there is simply no safe and managed way to do so.

Funny how I'm now sitting here, basically becoming more unable to sell my drawings than ever before and feel like such a failure - at least the mug fits

Another #bouldering session today. Thanks to tape and bandage the finger & elbow situation is slowly getting better despite being back on the wall. Still doing my best to avoid crimps though.

All in all I'm happy with the session. There's still a project there that I'd love to finish, but as it is most likely the reason for my current tendon issues I'm currently not touching it.

On the night of 16 May (from 00.00 on 16 May), the enemy attacked #Ukraine with 112 UAVs

As of 09.00, 73 Shahed attack UAVs have been confirmed downed

36 enemy imitator drones were lost in the area (without negative consequences).

Odesa, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv and Kyiv regions suffered from the enemy attack.

STREET ART UTOPIA

Kindergarten children dropped seeds in the crack of the sidewalk to see what would happen

In a world inundated with technology and digital distractions, it’s easy to lose sight of the simplicity and charm of nature.

A recent guerrilla gardening experiment by kindergarten children reminds us of nature’s resilience and its ability to flourish in the most improbable spaces.

The children did an experiment in guerrilla gardening by dropping seeds into sidewalk cracks and observing the results. At first glance, it might have appeared to be a fruitless endeavor – what could possibly grow in such a confined, unlikely environment? However, as time passed, a miraculous transformation unfolded.

Nature prevailed

Against all odds, the seeds sprouted and grew, piercing the concrete and reaching skyward. The children were captivated and delighted by the spectacle, learning a valuable lesson about perseverance and the astounding tenacity of nature.

This unassuming experiment highlights the significance of nature in our lives. We often take it for granted, but nature envelops us, even in the most unexpected locations. It possesses the power to inspire, heal, and remind us of the astonishing beauty and wonder of the world we inhabit.

It demonstrates the potency of curiosity and experimentation. The children participating in this guerrilla gardening experiment were merely intrigued by the potential outcome of dropping seeds into sidewalk cracks. They didn’t know what to anticipate but were willing to explore and observe. Consequently, they acquired essential knowledge about the power of experimentation and the thrill of discovery.

---

Nature is everything

Amid our hectic lifestyles, it’s all too easy to overlook the marvels of nature and the influence of curiosity and experimentation. Yet, the simple act of sowing seeds in sidewalk cracks serves as a compelling reminder of the enchantment that permeates our everyday existence.

So, when you find yourself feeling swamped or stressed, take a moment to reconnect with nature. Be it a stroll in the park, a hike through the woods, or merely pausing to admire a flower or a tree, nature offers a gentle reminder of life’s true priorities.

Who knows? You might even be inspired to embark on your own guerrilla gardening experiment and uncover the wonders nature holds in store for you.
