My alma mater, Leicester University, is dissolving its Geology Department leading to the loss of 14 staff. Palaeo is being completely axed, despite Leicester's long and storied history in this area (and its current strengths). Please sign this petition!!: www.change.org/p/save-geolo...

It's crass, but I'm asking for a small favor. I'm applying for a grant to help possibly turning the flash fiction conthology into an actual, physical book. If I get about 30 more followers on BSKY, I can truthfully say I have at least 1k followers on every big platform.

Mind asking your friends? ;)

A screenshot of the BBC website, showing a lovely photograph of the glorious Mhara Starling, who is wearing a black low, pointy hat, black top and very wavy hair. She is smiling and looks beautiful. The title of the BBC Sounds piece is "Meet Mhara who found her true self through Druidry".

From blood and bravery
Flowers grow,
Blooms from bone
And dew from tears
On paper petals where they lie,
Left where they fell
But borne on winds
Remembering,
Still,
In silence lost
Where freedom breaks
A new day,
Hope alive.

A photograph of a red poppy against and black and white background, covered in dew drops. Above and below are words from "For The Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. "Solemn the drums thrill Death august and royal - Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres. There is music in the midst of desolation - And a glory that shines upon our tears." An old black and white photograph of my Great Grandad. A pacifist, he died aged 26 pulling back a fallen soldier in his duties as a St. John Ambulance paramedic. Sadly, a mortar hit, killing him, but saving the soldier he pulled back. He was awarded posthumous medals, and letters from his commanding officers to his wife and baby son spoke of a man of honour, diligence, integrity and great leadership. A photograph taken at RHS Rosemoor, of a metal statie soldier standing amongst tall metal, red poppies, holding a rifle in one hand and a poppy posy in the other. His head is bowed in remembrance of his comrades. A photograph taken from underneath a red poppy against a black and white background of sky. The poem below is taken from "For The Fallen" by Laurence Binyon. "As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain: As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end they remain".

THE PROJECTS THREAD

I have one of these elsewhere, which I'm not ready to leave behind yet, so I'm starting a new one here for the future.

I record all my arty-farty attempts as proof to myself that I tried. Creativity (when my brain lets me) is good for my mental health, which I battle with.
A card painted in bright watercolours, from the top left corner going from blue to purple, to hot pink, to orange to yellow. In the centre is a heart shape with a white border, and the inner heart is coloured reddish pink. Around the whote border are written the words, "Memories fade, the birds end their songs, the stars cease to shine, Love endures forever". I made it as a sympathy card for a friend whose husband died after a long and traumatic battle with dementia.

Stop blaming absolute assholery on mental illness and/or dementia - some people are just absolute assholes, enabled, encouraged and championed by other absolute assholes.

In a bizarre and unusual thingamewotsit of an event, my brain cell suddenly fired up, and I MIGHT have had an idea for a sweet entry (that's what she said). 🤔

If I can maybe manage it, you definitely can!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Halloween's nearly here!

I've been getting lights ready for tomorrow's possible trick or treaters. This year, I've gone for... CAT PUMPKIN! I just tried to think of a way to make that sound like it's a Thing, but only came up with, & immediately stopped at, "Cumpkin". 🤦‍♀️ Pussy Pumpkin?

#Halloween
A photograph of a various array of Halloween lights. To the left is a clump of pumpkin lantern lights, that will go on the bushes outside the house. Near the centre is a large hollowed out pumpkin, made to look like a cat. The triangle eyes were repurposed as ears, and there is a wide smile with fangs and a tiny nose. In shadow is a block calendar reading "30th October". To the right is a lantern glowing orange, and a mishmash of green, purple and orange fairy lights on a marble coffee table. A closer picture of the cat pumpkin, showing the big triangle eyes, the repurposed bits used as ears, and a wide fanged smile, with a glow from within.

Can I do a shout out to find the old crew still missing? Could you reshare this if you knew me as L3GSV on Twitter to see if I can be found by any old friends here who don’t recognise me!?

I've just been reminded of why I avoid social interaction - I'm apparently not gifted in the Being Clear department, but I only accept being called a pedantic asshole when I'm actually being one.

A screenshot of yesterday's calendar, showing that I bloody well missed Sean's birthday, despite having it on there for at least two years. I suck at being a friend (not in the fun way). A photograph of Giggles the Caterpillar cake, with star candles lit down her segments. It sounds a lot more disgusting than it is.
