Oh my goodness I’ve woken up and seen I now have 6 subscribers!! 🎉🎉🎊🎊 Thinking realistically about how long the content will take to make, I reckon if I had 20 I could earn the living wage making it for my members, which would be great!! Fancy being my 7th? ❤️🙏
I earn a little from my books but not my podcast or from sharing my work online. People say my posts make them feel calm, which is worth a lot to me. Surviving as a creative is increasingly hard. Only if you can, support me here: www.patreon.com/cw/MirandaKe... you’ll get lovely exclusive content! ❤️

I feel bad for the presenters of the BBC Winter Olympics coverage, currently trying to make puffer jackets seem interesting as they grasp for anything to say.

I’ve been posting observations online since 2011. Back in 2013, when I only had a few people reading them, an artist @400footghost.bsky.social read this one: A woman on the tube, her beautiful silver hair cascading in waves over her vivid red cape, nods to herself as she reads a book about tigers.🧵

I made two books! Full of celebrations of the everyday, and guaranteed to give you a break from the overwhelm of modern life. Phillip Pullman says my writing is 'a delight' and Joanna Lumley says it's 'enchanting from start to finish.' Gift yourself one or both as a present. You won't regret it ❤️

BREAKING: The Trump DOJ just erased one of the Epstein files completely from their website.
It was the file that outlined an allegation that Trump forced a 14 year old girl to give him oral sex.
The coverup is real! It was file EFTA01660651.pdf

Braverman says she's been "politically homeless" for over 2 years, which means she was reelected in 2024 as an MP for a party she didn't want to be a member of.
And she says Tories "failed Britain [on] Brexit and immigration". She was Brexit minister and Home Secretary. Twice.
But "vote for me!"

Noticing the joy, calm or even mundanity in little, everyday things, in the face of all these big, awful things may seem pointless at the least, but it is a recognised technique for helping sensations of anxiety and overwhelm, so I will continue to do it for myself and for you. x x x
