Something about this guy is making me want to cast one in chocolate. After many years this thought has arrived with a lot of force...

Six of the seven dialysis centers in Gaza have been destroyed during the war, the World Health Organization said earlier this year, citing the territory’s Health Ministry.

Oh Bluesky how I want to love you, but despite deleting Twitter from my phone at the start of March I still yearn for the snarkiness (and also the sensible debate). I keep wanting to check back in as it really was the funniest place to keep track of Elon's meltdowns. Where am I going wrong here?

I didn't know it was the 9 year anniversary of the death of my Grandma today, but my cells did. I picked flowers and herbs from the #carparkgarden and put them in a tiny jug that belonged to her. I have cried twice today and I didn't know why, now I do.

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000. Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600. The US must end its complicity. Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Realised that I had been singing 'you're just a furry fluff ball Luna' to the tune of Teenage Dirtbag and now I'm worried that the toxoplasmosis has finally fully hit.

Conscious cruelty: Almost no cases of disability benefit fraud despite DWP crackdown www.bigissue.com/news/social-...?

I made a 10-minute, richly illustrated summary of Margaret Cavendish's Blazing-World (1666), a very early (some say earliest) Science Fiction novel. Please have a look and share if you like it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4zi...

Sometimes I think of the time I created the best cheese riddle ever. Q. Which cheese is made backwards? A. Edam Proudest moment of my 10 year old life coming up with that.

Excerpts from the Franklin Expedition. The last remnants of the HMS Terror docked in Greenland today.

There were a LOT of best views while I was in Norway, but the best view of the Northern Lights was on the plane home, shortly after a woman flung herself across the plane to the seat next to me so she could look. She hadn't seen them 'the whole time she was there' until then & was disappointed I had

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Went to Norway, to Oslo airport, Bodø, Fleinvær, Tromsø and home to the UK via the Aurora. The best view the whole time I was there was from the plane window, above the clouds and the sea. Just crossed the bridge into Cornwall, not long now until I see my cat and start my numerous new plans.

I went for a PIP assessment on a physical disability and was grilled until I was in tears about if I’d ever attempted suicide. I didn’t even mention mental health conditions on my application. But you know, it’s so easy and too many people are getting PIP.

Trying to avoid the news as much as possible but I can't avoid knowing that massive cuts to disability benefits are coming and that terrifies me.

Had a bit of a rubbish day today in terms of pain and brain health. I finally left my cocoon when one of my fellow Arctic Hideaway residents knocked on the door to let me know there was curry and northern lights. The whole sky was glowing green and you could see the wave change shape as it went.

📣 Citizens Advice joined Scope to urge the Chancellor to reconsider potential cuts to disability benefits. Cuts would have a catastrophic impact on disabled people, pushing even more disabled households into poverty. Read our open letter to the Chancellor ⬇️ www.scope.org.uk/campaigns/op...

I arrived at the guesthouse I'm staying in in Bodø, and was pleased to see the stern face of polar explorer Nansen staring at me when I got into my room. I feel that this could potentially be a good omen, or maybe they just come free with every 10 sets of bedsheets you buy.

OPEN CALL for KINections - a professional development project for rurally based emerging artists in Devon and Cornwall. details at www.camp-membership.org/open-call-fo... Deadline March 24th #artscouncilengland #devonandcornwall #contemporaryart #professionaldevelopment #artistopportunity

As the plane touched down in Bodø the captain wished us all a 'Happy International Women's Day', which for some reason made me feel a bit emotional. Might've been the fact I'd been awake for 32 hrs by then. Now in/on a bed in a cute guesthouse trying to decide if I should sleep or carry on...

Likely to be a lot of undiscovered seafarer burials round the coast- research I did on parish registers for places near Chichester Harbour in West Sussex (UK) suggested that it did not become common to give them a church burial until the late 1700s #maritimehistory www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It would seem the lads (who have been using fake ID to tell girls they are older than them) got on the big screen and their mum saw them on tv. One of them also got a girls snap. This reminds me of when I used to tweet on trains.

It's live! ALL profit from sales on our Bandcamp today will be donated to the @southernequality.bsky.social's Trans Youth Emergency Project: bikinikill.bandcamp.com/merch/limite...

He was 32, she was 19.

Oh...they were all in Bath to watch the rugby (England v Italy apparently) The lads are 17/18 the man with 2 wives is in his 50s and his wife is Italian. Fingers crossed they all get off at Swindon.

I forgot about the 'joys' of train travel on a Friday evening- a whole bunch of drunk lads have just got on. So far I've heard 'balls deep', 'he almost got the tip in' and 'I've had two wives I'll let this one go'.

2½ hours into my 22hr journey and I've decided its time to bust out the Opal Fruits.

One of the few things I have already packed is my slippers, I wish I hadn't.

Well, this would've made getting to Bodø a whole lot easier. Thanks Easyjet for only just announcing it.

Beginning to think perhaps I should've done my packing yesterday. Now i'm home, on (not in) my bed and feeling very sleepy. Still have so much to do! I spent so long formatting a folder of travel documents I forgot to print them off. I should probably go and do that now...

Gool Peran Lowen! Happy St Piran's Day to all of our Cornish friends. Check out our books on Cornish archaeology, like Mark Borlase's book, which presents a geophysical analysis of the Camel/Fowey corridor.🏺 Read more here: doi.org/10.30861/978...

I made a post about St. Piran's day and then I closed the app before it had uploaded so now I'm grumpy and don't want to rewrite how he arrived in Cornwall on a millstone, lived to be 200 and died by falling down a well (possibly while drunk).

Slashing billions from welfare will not help people into work or save money, Rachel Reeves warned Campaigners are calling on the government to tax wealth instead of taking money from benefits claimants www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

Just found out it's pancake day. Must leave the house and find an egg.

What going away looks like for me. I don't normally put it all into freezer bags, but after the time I ended up having to ration my tablets for 2 weeks because some had got lost en route I'm being extra careful to make sure I have it all. I've even decanted what I need for travel day & made notes!
