Grrr. 'The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse'. Bots are so busy trying to correct my grammar that I lost entire words.

I feel called out. I am the mole (click through for context). A page from 'Always Remember', the second #book of The Boy, The Mole and The Horse, by Charlie Mackey. I love these books. I recognise the Northumberland countryside in the gorgeous illustration, and I love the affirming calligraphy text.

Larkin is such a distinguished gentleman. #whiskerswednesday #cat #tabbycat

Genuine advert by UK coach holiday business, Leger today. I see you Leger.

Town buses are community. I am proud of ours. Seeing passengers all cooperating to find family, contacts and help for the vulnerable, inebriated, person adrift in the cold at the bus stop was reassuring. Most people are good. Our community cares. #community #publictransport

Noticed that The Guardian is one of the few pubs that will cover stories like this? Trump in his own words – the year in racism & misogyny ▶ Trump has increased the amount of invective he’s spewed against women & people of color

New Year's Eve. A good day for a walk. #beachlife #walk #sea #myphotos

This was once J2 fanfic, right? I mean surely? Especially as it also has some similarly named side characters. I'm not one for romantic fluff books usually, but it read like fic too, and it was dedicated to a cat named Lily. It was a fun light read. #books #cat

🐈 Step into tomorrow at your own pace. 🐈

We were supposed to host 15 people today but 11 has the flu so all plans are cancelled. But I’m so very lucky to never worry about where my next meal will come from. Many aren’t so fortunate. #HCWvsHunger Donate to your favorite anti hunger organization and join us! HCWvsHunger.org

I volunteer here, and it always improves my mood. It has innovative menus, good company and reduces food waste. It gets hungry bellies full again, no questions, no shame. It's welcoming to ALL, except the likes of Nigel Farage. Please give a little if you can. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/northern-s...?

C for the eye candy or F for the banter.

And so it begins. I'm ridiculously excited for this renovation. I may be freezing cold and without a toilet for a few hours/ days, but I'm thankful for a landlady who is dragging my home (and water system) from 1970s into present day. Heating to be installed after this. Yay! #thankful #bathroom

Ruby will go to any lengths to snuggle with Larkin. Larkin has just worked out that the lump under the covers, he's been cuddling into, is, in fact, Ruby. He is offended and would like me to know that a boundary has been crossed. #whiskerswednesday #cat #tabbycat

Endless horizons and rugged beauty. Captured on a journey through the wild landscapes. 🚗✨ #photography #landscape #nature #roadtrip #travel #adventure #explore #Nikon #SeattlePhotographer #wilderness

I feel like we could all do with a little good news, a small real, miracle that happened with one of our local rescues.. Not AI, absolutely real. How often does a stray goldfish get rescued from the street just in the nick of time? #animalrescue #goldfish

#Samhain blessings and #HappyHalloween from me to you. May you have peace, more treats than tricks and all the spooky, sexy fic you can read. #spn Yes, I did decorate the house and put on a noisy, spooky playlist all evening, just to hand out treats.

They say it’s about affordability, but instead of asking the super-rich to pay their fair share, they’re targeting ordinary working people again.

ErinReed 11 Jun 25 -- A survey of 84k trans ppl -- the largest ever -- found of those who detransitioned, 94% did so due to social discrimination & rejection. Just 4% of them (0.36% of the total) detransitioned because they were not trans. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

🏳️‍🌈 Edinburgh Pride

Edinburgh showed up for PRIDE, so did my daughter and I. It was way bigger than my pictures can depict. So happy that we made it, we had a great afternoon together. The stage show looked good, but an enclosed crowd is a bit too much for me. #pride #edinbughpride #pride2025 #edinburgh

Storm brewing

🤷🏾‍♂️

I keep thinking about how so many global conflicts boil down to one thing: White people don't know how leave people alone. That's it.

Look at all of the media, see it from all angles. See Western media and then look for other media, see, listen and remember that AI can create pretty much anything now. I beg of everyone to get a balanced perspective. How you judge it, is personal, but judge from an informed position.

Jared and Gen at the end of their panel at #dutchcomiccon

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Just take an deep breathe and watch me wash my fasce

Well, the weather is wild right now. The lightning has been constant for hours now, and a third or fourth storm is rolling in hard. I hope ships are all safely in harbour.

My view every day when Rogue heard me wake! Two teeny tiny meows (he never learned a proper meow), then biscuits and purring. Five minutes settled on my chest getting ALL the attention, then he'd get up and pull my arm gently with his mouth, to tell me it was breakfast time. #cat #Rogue #exferal

Here is one more timeline cleanse, of 7 Bryant Park last night. A Pei Cobb Freed building designed by Henry Cobb on the southwest corner of 6th and 40th, its hourglass curvature provides beautiful Bryant Park views. It’s a vertical so tap for full size.

Rogue's gone. His body started to shut down after six months of determined, happy survival. I am grateful to my vet for coming out and being so loving with him. It was a gentle death for my gentle soul. He was in sunshine, in the garden, then in my arms. He was worth it. #RIP #cat #exferal

We had 10x as many people at Birmingham Pride last night as Trump did at his Parade That Could Have Been An Email. We also had free candy, necklaces, hot emo twinks, gorgeous ladies in drag, great music, and endless happy dancing kids seeing that no matter who they love, they too will be loved.

We have tiny floofs on the opposite roof. It's poor numbers this year, they are close to the edge and people are cruel to our seagulls, despite them being protected. The protection has no teeth. My heart is anxious for them. Please send them good vibes. #herringgulls #birds #redlist #fluffy

“Compassion constitutes a radical form of criticism, for it announces that the hurt is to be taken seriously, that the hurt is not to be accepted as normal and natural but is an abnormal and unacceptable condition for humanness.” Walter Brueggemann

Tens of thousands of Portlanders marched across the Willamette River this afternoon in a show of numbers aimed at opposing President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign and mocking his birthday celebration.

🧵 No Kings protest at Bellingham is huge. Peaceful demonstration. Minimal interference from BPD. There are speakers, and I started crying when a folk singer whose name I didn't catch had the whole crowd singing, "There are no kings in America." Some high points: 1/?

Some nostalgia from the Borders Vintage and Classic rally last week. Over a thousand cars in the rally, and every one is pristine or in progress to becoming pristine. #classiccars

The Denver “No Kings” demonstration is 95-year-old Dolores Taylor’s first protest. Seeing other people her age at the protest gives her hope, she said. “We’re here, coming out against the Trump administration, because this is not the American way,” she said. 📸@brumerdelilah.bsky.social

Sacramento, California. Where we fight to win!

An INCREDIBLE showing for the NO KINGS rally in Woodland Hills, CA—a suburb in the valley of Los Angeles. A quick report from on the ground.

Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .

Lots of honking. No Kings Berkeley #NoKings #NoKingsDay
