Dreadful night

This is the old crab apple tree which shades my garden studio. I have often painted it. Here it is in midsummer back in the day during lockdown. The Tree In Summer, St Margarets: watercolour and pencil

'Peonies' by Japanese painter Kiyohara Yukinobu (1643-1682) #WomensArt

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

Nice one. I had never thought about humanism at all before.

Swifts are incredible. We have a big swift box because the do come to the village, but it is the sparrows and the tits colonising it this year.

Chortle!!! 😂

Penelope Keith had the extraordinary ability to poke fun at the cruellest qualities of Englishness, without ever making the material cruel. She created characters who were ludicrous, superior, bigoted, without ever being unlikeable or cold. It is one of the greatest magic tricks an actor can pull.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 it is not impossible, and probably not hard to change the world for the better, if you have a vision and work to share that vision with the people who can deliver it. Fantastic! Now lets get going on cheap clean electric and get rid of transport running on fossil fuels altogether.

The issue w/ self-talk in trauma recovery is not just that it feels better to be nice to ourselves. The issue is, we cannot realistically heal if we are beating the sh*t out of ourselves, because we're too busy defending ourselves against ourselves. It's a very practical problem.

Morning everyone! Let's all have a magnificent Monday 🧡

Can I introduce you to the Leafy Sea Dragon.

This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗 So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old! @55SweetThing #globalmuseum #music #guitar #Stradivarius

I think we just passed oops.

Man i hope techbros can invent some incredible carbon capture technology that self-assembles using only sunlight as an energy source and not only captures CO2 efficiently but also generates oxygen and gives cooling shade in cities. If only we had such miraculous things today!

Thank you, dear Donald Tusk, for hosting the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk, your hometown and the birthplace of the Solidarność movement. In the 1980’s, many doubted that totalitarianism could be defeated. Yet countless Poles refused to surrender their hopes for freedom and democracy.

Just been out for an early run here in Hannover. 25C at 7am but the reason I could go out is the shade - lots of trees here in lovely long avenues. The UK is going to need much more of this. And trees take time to grow, so we’d better start now!

A #poem I wrote about God (and Iceland) was recently published in @wildroofjournal.bsky.social! Here is the full poem. I share more about my process for writing it, including screenshots of my early drafts from my Notes app, in this Substack post: hannaheve.substack.com/p/god-at-geysir #poetry

Today is my last day at Scientific American, which has been sold to LabX media group. For three decades I've led the magazine's coverage of human origins, archaeology, paleontology, animal behavior, ecology, BIRDS. End of an era. Anyway this feels weird to say, but I'm now available for assignments!

I saw this referred to as the Strait of Warm Ooze. Very good.
