Chop chop. Some of 2025's letters in stone... #Lettercutting

Final sunset of 2025, with reflected tree lights, setting the Tamar on fire... Hope 2026 is kind to us all.

Lots of people have come down to look at the Seal at #FirestoneBay. Someone has lost their own special seal though. He's sitting on the wall by the convent ready to be collected...

10 years gone already. Missed everyday. #LemmyForever #PlayItLoud

Not as fast as the Christmas kingfisher, there's a seal back at the end of the road... Enjoying the sunshine...

Scientists tell us we’re headed for 2C in years, 3C in decades, 4C in our kids’ lifetimes. Insurers tell us our world is becoming uninsurable. Actuaries tell us the economy will collapse & billions will be killed. Corporate-owned politics & media tell us to carry on as normal.

I didn't get a photo, but my best Christmas present yesterday was seeing a Kingfisher - for the first time in my life... A flying gem.

Solstice blessings to all - may the unconquered sun fill your life with light!

A peak surreal moment of my entire career. At the end of a PSHE lesson on sexual harassment, my year 9 class burst into spontaneous applause...

@sandhyagupta.bsky.social Statou

Highly likely you’re going to see some garbage in the following days. “All Muslims wants to kill us”; “the Jews deserved this cuz of Israel” It’s also highly likely that Ahmed al Ahmed was thinking neither of those things when he decided to act. We need more Ahmed al Ahmed’s and less garbage.

Lots of shouting from the scaffolding across the road today...

Moonlight over Plymouth Hoe

So many levels of awesome... 🤘

Whoop whoop it's the sound of da police... #PlymouthSoundStyle

Big shout out to @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social whose recent post introduced me to this Latin tag "Solvitur Ambulando" (it is solved by walking). Anything that wise has to be worth carving in stone. Chunky letters in a chunky beach pebble. #lettercutting

#SundayEvening chilling by the fire with @mollyandflossie.bsky.social (reading Honky Tonk Samurai by the amazing @joerlansdale.bsky.social)

Morning dog walk in 3 panoramas... Glorious day (but far too warm for November!) #Plymouth

Clutch confirmed for the Desertfest line up 2026 (Joining Green Lung & The Sword as headliners). Wow! I think I'm going to have a sore neck after that weekend!

Very sad to hear of the passing of amazing #lettercutter and accidental YouTube star Iuean Rees. youtube.com/watch?v=92C1...

“Irrespective of whether these people were involved in the local drug trade or not, we don’t have the death penalty in Brazil … They should have been arrested…” This is always the point. Human rights are non-negotiable. I hope the world leaders going to Cop do not let this pass unremarked.

Should be interesting... www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

It's that moment again for National Trust members to vote to keep the entryists out. Quick and easy to vote and please do so by 31st of October Quick Vote link keeps the AstroTurfers out. Then share. Thank you. secure.cesvotes.com/V3-3-0/nt25/...

All the rainbows following us round on this morning's dog walk...

Here's the Ronald Reagan ad from Canada that Trump calls "fake."

Just rewatched the final episode of the amazing, beautiful and esoterically aware #Lodge49. Such a great shame that there were only two seasons - particularly with so much unresolved stuff at the end. #Blammo Why do TV execs just pump out such a lot of stupid shit, when drama can be so uplifting?

Bloody brilliant 👇

Done and on the wall... #Motivation #MomentoMori

No University Challenge? WTAF.

This is fucking excellent.

Super impressed with the fact that Mrs J's college friend actually had three questions about her on tonight's University Challenge!

Religion is declining worldwide in a predictable sequence - across generations, participation drops, then importance of religion, and later belonging. This is a broad model for understanding religious change around the world. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Medical publication or Album title? Who knows?

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

It’s remarkable. You can assign current names to her 90 year old pseudonyms.

The joy of year 7 PSHE lessons - "Why do you think I might not have had online friends when I was at school?" "Because you didn't have electricity?" 🤣

Pete Hegseth-a man whom only his mother could love Or, maybe not You are an abuser..that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats” “It’s time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out”

There aren't many kinds of shopping I enjoy, but a morning on Portland gives lots of pleasure (even scoring offcuts).

What a beautiful morning! Lovely running round the Hoe.

happy autumnal equinox! may gorgo, mormo, the thousand faced moon find your sacrifices pleasing!

Now I'm getting conflicting reports about whether the Rapture will be on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, and, look, I know that TECHNICALLY no man knows the hour of His coming and all, but if we could actually pin this down on the schedule it'll help me plan the rest of my week, thanks

I have new slippers from Kazakhstan!

The UK population in 2025 is estimated to be around 70.3 million and there were 100,000 racists prepared to march for Tommy in London. Which is 0.1% of the population. But farage and the news make them sound like they are larger in number. Like bullies.

We need to be very clear about this. Rising Christian nationalism is a threat to us all. humanists.uk/2025/09/17/r...

According to experts on fascism one of the best defences that a country has against fascism is a strong trade union movement. Trade unions unite all workers and fight for better for all of us. Join a union ✊

"Born to Rock 'n' roll" indeed - Asomvel delivered the goods in Exeter last night. Loads of energy, loads of noise, bloody brilliant.

Isn't it #InternationalDogDay every day? Mollybear & Flossie think so!

Mum has been away for a couple of days playing the recorder - do you think we're pleased that she's come home? ♥️🐾
