A thing I've been mulling over for a while:
- if you have a favourite airport in your country you are flying too much.
- if you can rate airports all over your continent you are flying way too much
- if you can rate airports all over the world you are flying way WAY too much
Climate change is real

Good Afternoon Bluesky! I managed to sneak out to a bayou close to my house for lunch today to grab this shot. I am not sad to see 25 in my rearview, now onto new beginnings! I hope y'all don't mind seeing me post more often in 26!

I managed to frame our backyard White-breasted Nuthatch perfectly through the snow-covered branches on Christmas afternoon. Quite happy with this one.

Our home is built on the site of what was several buildings, with some parts dating back to the 1720s. The 1st floor landing still looks much like the 1920s interior and has many original features.

October highlights... also from the wonderful local Hockeridge Woods. The mushrooms were incredible, but so were the trees. It's so lovely to spend time in forests, especially when they're a 15 minute walk from your new house :)

It's is always a good time to declare your support for our sisters and brothers, so please British women, sign the letter! If the money put in to persecuting trans people had been put into acting against those who really harm women we could start reducing the daily toll of injuries and death.
We are now at 75k signatures, with many messages of support on Instagram, Facebook and here.
This is a genuine groundswell of love over hate, and a call to focus on the real harms faced by women and girls.
Thank you all who’ve signed and shared. Let’s keep it going 💜

“These people, and their bleak and ridiculous ideas, need to be defeated. The year ahead will see if we are pulled further into this vortex of absurdity, endless ‘restoration’, hyper-nostalgia and deranged Christian Populism in the desperate search for a mythical past, or attempt to step forward.”
There’s a new wave of hyper-nostalgia for a mythical ‘Britain’ that needs addressing, because it’s based on a number of false, and often rotten assumptions, as the state decomposes in itself and its adherents become hysterical in rancid bigotry.

I was recently approached by a recruiter about a job opportunity. They have known me for ages (I've both placed and been placed by her over the years), and so she knows my salary. "It's a £10,000 increase on what you're on today". Only, it wasn't.
