And C S Lewis paid loving homage to him in Prince Caspian, with the mole captain Clodsley Shovel.

if gender is so innate why does it need deputized citizens to meticulously enforce it?

Did Ray Bradbury write this scenario, 60 years ago? Or Heinlein? Is that what they've been reading?

I killed a rhubarb plant by forcing it and haven't dared use it since. How old should the plant be?

A lot of work to design, dig, line & fill. Easy to plant but choose non-invasive and native plants. Keep newts and fish out if you wants tadpoles to survive. Constant vigilance for pondweed, but 5 mins every 2 days, tops. Solar oxygenator pump is your friend. So, yes and maybe!

The Israeli military at the direction of its elected government and with the full support of most of its population murdered over 20,000 Palestinian children.

Lying about it. Insisting they have just cause and evidence that doesn't exist. Prioritising material gain above the loss of civilian life. Colonialism.

I've never even seen The Wire, so I wouldn't worry if I were you.

My top is finished and ready to load up, just as soon as I figure out the backing…

Now it's three US citizens killed by ICE.

2/3 So I'm asking the Great British public to help because NF is seeking to be our master.

Were you at school with NF? Worked with him in the City when he was a tin trader? Met him through politics?

What have they done for you lately?

So it should be stopping then? Not stoping.

Purple blue star-shaped anenomes on green grass in the sun.

Blue anenomes!

I suppose none of those responsible for this have ever served in a war where people get killed. They've only seen American films. Shoddy, shameless monstrosity.

Stoping?

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026

Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

That, as they say, is how you do it.

Shameless ignorant incompetence by swaggering braggadocio without fear of accountability. So angry.

Piracy at sea.

How I arrived on Bluesky.

Wow, this is alarming. Grammarly will scrape dead academic authors' work and spit words from it back at you to pretend that this is an 'expert' review. From a dead person. If you have Grammarly installed, I suggest you get rid of it before it takes your work too.

It has more links with the early 20thC spiritualism obsession than with the Golden Dawn, so that's an interesting dichotomy. Also, there was a RUSH of witchcraft fiction published in the UK from 1926, a generational backlash?
