I wouldn't let them anywhere near the machinery if it were me

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?" Zack Polanski, "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership" "Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

My view isn't the same as the writer's. A young teacher, who has failed badly to teach a class of 30. Scared she might lose her job, she shouts at her pupils. I hope she left the profession - or did what she yelled at the kids to do and improved. share.google/eHI0bX7N6DPO...

The hedgehogs are getting huge ready for hibernation eating a bowl of cat biscuits a night each…they survived the drought thanks to bowls of water I put down. #hedgehogs

Buy miniatures because you love'em, not because they fit a set of rules. Feed your own aesthetic instead of enriching shareholders. (Did I mention we make minis and scenery?)

Sending so many positive vibes to the one boy at the 150+ strong K-Pop Demon Hunters dance workshop I just dropped my daughter off at. He had his Hunter/x t-shirt on, he was as psyched as everyone else. Embracing what you love is always a great look.

View from my window. That’ll do….

At the southern edge of Dorchester (DVRNOVARIA) in #Dorset lies Maumbury Rings, a #Roman amphitheatre, constructed from the remains of a late #Neolithic henge Built around 2400 BC, the henge was older to the Romans than the Romans are to us 🤯 📷 Sept 2025 #RomanSiteSaturday (also #HengeWednesday)

I have no issue with digital ID, but i do have an issue with their reason for introducing it. Pretty much like I have no issue with flags per se but hate the racism.

Pleased to have done my first theatre review for 'Last Night I Dreamt of' www.lastnightidreamtof.co.uk/theatre/midl...

Britain closed entire roads for Trump (and Vance) but this is how the US treats European leaders. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Symmetry at Finsbury Park I'm always on the lookout for symmetrical locations on the London Underground tube map. So I've always been a fan of this platform pedestrian tunnel at Finsbury Park tube station.

Life-Boat Chart of the British Isles, 1935.

I am so glad we talked about misinformation and how bad the mainstream media is for a solid ten years so we could just straight up ignore ourselves

A peek into one of our ante rooms one early morning. There are things of interest around every corner but the evidence chest - older than the Hall itself is always a show stopper.

The stream in the old railway bridge, water runs down the sides of this bridge along Tavistock’s old railway line cycle . All the path is wheelchair accessible, so no getting to a certain point and looking wistfully over an inaccessible gate 🤣. Taken last Thursday. #Devon #autumn #photography

At my talk on the history of cards last week, someone asked what my favourite deck is, (after I said the French-suited 'standard' 52 card deck's popularity was the result of colonialism rather than being the best). I don't have one answer but I have some highlights. I like the Sicilian Ace of Clubs.

Hawthorn tree near Combestone tor last week, #Dartmoor, #Devon #photography

I crocheted Patti Smith’s Horses cover

Lovely thread.

A bit busy in the newsagents - lots of people buying sweets. #dollshouse

Apricot crumble with custard, and a cup of tea. #dollshouse

Autumnal Little Mari with a pumpkin friend

Rainbow and berried hawthorn at Combestone tor yesterday, #Dartmoor, #Devon. I was quite tearful when I saw this piece of beauty, I don’t often see much metrological drama in my hour out a week. When I became ill I never thought I’d take photos like this again. #photography

There is no sentence as bad that it cannot be fixed in editing. Stop worrying about getting the right word down the first time. ​Just. Keep. Writing.

The last hoorah of summer. Hello autumn. 🍂

I thought at first they were shark urinals. Someone should make shark urinals.

I waved at a man in a car this morning and he was just putting his sun shade down. Hehe.

#Dreams I spent hours last night, searching for a dog I’ve never had, with a brother and his wife* who don’t exist, on a hill that isn’t there. Still anxious about the dog. *I have a brother with a wife but they were not the people in the dream.

Are your sheep always turning up late for work? Are they taking too long on their lunch break or simply struggling to get through the workload? Are they always just mucking about? Then you need some

Some days, I have wit, wisdom and insight, and nothing can stand in my path. Other days, I drop my glasses straight into my mug of #tea 🤦‍♀️

Multiple cats in this house doing "we haven't done shenanigans" eyes at me right now. I'm suddenly very suspicious.

A masterclass in how to use your platform and privilege, from Hugh Bonneville at the Downton movie premiere.

In the broadest sense, unapologetic joy is a political act. Nothing tortures your political enemies more than your getting bigger & happier & refusing to vanish. Creating work that celebrates joy & fun & play will sustain your people through dark times.
