Five authors by whom I’ve read at least five books: - Trudi Canavan - Robin Hobb - Terry Pratchett - Armistead Maupin - TJ Klune 💙📚

These are the four original paintings I currently have available.

LIGHTEN THE MOOD - The English are obsessed with potholes - it’s a never ending complaint.

Just AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH! Screaming into the void after a bad day at work.

I made it 7 days. Not seen the show yet but blaming @1t2ls.bsky.social as he posted about enjoying the series. 💙📚

Book 6 of 2026 Seven Recipes For Revolution by @ryanprose.bsky.social A bit of a slow broil but worth sticking with. A brutal world combined with culinary elegance giving a strange dichotomy as we’ve grown used to the sanitised version of food production. Novel magic system & social justice 💙📚🪐

Good to see Scotland playing so well just wish it wasn’t England they were demolishing. #6Nations #Sportsball

Ogden Nash's poem "To My Valentine" was published in the February 15, 1941 issue of The New Yorker. (image from The New Yorker archive) 💌

Just a few crocuses to welcome spring in a few minutes without rain.

Just had to sign into a TV app I’ve not used for ages and it really shouldn’t take 20 mins. All sorted now so channelling my inner homosexual by watching some burly men grapple with each other aka #sportsball Though me signing in did coincide with Wales getting a try so hope I’m not bad luck.

Really need to clear some of my tbr pile before buying new books. We’ll see how long my willpower lasts. 😉 💙📚

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Another unforgettable night in Lofoten, during our recent PhotoPills photography tour.

Book 5 of 2026 Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao Generally found in the YA section but don’t let that deter you. This is a truly powerful novel exploring how patriarchal systems oppress everyone and the lost opportunities when you deny half the population. And rage, lots of rage. 💙📚🪐 🌈📚 🌈🚀💫

Pastel sunset in Antarctica during our recent photo tour with the red sails… Amazing how such a wild place can become peaceful under the right light. #photography #adventure #landscape #nature

Book 4 for 2026 The Penguin Book Of Penguins by Peter & Lisa Fretwell #Penguins are my favourite bird and one of the most popular worldwide. This is a general introduction and not a scientific text but that makes it very readable and accessible. Also clear how humanity has adversely impacted. 📚💙

Looking in the storage closet & found the oldest book I own. Got it in middle school, my English teacher had donated books for us in class to check out. I was so captivated by this book specifically, I always read it in class when I finished my work early. One day she said I could have it. 1/

We’ve come so far - 18x24” acrylic on recycled wood panel. Available.

Just spent the afternoon with my niece and nephew and they were both excited to see me. For my niece in particular that’s really special as she can be very shy and to be greeted by a huge grin really touched me.

This is one of my favourite shots from a recent chilly sunrise shoot in Bushy Park. This alpha stag is still keeping a very close eye on his group of hinds though many of his cohort have abandoned theirs now they have been covered. @theroyalparks.bsky.social #wildlifephotography #naturephotogrpahy

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

Book 3 for 2026 The Mountain Crown by Karin Lowachee. A book in 2 halves with a gradual methodical build up and then jumping a little discordantly through the action sequences and resulting consequences but this mirrors the experience of the protagonist so I can understand the change. 💙📚🪐

Enzymatic structural material (ESM) is a concrete replacement that uses enzymes to convert CO2 into solid mineral particles that are bound together and cured under mild conditions into structural forms within hours. Imagine a world where we sequester carbon with every brick instead of releasing it.

This is quite a post www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/reality-is...

Good morning! The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #Raptor! I am blessed to live in a part of the world with an abundance of Bald Eagles, and since I am a boater, I'm on the river system a lot and see them often. Sometimes they even give me a photo opportunity like this. #birds #photography

I love her!

Book 2 for 2026 Antimatter Blues by @edashtonwriting.bsky.social The sequel to Mickey7 set 2 years afterwards. While the driver of the plot is the continued survival of the colony it raises questions on how you deal with sentient beings with completely different reference points and views. 💙📚🪐

Book 1 for 2026 Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York by Andrew Lownie Not my normal choice of book and one that will definitely strengthen any republican leanings you have. Also shows how much the rich and powerful can protect themselves and consider themselves above the law. 💙📚

My favorite place to be is with you. 💜🏳️‍🌈 #Gay #Queer #QueerArt #GayArt #GayCouple #Art #DigitalArt #ShopSmall #GayMen (1/2) - See Comment to learn about prints.

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Ah, we have a new ship on the shores of Bluesky carrying migrants from the Old Country (Twitter). Welcome. Gaze upon the statue of a well endowed Alf in our harbor and know that you have completed your journey. Now, some tips:
