As a grumpy 62 year old bloke I didnt expect to be reduced to a gibbering mess by the events in Mrs. Endicott's Splendid Adventure by @authorrhysbowen.bsky.social

A brilliant book thank you for releasing it.

I'e replaced my old "bee hotel" with a new, bigger one, bought some bee cups for water and checked all the flowering border plants - the lavender seems very popular.

MT is proposing to raise the wolf hunting quota to 500 for the '25–'26 season- up from 334. Hunters could kill up to 30 wolves each. These proposals are unethical, unscientific, and glorify killing for sport. There’s no reason to kill one wolf, let alone 500.

Thank you vbloke and the Reddit community 💛

Follow Beelinda's story here: ow.ly/wxl750WezSr

Thank you to our friends on Reddit
Reddit user vbloke recently took care of Beelinda, a bumblebee with deformed wings, in her final days.
It was heartwarming to see the updates and to discover an online community so passionate about bumblebees.
In a further act of kindness, vbloke suggested users donate to the Bumblebee Conservation Trust in Beelinda’s memory.
So far this community has raised £219 in Beelinda’s memory.
This small act of kindness has touched many hearts while raising awareness and support for the UK’s bumblebees.
Thank you.

... what I really needed was someone to put down a fucking ladder. Still looking for the ladder 25 years later. But Mr Inces book has some glimmers in there for me personally. Enough that I was even contemplating writing some verse again for the first time since I was in my twenties.

Was thinking after reading @robinince.bsky.social book "NORMALLY WEIRD and WEIRDLY NORMAL", about a description I once used to a therapist about the antidepressants I was on - that I was in a deep hole, and the antidepressants were like someone throwing down a duvet and a favourite book. Whereas...
