Help Amanda & her family whose home in Finglas was petrol bombed on New Year's Eve. Her mother was in intensive care for 3 days and is still in hospital (06/01/26). They've lost absolutely everything and are now homeless. Fuck whoever did this. chuffed.org/project/help...

I hope 2026 brings us closer together in some less-frazzled way. I lovvvvveeeeeeee the idea of sending you all scans and then you can print them off and make your own little book to keep and work from and print off again if you ever need a new chapter.

obligatory selfpromo post - Read BEEWITCHED ZINES, where I share my zines in the quest to help you slow life down with intentional, tactile art-making.🌱🌱 I've been REALLY BAD at growing it, so if you could even just share this message you'll have my deep gratitude jessicamaybury.substack.com

Today feels like softness, as if I’m standing out there in the thickly falling, silent snow.

in my completely unasked for opinion on Greenland etc: ultimately the EU could just bang some troops from different countries in there, so an attack on Greenland would suddenly be way more complicated than whatshisname thought

can I mute Trump on this thing

Good morning! Guess who got to the office in under an hour! When it usually takes at least an hour and a half! Spoiler: it’s me. All hail the snow gods! (I'm in Belgium) Here’s me with my non-winter tires, I’ll be a Tokyo drift champion by the end of the week

what a time to be alive

Happy New Year everyone! My NYE's plans involved inviting some friends over and opening the mysterious door in our new house for the first time. It was lots of fun and we certainly didn't unleash or get replaced by anything. Here's to a new year of definitely not being possessed!

Many don't realize that the most vulnerable or immune compromised depend on the rest getting vaccinated properly to keep diseases from spreading out of control. It's not just “my body, my choice” when it comes to saving lives.

My daughter’s cat hates our other cat, and will sometimes sit watching him sleep from behind my office door

The first Full Wolf Moon of the new year and it's a beauty! 🌕🤍

So….where the hell are the Venezuelan president and his wife do you think

happy new years from a green dog! hope everyone has a lovely 2026! [ #furry #furryart #art ]

Peppa, in fact, isn’t doing so well at all

The Peppa pig balloon continues to haunt the halls

We were having a rest, and I was lying down, when I felt something in my left ear. I picked it out and suddenly I felt a stinging. I'd disturbed a bee that had crawled into my ear. On the beach, I found a ring.

Today I can't walk or sit but it was great.

People are never haunted in a one room apartment

Here we go... Look out for the full video of me as my character, Cleaveskull, coming soon. Please repost this with wild abandon, and pre-order the book. Paperback pre-orders should be along before too long.

A few of writers met up back in Nottingham in 2015. That was the first time I met Wombie. @lisashambrook.bsky.social @alexbrightsmith.bsky.social @wheneverfrenetic.bsky.social @sorchaodowd.bsky.social (of those I know are here on Bluesky) #SundayPixWombie #SundayPixWombat #SundayPixWombat37

Every country is expected to submit new climate targets before #COP30 in Brazil. Previously, most targets were vague on the energy transition or left renewables out. But that is finally changing. Our new analysis shows a clear shift towards including renewables👇

We're putting the super-rich in the spotlight. Launched today at #COP29, this new report lays out why the richest people in the world must pay what they owe – to help fix the climate crisis AND much more 💰 It's time to #TaxTheirBillions. Read the dossier ➡ bit.ly/taxtheirbillionsdossier

Investing in #ClimateAction is good for the planet—it creates stability, security, and peace. See how UNEP is working with partners in helping countries integrate climate solutions with resilience and security efforts: www.unep.org/topics/disas... #UNGA

More than 50 boats, carrying activists from 44 nations, are sailing together toward Gaza—the largest civilian flotilla in modern history. A united stand against the illegal siege, bringing hope and solidarity to the Palestinian people. (Palestine Online)

This is, honestly, utterly disgusting. BP pivoting significantly away from renewables back to fossil fuels. These people need to be taken to account! How many execs were in that boardroom, who were they and how can we send them hate mail. www.perplexity.ai/page/bp-comm...

ughhhh I'm gonna have to shut this account down and start a new one because I can't access the email anymore to login. how annoying!

WELCOME TO RATHKILL ISLAND. Featuring local news and weather; a local, (admittedly creepy), craft corner; ghastly, mysterious creatures; unexplained folk horror happenings...and super-fun updates about the upcoming island festival that will 💯 boost tourism! Yay! rathkill.substack.com/welcome

One of my fav Indian publishers who put out my fav cryptozoology and folk horror book of all time is teeing up a new banger www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

LONELY WATER (1973): Legendary child-frightener, and one of the most influential and effective PIFs ever made. Donald Pleasence's voice helped lower the number of child deaths by drowning and opened the door to the scary, deadly PIFs of the 70s & 80s. A folk horror film condensed into 90 seconds.

Everything’s totally normal on Rathkill Island! Here’s a report from the lunar eclipse picnic last night! rathkill.substack.com/p/picnic-ecl...

What unsettling revelations await you on the remote, fog-shrouded island of Rathkill? Come, to the cold Atlantic waters beyond Ireland’s rugged coast, and find out. And remember: RATHKILL: YOU COME HERE, YOU STAY HERE. rathkill.substack.com/p/coming-soon

just got duped by a fan-made pacific rim 3 ad and my palms started sweating

UPDATE: when Mesolithic people roamed this now-drowned landscape, they should have been able to see a 2-mile-wide crater - and this seems to be the cause of it: www.theguardian.com/science/2025... Wow! (Hat-tip to @mytholder.bsky.social).

The best option for enlightened people in the UK is to support the Green Party and @zackpolanski.bsky.social This infighting at “Their Party” which was supposed to be “Our Party” shows there is no internal awareness of what it means to be a collective working for our collective rights.

opens rusty creaking hinge door to Bluesky. IS THIS THING ON

Eclipse Picnic Fun 📸 I just got a nice account of the lunar eclipse picnic on Rathkill Island off of Ireland's Rugged West Coast where everything is 💯 normal. Here’s a cozy little snippet: open.substack.com/pub/rathkill... dream readers: @nualaoconnor.bsky.social & @juliepritchard.bsky.social

This is the hardest season I’ve ever had as a beekeeper. The Asian hornets just keep coming and coming. I have 4 traps out there. My bees wont leave their hives. I just don’t know what to do anymore. It feels hopeless. I’m doing everything I can, and it’s not enough. I can’t protect them.

I 🧡 how the AI places are trying so hard to push dictation as a valid way to get words down on the page when the words it gives you are…….

I’m reading through my book manuscript here and man, I shouldn’t say this, but it’s so great
