Hello friends. I mostly share here things intended to bring solace & a little joy.

I’ll also talk about my work (contemporary story-songs & geek-folk, interfaith, history, folklore & nonsense).

I encourage you to seek out beauty, dwell in wonder, practice kindness & be thankful (& use alt-text!)

One flu jab later, one set of mild aches & fever, as expected.

Zero crafting or mending done, but a bit of both garden & indoor clearing. Apples have been picked.

Soup & toast-and-marmalade have been consumed. The Addams Family has been watched. Cats have been snuzzed.

That sort of a Saturday🍏

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Per the US National Institute for Health, over 40 *known* intersex variations exist. More are still being discovered. Genitalia, hormones, chromosomes –– even a person's cells can be female in one part of their body and male in another, and they may not even know it.

In Worcestershire, Reform are taking the Greens to court in hopes of overturning a Green Cllr win.

Court cases are expensive & the Greens are funded by our grassroots, not oligarchs.

I’ve chipped in a bit, can you? Bits add up. Thank you.

Next week, the Green Party will defend Worcestershire Councillor Hannah Robson in the High Court.

The Reform UK candidate is hoping to overturn our election win!

Can you help us defend Hannah and democracy from this attack? Please donate if you can 🙏

Peter! I would love to pick your brains about something. I can’t do dms here at the mo. My website has an email link though, and I’m on FB messenger. Any chance of a chat, please?🍃

Want to see something lovely? Want to feel hope grow in you?

Want to hear a politician speak with a clarity and warmth that you want to yell ‘Yes!’ and ‘How can I help?’

Here. It’s Zack.

Let’s go.

Desperate decision by the BBC to kill off Science in Action. 😔

Roland Pease @peaseroland.bsky.social · 2d

I salute you.

I had toast and marmalade.

Talis Kimberley🇪🇺 @taliskimberley.bsky.social · 2d

Oof, been a day. Have reached the toast and marmalade and a book stage of the day. Too tired to knit, I think.

Tomorrow I’ll tackle the things I didn’t do today.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

Thank you, Bob! The first challenges have been met and were dealt with more easily than expected!

Talis Kimberley🇪🇺 @taliskimberley.bsky.social · 2d

Heading into a day of many things. Deep breath. Hydrate. Comfortable shoes. Gloves. Book & knitting for the waiting bits. Lists for everything else.

“Go thou well into the day
May there be wonders along your way” as the song goes.

Wasn’t the Moon beautiful last night?
