Decision: 5 circuit classical 13ft - exciting #labyrinths #walking

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk I have emailed you about this today - please speak up! This is appalling.

Prisoner 4 Palestine Qesser Zuhrah is at imminent risk of death! I've contacted people at HMP Bronzefield They have 2 doctors with them trying to get an ambulance in to take her to hospital The prison has refused to transfer her Justice Secretary David Lammy you must step in. Show humanity

On my mind right now - 5 circuit classical 13 ft / 5 circuit classical asymmetrical 15ft - not an easy choice! Here's a temporary one I walked at the Winter Solstice 2022, laid out by Tom Bree at Chalice Well, Glastonbury #labyrinths

Congrats @suejohns.bsky.social !

Please like and share - we are hoping to raise awareness of the devastating ecocide and funds to support PENGON - read the blog below for more info. Thanks! #climatesky

Morning all, happy #coffee and sometimes it is better the devil you know #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=tto_...

This is literally going to be the deciding factor for which countries will succeed in the future. Resilience vs climate change (and the secondary challenges it will bring) should be top 10 of every government conversation.

Please make my Christmas and sign this petition! It is so important!

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid. Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊

I came here to post this as I can't believe it doesn't already have 10,000 signatures - please sign and share! So vital and so utterly crazy that this has to be petitioned for. #climatesky

Thanks everyone who has signed and shared this vital petition from @rupertread.bsky.social today - nearly at 6000 signatures but needs another 4000 at least! What say you - will you sign and share? This affects all of us #climatesky

To get the government to respond to our petition calling for a National Climate Resilience Plan, we need 10,000 of you to help us. We are over halfway now! If you haven't already, please sign it and encourage others to do so as well ✒️ 🌍 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

🔥 WE’RE changing the media. Citizen journalism is peer-to-peer news, it’s forging information networks from the grassroots up, sidestepping the top-down mainstream media. An utterly new model. Become a friend of the Bylines Network and stand with us as we build media as it should be. 👇👇

Unseen 7 - The Lore of the Longstone is out now and we have badges and postcards! I’ll pop one in with online orders. This issue of Unseen is all about a wander in search of this Neolithic monument.

Brand new on the blog today - please read and share and see how you might be able to support: "Poets for the Planet are currently setting up an event to raise not just awareness of the underreported ecocide in Gaza, but to raise funds for PENGON" #poetrysky poetsfortheplanet.org.uk/if-there-are...

Necessary reading! #booksky

I took instagram off my phone two days ago and feeling the benefit.

Shocking stuff - glad local people are fighting back. #climatecrisis

Photographer, anthropologist Alegra Ally accompanied the Nenets seasonal migration, to show the lives of indigenous women in the Siberian Arctic #WomensArt

Reminds me of the original darker 12th Century version of the Robin Hood folk tale, 'Evil Robin Hood', where Robin stands in a woodland clearing & announces, "Don't you understand? Asking poor people for permission before I steal from them and ruin their lives would defeat the fun of this for me."

I'm going to keep repeating this strategy until I'm either dead or this war has ended. Whichever comes first. Western leaders (forget Trump) have the power to end Russia's war within months, even weeks, if they apply a shock to Russia's economy. Overnight. Sanctions and trade blocks on everything.

Please sign and share - super important! #climatecrisis

It's possibly 12 but I've been very bad at working it out so maybe more... anyway... it's been great fun and I've got TONNES more on the list!

Until this year I got a covid jab as I have severe chronic asthma AND an immunosuppressed child with a serious chronic illness. Not enough to warrant one any more. HE IS A GRIFTER.

I’m starting to compile a list of all the labyrinths I’ve walked this year and - it’s a lot! I’m also working out a labyrinth walk or two before the end of 2025 and planning more labyrinth visits for 2026. Here’s the beautiful Sourton Labyrinth, from my visit in 2023. #walking

So excited to receive the Winter issue of Bat News from the Bat Conservation Trust (@batconservation.bsky.social) 🦇This copy features a 3 page (!!!) interview where I discuss the unique role poetry can play in increasing public interest in protecting bat species 🦇🦇🦇

Hard to believe that it was as long ago as 2019 that I was re-enacting my deportment lessons. Hymn books on heads at Tiffin Girls' School, where you could still be awarded a posture star in the 80s. This was part of a poetry event at the Rose Theatre in Kingston... "toe/ball/heel!" etc

‘consider not giving presents this holiday season’ 💀

Delighted to be part of a project, Solstice, on the shortlist for this award with some other fab walking art folk!

Feeling pretty poorly right now so it's early to bed but am also celebrating getting through latest 28 page EHCP document without having a meltdown... so here's my Humpday Choon #musicsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3ZZ...

This is why hating and mocking AI relentlessly and publicly is vital work.

The US is down at least $30 billion in tourism for 2025. International boycotts and a loss in appeal to visit due to Donald Trump has resulted in millions of trips canceled.

Thanks for all the excellent responses to this. It might make you smile on this dreich day.

15 years ago today the Tory & Lib Dem government tripled tuition fees. Young people, our economy and society are robbed of the learning and skills universities offer- whilst graduates face average debt of £53,000. Education should be a right, not a privilege. Scrap tuition fees.

Really Sir Keir? "Watering down" protections against torture and inhumane treatment? On #HumanRightsDay?

It turns out he can fall right through to the other side...

Morning all, I need an alternative to Fitbit as they are moving completely over to Google and am done with that...any suggestions much appreciated!

In #winter 2018, Icelandic photographer Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir wanted to show her partner, who was away in the capital, how much it had snowed overnight at their home and posted a photo of herself on FB #womensart

I especially like #3

My friends at Spread The Word are fundraising to run accessible reading and writing activities in Lewisham in London. And during Big Give's #ChristmasChallenge, all donations will be doubled, so if you give £5, they’ll receive £10. Which sounds v cool: bit.ly/boroughoflit...

Most households subject to the two-child limit already have at least one adult in work. Of the minority of households that are not in work, more than nine-in-ten have a child under three or a disabled family member with additional care needs, making any return to the labour market challenging.

The latest reprint of Leonard and Hungry Paul by @ronanhession.bsky.social will be in the warehouse on Wednesday 10th December. Marvelous. @bookcornerhx.bsky.social @booksaremybag.bsky.social
