“People died who could have been saved. These deaths are facts that cannot be denied. And I will never forget what I saw.” The COVID enquiry shines a light on the abject failure of the UK’s public health response - too little, too late.

We will remember everyone. Everyone who fought, who lived, who died, and every conscientious objector, too. We will remember their sacrifice. We will remember their belief in freedom, and the common humanity that unites us.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this.

School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

She Dares To Claim The Sky. New work. This limited edition seascape art print is available on my website, if you would like to see. The original painting was a watercolour collage. #art #watercolour #watercolor #limitededition #artprint #gicleeprint #seascape #indigo #painting | karinacoghlin.com

The Trump Action Tracker has an update! Main change is to break down the five authoritarian domains into ten - this allows for easier understanding of why actions have been logged and more tools for searching / filtering the now 1621 actions. www.trumpactiontracker.info? 1/2

Hello #Scape day, you've come around quickly! Sharing one of my snowy landscapes as it's been feeling quite cold here lately. #art #landscapepainting #watercolour #landscape #originalart #artforsale #watercolor #minimalistart #snowscene #trees #monochrome #indigo #monochromeart | karinacoghlin.com

This calm, cool decency is dangerously absent from our discourse at the moment. Almost everyone is embracing, normalising or ignoring the 'cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.' We need more Bertrands.

Since when does throwing the dregs of your coffee cup down the drain constitute "polluting land or water". Surely people do that every day at home, so why is it a crime when doing it outside? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is an *incredibly* good idea.

Last weekend, around seven million Americans joined the nationwide “No Kings” protests, calling out Trump. Why does this matter for Scotland? Because US-style Christian nationalism is creeping into our country too, and we all have a duty to call it out. Here are some of our favourite No Kings signs

Ah! Good morning, reality. And welcome. We’ve been expecting you…

In a new interview on the Humanists UK website, author @jamesbloodworth.bsky.social discusses 'redpilled' young men, 'god pills' and born-again 'pickup artists', Andrew Tate, Donald Trump, and the heady world of online misogyny known as the manosphere.

We were deeply saddened to hear of the recent death of renowned primatologist Jane Goodall, but grateful when we heard that, before she died, she had recorded her last words to share with humanity, in collaboration with Netflix. Her final message is one that deeply resonates with humanist beliefs

Sketching random things.. I'm trying to get into the habit of sketching every day. It's very different from my normal style of more abstract painting, but it feels like a good discipline to maintain, plus it's quite good fun. #sketch #sketchbook #pencil #randomeart #art #pencil #rotring #sketching

This really shouldn't even need saying, let alone agitating for. It is a truism more than a proposition.

An approaching storm over The Solent, with the Isle of Wight's "Needles" on the horizon. (A storm's building as I type this!) An ultra-wide Nikon 14mm lens was used to capture the drama of the towering clouds. #scape #storm #clouds #blackandwhite #photography #sea #ocean #isleofwight #seascape

I'm in a bit of creative funk just lately, so digging through some of my previous works for inspiration. Love this colour palette - might be what I do next... #art #painting #watercolour #watercolor #abstract #abstractart #landscape #originalart #artwork #minimalism #gentleart karinacoghlin.com

Got in a bit of a muddle with my post yesterday, giving my #painting the wrong name. Anyway, this one is called 'Waiting' and I love doing these wet-on-wet #landscapes, because you can never be quite sure what is going to happen 🙃 #art #watercolour #watercolor #landscapepainting karinacoghlin.com

Waiting. A gentle landscape in watercolour on thick cotton paper. I am very fond of this painting. I love the colours and I particularly like the shape of the tree 🙂 Tiny things can be very appealing... #watercolour #art #painting #watercolor #landscape #tree #mutedpalette karinacoghlin.com

A pile of prints 🙂 The original paintings were in watercolour and these are now available as limited edition giclee prints, on cotton paper. Hope you have a good week! #gicleeprints #artprints #art #landscape #landscapepainting #seascape #limitededition #scape #pebbles karinacoghlin.com

I mainly paint land and seascapes in watercolour, but also love abstract geometric art. I may revisit this style with screen printing or drypoint soon. These four were done in gouache. #painting #gouache #geometricart #art #minimalistart #minimalist #simplicity #ukartist #bauhaus karinacoghlin.com
