My sub for #printpromptmonday theme of #water is The Flood.

For those unfamiliar with the Somerset landscape, Glastonbury Tor is an iconic historic feature surrounded by the Somerset Levels that flood yearly. Not to this extent though - a glimpse of a hellish future or of the distant past?

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Made my twitter account private. Got up to 57,000 followers, and it provided an important part of my income, indirectly. Most of the MotoGP community is still there. But I cannot in good conscience continue to support a platform that is run by a Nazi. I would rather be poor.

The thing I love most about Star Trek Voyager (apart from Janeway, obvs) is that there are hundreds of different species spread throughout the galaxy, and the only real biological difference is on the number and shape of ridges on the forehead.

In 2025, the West must not rush to force #Ukraine into an unjust peace with a brutal regime that began an unnecessary war, fought it poorly, used its military to rape, loot, torture and murder its way across a neighbour, and is unlikely to abide by any ceasefire agreement. 1/7 🧵
The last day of the year… Thank you all for believing in what is honestly right in good faith.

In today’s world, it’s a huge deal.

Thank you, dear friends🇺🇦.
