Brilliant 🤩 🎉🎉😂😂

My new podcast "Burn Order" is about the decision to incarcerate tens of thousands of Japanese-American families during World War II, and the remarkable fight against it. 6 episodes in total -- Eps. 1 and 2 are posted now. 3 and 4 will post tomorrow, December 8: podcasts.apple.com/me/podcast/r...

Having a cup of tea before we start the day at #HebdenBridge #OpenStudios Here today until 5pm 😁

I am picking up traction. Not double figures yet. Mr Trump has not picked up any reposts yet. So there's that. I shall ask one of my characters for an endorsement. DEATH looked surprised. "Well, you have given me far less business than Trump" WAR grunted. "Love Trump & drones" The Pale horse farted.

I feel I should be awarded the inaugural Bluesy peace prize. I have not killed anyone or started any wars. Ever. This puts me streets ahead of yesterday's FIFA Peace Prize winner. I also try to be nice. Funny too. Helpful. If this starts trending I will start shopping for a nice tuxedo & bow tie.

Back at #HebdenBridge #OpenStudios today & tomorrow 😁 Working on a hat to match the scarf I’ve done 😁

All set for Hebden Bridge Open Studios this weekend at The Making Mill Lots of gift ideas so please call by and say hello 😁

An excellent read. Time to be authentic 😁

So many memories in the corridors of my mind. The people and times left behind. Every old song opens doors of nostalgic thoughts. The way my heart hears them, the way my soul aches when the lyrics puncture my skin sending goosebumps up my spine, bringing back all of those times.

that can make even moderately normal comments feel aggressive. Every time a Ukrainian person online masters enough courage to open up, please show support, because enemies will show no mercy.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

This afternoon’s work - coasters for my SumUp shop 😁

Taking away trials by jury can’t sort out these kinds of problems 👇🏻

On World AIDS Day I'd like to share this Wikipedia article I wrote about a time that the US government was actually pretty awesome about AIDS, back in 1988. With the Trump administration's refusal to acknowledge the day, it's astonishing to look at how far we've regressed since the 80s.

😂👏

Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend! 🤩 The world’s oldest known sculpture of a horse! This tiny figurine was carved from mammoth ivory by an Ice Age artist some 40,000 years ago! 📷 by me #Archaeology

Them: What are your hobbies? Me: I love coming home and being home and sitting inside my home and staying home.

Beautiful reminder that we must remember and respect each other’s traditions.

Every week in the UK, around 125 people die by suicide. Behind every number is a name, a story, and people left carrying heartbreak. We need braver, kinder conversations, because silence helps no one 💔 #DaddyBlackbird #SuicideAwareness #MentalHealth #EndTheStigma

A busy active region on the Sun is currently rotating into Earth's view, producing two moderate solar flares as it arrives over the solar horizon. (This region was previously visible two weeks ago, where it produced a number of strong flares!) #spaceweather

If you're in Glasgow this Friday afternoon, I'm giving a talk. It's free and all are welcome: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-talk-by-...

It’s grey & wet in #kirkcudbright so this afternoon I’ve been bringing in some colour 😁 Sets of mug mats coming along nicely 👍🏻

#sunset at Sandgreen beach, #scotland 🩷

The last lot of seaglass pendents and fairy lights sold out really quickly. Have been busy making more and Etsy shop now restocked. All made with seaglass from #Shetland beaches Thanks so much for the support for our wee business ❤️

Living my best life 😁

Ukraine is on the brink of an historic betrayal by Trump to Putin. Keir Starmer must bring our European allies together to back Zelensky, starting by seizing frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

I’m opening my studio in #kirkcudbright this weekend so it seems like the perfect time to reorganise 😂 The 🐶 is sitting on the sofa wondering if I’ve gone mad 😂

Pissed off/fired up women Climate change disproportionately affects women by increasing their burden for securing food and water, making them more vulnerable to violence. Heat harms reproductive health. Women bear the brunt of dwindling resources. #fiberart #pissedoff #quiltsky #women #climate

How the Right Uses “Gender Ideology” to Blame Trans People for Everything “The same extinction panic animates TERFs and Republican politicians alike. Both claim trans people pose an eliminationist threat, endangering not just women’s physical safety, but womanhood as we know it.”

Karen Attiah said it best: "[Trump] could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi. But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile. Every time this [admin] hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open. Cretin behavior." 🤬

Scotland DIDN'T Vote for Brexit.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Back at the beach 😁💙 Home!

Seems like a good day to post this... #Refugees #Asylum

The Danger After Trump Why The Hate Machine Won't Let Go open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

New Epstein emails are out. This isn’t politics—it’s a moral test. You either stand against predators, or you defend them because they hate who you hate. There’s no middle ground left. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

A beautiful sight on this morning’s walk 💚

The BBC needs a board. But it should not define editorial matters. Select a citizen's assembly of 299 randomly selected people, let them take expert evidence, and make choices driven by the public. Like a jury would. It works for trials. Why not for sensitive areas like media impartiality?

Trying to capture the my Mercury Blue hair colour. Instead I’ve highlighted my beautiful crone wrinkles 😁
