Somebody just asked me if I live off being a published poet...

In ponds, pools and rivers, Stay Belows feel the cooling, notice the littering of acorns and leaves upon the surface. We feel the first chill as desire for gloves, hug of sweater. They feel it as a hunger. An instinct for one final feast before taking to the mud for the long sleep of winter.

Israel getting control of a large part of the Gaza strip as part of a 'deal' is like the Simpsons kids saying 'stop, he's already dead'. I imagine Ukraine are deeply concerned right now.

Little postcard prints are in my shop now

New podcast. Remembering the legendary and irreplaceable Manchán Magan who died last week. And revisiting our first chat where he told me his life story. ❤️ open.spotify.com/episode/1BxM...

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract. The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

I should probably advertise more often. You can buy prints from me, commission pictures, make 3d models, animation, come up with excellent ideas, all sorts. tell your mates. cheers.

If you ask me to give one defining aspect of the character of Hooklanders, it would be their refusal to have their sense of awe diminished. They refuse to be disenchanted. Modernity is no barrier to their sense of encroaching otherworlds. Even in suburbia, they maintain wonder. – Dr. M. Benn

This is the first party political broadcast in a very long time that understands the trouble we’re in. Great job @zackpolanski.bsky.social 💚 youtu.be/qxt4HCjd7VA

I have been feeling utterly spent. My head feels burnt out like a blown fuse. To recover, I am sealing the door on communicating for a little while. Conversations are hanging like smoking kippers. I'm having a holiday from the comfort of my bedroom. #Neurodivergent #burnout

My heart is always happier when my feet – unsteady as they are – take their first few steps into the wood. For the woodland path curves to mystery, curves towards the possibility of feral strangeness. Each visit replenishes my store of wonder, whispers new stories. – #CLNolan,

A *sleep safe* episode to take you to bed with the sound of summer in your ears. Episode 138 - Ocean peace above Folkestone beach (31 mins) Rising thermals, from far below, carry up the ocean's murmurings. The sound of a cricket merges with the waves. > bit.ly/LenFolk2

Took a shortcut home from a cat sitting job #E17 #Walthamstow

Monday is off to the most wonderful start! I'm looking after this elderly ginger boy for the week. He is mischievous & playful. Proving that play is important at every age. #catsitting

Listen back to this weeks podcast where I chat to Catherine Connolly about all the damage neoliberalism has done to Ireland open.spotify.com/episode/1GVC...

I will be spending this coming week looking after a toothless, elderly cat. I will be posting content. I can't wait.

I've woken up in warrior mode again. Just told someone to feck off. Oops.

I just smashed myself in the face with my laptop. You'd think that'd be difficult to do. I'm here to tell you it's not.

Death is the quell to what we knew

Neoliberalism I wish I were thousands of falling leaves. Giving myself back to the earth. No longer a consumer. I am soil. Filled with nutrients. Put to good use. @happimess73.bsky.social
