Here at Compendium HQ a new show is ready to air for Wednesday 14th at 8pm, the night @elizamarshall.bsky.social launches her Eternal Birth EP. I'd have loved to make it there!

Instead, you will find me as usual at www.folkfridayradio.com with excellent music from other independent musicians.

This spaniel thinks that immigration enforcement officers who shoot innocent people dead should be put on trial like any other murderer. The condemnation is international and we should not tolerate this shit.

New Year Resolutions.

Why do we need to have them?

How effective are they?

Do they make any kind of meaningful difference?

Next time @baruchzed.bsky.social comes to visit us, he's going on the river walks. This month's Photo Gallery gives a sample of the 'Short River Circuit'. There's a longer one, but it wasn't for New Year's Day! Catch Baruch's fabulous weekly paradigms.life podcast!
