This seems as good an excuse as any for a short thread introducing people to some single moths I've found in my area, looking for fun. 1. Here, for starters, is a Canary-Shouldered Thorn Moth (I didn't make this up).

Success! #horsesofbluesky #horses

Snow in the forecast tomorrow so Beau Jack requested that we carve a path through the paddock snow drift for him. #horsesofbluesky

Beau Jack says hello and also that he’s sick of every day being a snow day! #horses #horsesofbluesky

Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

As I hope you already know, there's a new Springsteen song called "Streets of Minneapolis." I'm going on my fifth listen myself. If it's your first, you may well be saddened but you won't be sorry. youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Bruce Springsteen: “ICE should get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Minka loves to crash through the snow drifts! #snowday #horses #horsesofbluesky

F*ck spotify

Beautiful, beautiful piece - what a love letter to local journalism and gorgeous meditation on the passage of time

Just another icy muzzle day! #horses #horsesofblusky

Congratulations to Joel Plaskett on his appointment to the Order of Nova Scotia. A well deserved honour for one of Canada’s favourite performers. Give his excellent catalogue a listen and catch him live whenever you get the chance! #CanadianMusic #livemusiccanada

Snow day. And yes, the water trough is heated and full! #horsesofbluesky #horses

"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more." Los Campesinos:

Fantastic night of music @horseshoetavern.bsky.social featuring Laney Jones and the Spirits and The Heavy Heavy. Dynamite double bill. Check them out if they come to your town! #supportlivemusic

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

My favourite November pic of Beau Jack and Minka. He loves to pose for the camera. 💕 #horses #horsesofbluesky

Time for this blog’s annual outing - busting some equine myths of the First World War.

They say baseball breaks your heart, and the Blue Jays are a Hall of Fame what if team, now. So what does it mean to watch your team lose the World Series in one of the greatest games ever played? It means you got to feel something; you just didn’t get to choose what. www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...

Almost time to drop the hammer and crack this nut #BlueJays #birds ⚾ #Game7

Spa day for Minka! She was good and tried not to lean too much. The farrier called her Darling…it was a rip-roaring success. 🎉 #horses #horsesofbluesky

Peak leaf season may have passed but there’s still lots to enjoy on a sunny walk. 🍁

Big thanks in advance to anyone sharing this. It's my attempt to help get the book back into the world after my ex-publisher collapsed, putting it out of print for many months, and taking away my earnings from it (& six other books) in the process. Hills, rivers, ghosts, psychedelic music & more.

Caught Beau Jack looking handsome again. 💕 #horses #horsesofbluesky

David Byrne and his amazing collective earned every bit of their rapturous applause last night at #MasseyHall What an artist and what a show! Support #livemusic and catch this tour if you can!

Funkytown in YYZ!

Be nice to insects. They don't hate you. They're just being insects.

Any shares of this for algorithmical purposes much-appreciated. I'd love to get these books out of my spare room & into the world before my new novel comes out. I'll sign them all & I really am happy to let people choose what they pay. (Postage to UK is £4.)

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

The look of an unrepentant horse who managed to get sprayed by a skunk overnight in the paddock. Luckily his fly mask and halter absorbed the worst of it. This could only happen to Beau Jack, aka Mr. Accident Prone! #horsesofbluesky

Many thanks to anyone who chooses to share this. These are the last of the 53000+ books I bought from my ex-publisher Unbound earlier this year, after they stopped paying me and I took my rights back. We have 200-300 left and Jim would love to clear a bit of space in his room (he is very large).

Minka has remembered that it’s #tongueouttuesday #horsesofbluesky

Full monologue here:

Cuteness alert! The new tenant under the cottage has just made an evening appearance. 💕

I’m locking in with Colbert for the next 10 months. Let’s blow up the ratings. Let joy be resistance.

A magical evening last night with @ronsexsmith.bsky.social at Harmony Hall in York Region. What a gem of a venue and a terrific chance to enjoy an intimate night of music with a Canadian treasure. Support live music and buy physical media!
