Running Disco Maypole dancing yesterday at Corfe Castle with my youngest on the decks. We even got in a bit of the nineties ‘On a Ragga Tip’. Happy Beltane. Maximum, silly joy.

To prevent deer from being hit by cars Finland has tried using reflective paint. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/avoid-deer-strikes-finland-painting-deer-antlers-reflective-paint-180949792/) File this under "solutions to modern problems that summon the old gods."

Stone Club, April 14th stoneclub.rocks/events

Just 10 tickets left…

My biggest frustration in terms of rising to this moment is: people obviously do not understand that there's a whole psyop strategy around DEMORALIZATION. I do not necessarily think that every doomcryer is insincere, but to steal hope is still to hand our enemies weapons.

Poet in Residence wanted for the National Memorial Arboretum for two years to use the Arboretum's landscape and memorials for a series of original poems to share stories with brand new audiences. Details in link. Please share :) www.thenma.org.uk/about-us/wor...

@megalithic.bsky.social The Merry Maidens near Lamorna in Penwith, Land’s End Penninsula today. Was very lovely (as ever).

Beautiful warm hug of a programme on Radio 3 about the Penwith Standing Stones and Barbara Hepworth by @stoneclub.bsky.social ‘s Matt Shaw and Lally Macbeth www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I’m terribly excited to be actually part of a STONE CLUB event @thesociallondon.bsky.social on the 14/4/25

The ever brilliant @anjanakhatwa.bsky.social on telly this evening - the puddle’o’sewerage in Watford was particularly horrifying. I’ve absolutely loved this series on @channel4tv.bsky.social - this Mysteries series has been perfect Sunday night telly.

I just switched on @channel4tv.bsky.social and there was my brilliant friend @anjanakhatwa.bsky.social! On a fascinating documentary on sinkholes.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

More bothersome nonsense from some anti trans voices - it astounds that, when there is so much abuse and femicide by cis men, it has been decided trans people are the threat - it feels like the madness of McCarthyism

Found Blue Peter annual from my birth year today (December 1978). On flicking through the pages I genuinely feel quite seen.

Oh my god! Review of Monstrosities Mon Amour by Jude Rogers in the Observer tomorrow! www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Extraordinary @theipaper piece: Ofwat has fined water companies a total of...£2 since 2021 for breaching regulations. “Failure to regulate has contributed to catastrophic underinvestment in our sewage infrastructure & destruction of our rivers." (Nick Measham) Damn right. inews.co.uk/news/water-c...

Over the festive season you may mix with extended family members with some extreme views you find repulsive. A reminder that you don’t have to go into battle with that person (I stopped myself today), but that you can (prob more usefully) donate to places like @refugeecouncil.bsky.social instead.

Absolutely fantastic new podcast from @grindrod.bsky.social full of enthusiasm and joy for those conventionally unloved places…

Lovely to be at the opening of @lornarees.bsky.social exhibition The Art of Ear Trumpet at Christchurch’s Red House Museum. Celebrating 10 years of this wonderful show, the exhibition runs until end of Jan 2025.

I’m still kinda giggling about it, but also am incredibly honoured to have *my own girl guides badge in Outdoor Arts*. Named after me and everything. We’re gonna do cloud-gazing and feminist activism. www.girlguidingsouthwest.org.uk/about-us/amb... Woggle on friends.

I want to see this film SO much (I have a feeling it couldn’t be more up my street) www.undiscoveredcountryfilm.com

This. 1st December, World AIDS day.

Our second ever #Foxstrut was such a brilliant event!! www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/2476226...

Our #Foxstrut is on the BBC news - it’s a small action really in the face of so much misogyny and homophobia in the world, but direction of travel suddenly feels like it’s *everything* www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#foxstrut on Friday 29/11/24 in Bournemouth - gather at 6pm Horseshoe Common, strut at 18:30. We’re wearing orange/ears/whatever. Would that we all felt as confident as the urban fox outside at nighttime… Reclaim these dark streets for women and folk from the LGBTQ+ community.

It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows. (1/n)

It’s this time of year again, Christmas lights are being switched on… these pics are from one of my more surreal gigs a couple of years ago in my hometown - and happily I’m still the Ivy Queen of Christchurch…

Great to chair the post show discussion this eve for Dorsetborn’s FORT at a chilly but atmospheric Palace Court Theatre this eve. Full on Wessex work. More about them here: www.instagram.com/dorset_born?...

I don’t quite know why this incisive political commentary on inheritance tax made me laugh quite so much today… but it really, really did #archers

I’m co-chair of Outdoor Arts UK, an Arts Council England sector support organisation. For me, outdoor work is one of the most exciting and democratic places to make art. We’ve got our brilliant conference coming up in February... outdoorartsuk.org #artscouncilengland

We’re front page of our local paper today - I’m one of the creators of Fox Strut - a walk for women and LGBTQ+ folk to reclaim the night - it’s on the 29th November in Bournemouth - #foxstrut

Good morning. Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

New social space. I'm in! I make outdoor theatre performance and installation about earth science... with a bit of feminist and environmental activism on the side. I tour Nationally and Internationally, um, and I dress up quite a lot. Anyway, hello lovely folk. Nice to meet you.
