Wrote a book, need impetus to apply the edits I've identified, who wants to read my book?
Deadlines welcomed, possibly needful

Swapped a succulent for a cactus this morning. Rather magnificent. It’s a mature Parodia Warasii (Notocacactus) it’s etiolated slightly but I don’t care. Will repot it too. Big tight there, given it’s about the size of a decent pineapple.

I've marvelled at this several times today. Art is what you do, not what the art world wants you to do.
He needlepointed this himself. It's a needlepoint pillow of the actor Ernest Thesiger needlepoint. It took forever and is awesome.

I suppose at least when I got fired it wasn't for accidentally leaving a resignation letter on the printer, I just called the boss a twat and told him to poke it.

The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.

In the past, I too, have put aside personal ambition by going somewhere else because I’d just been fired.

Easy to laugh at the soap opera that is the current tory party, but I'd quite like to have some opposition that aren't just congenitally self-interested, ignorant fucking twats.

Just had that, 'but what about Godspeed You! Black Emperor' moment that occurs very intensely sometimes. So I've had to use all the download codes I had because they binned streaming services which pay for AI military drones etc. It's a ball ache, but fair play, more big artists should fuck them off

Mein Gott.
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

The Wensum. I live about 50ft from it, cross it at least once whenever I go out. Love the fact that it's name comes from the OE wandsum meaning 'winding', and it's that loop that is one of the reasons why Norwich grew where it did and exists huddled in that huge arc of water.
I love the Warwickshire Avon, wholeheartedly. When I first met @salix.bsky.social I'd just begun my Rigersong project, which despite being temporarily derailed is still an almost daily train of thought. I've seen where it rises, where it joins the Severn, and have swum and bathed in it for decades
My favorite Twitter prompt was "RT this with your home river," so reskeet this with your home river.

Extremely unusual that the Bluesky team is working late on a Sunday night to verify Canadian political parties and elected officials who are rumored to be mulling over a coordinated X ban with Australia and the UK.
