Today Health Minister Simeon Brown wouldn’t say whether he thinks abortion is healthcare.

Requested our library to buy this some months ago - it just arrived yesterday. Very excited to read this new book from Sophie Strand. One of my favourite writers and an excellent inspiration with regards to weaving ecology, myth, life, somatics and more into beautiful lyrical essays and books.

So excited to have come across this book - it's on my list to order once I get paid for some upcoming work.
Today is #worldbookday and I’m over the moon to be spending the day parceling up and posting the first edition copies of my new book Mill Dust and Dreaming Bread - Exploring Scottish Folk Belief and Folk Magic to early Kickstarter backers.

Just went for a ride with Skye to Three Oaks and collected a few acorns. Also collected 9 hazelnuts when I got home (Conla's Well and the salmon of knowledge, anybody?) all added to my altar - a mix of mainly seasonal things and ancestors. Spot the peeking pumpkins underneath 😅

If you are a NZ author, I urge you to check the LibGEN database to see if your books have been scrapped by Meta. If so, the NZSA is collecting names (and book titles) in preparation for an international class action lawsuit. #NZWrites #WritingCommunity authors.org.nz/books-scrape...

- kindness
- poetic thinking
- imagination
- storytelling
- connection
- great questions
- forgiveness
- humility
- humour

I've only just started but I think I'll be reading this whole series! Astounded I somehow hadn't heard of this book or author until last week.

This is my Very Handsome Dog, Skye. She is a Blue Heeler x, loves licks above anything else, then tug, then fetch. Recently learnt to swim and has been enjoying her new fun activity

New to this land of Bluesky. Seeking quality accounts to surround myself with... author, writer, poet, dog lover, ADHD, AuDHD, folklore, mythology, adventure, tramping (that's hiking), walking, biking, journey, pagan, druid, songlore, connected ancestry, decolonisation, liberation, qi gong, yoga...

I don't really have a ritual, but I'm trying to build one! The closest thing to ritual at the moment is when I decide to write, I often make myself a cup of tea, set it on the desk in front of me, and don't drink it 😅
