How exciting to be included, thank you!
We had a great workshop today on fairytales, with The Stepsisters by @sagetyrtle.com as an example, a Persian story on a chocolate angel, and a new take on the frog prince in Hebrew 🐸

I really wasn't ready for all the feels yet this morning, but @sagetyrtle.com made me feel them anyway and now I think everyone else needs to read this story too.
My piece “When I Lived With the Witch” begins, “Look Annie, at the top of the hill. In the forest there’s one red tree, see it? The witch lives there…”

This piece is a love letter to my much-missed mom.

There are kind humans out there, doing kind things. My partner posts once a week about three good things in his life and three good things in the world. Here's the latest post:

#3GoodThings #BeKind
In this week's #3GoodThings, Todd talks about snow, buying locally and having a bike ride in Oman while it snows outside. Then there are stories about people literally saving kittens, helping their workers, and working together to reduce loneliness and address housing issues.

FTSE 100 CEO gets more in less than 3 days than average worker pay for a yr.

Median CEO pay £4.22m, 113 times average worker.

Nothing to do with performance. Shareholder objections ignored.

Need worker-elected directors on boards. Let workers vote on exec pay.

Wind blows, rain falls on
Mole’s leaf-mould roof as she sleeps

Part chronicle of tenderness, part training ground for the art of paying loving attention to the world – Nathaniel Hawthorne's delightful, delightful diary of single-parenting his small son:

“Mercy on me, was ever man before so be-pelted with a child’s talk as I am! It is his desire of sympathy that lies at the bottom of the great heap of his babblement.”
