Rachel is standing on her garden path with her back to the camera. She is wearing a black sports bra and black shorts. She has her head down and her right arm raised making the metal 🀘 sign. Her body is strong and tattooed. The sky is bright blue.

I did a run yesterday! In shorts! And I wasn't cold... which is concerning from a climate change perspective 🫠
Very much enjoying how strong I look in this picture though.

Celebrating it being warm enough to not need two blankets and a hot water bottle while sat on the sofa.

That you are feeling alien spacecraft vibes right now is not coincidence. Heronkind is not of this planet 1/2 🧡

An orange Hornsea coffee mug with a cat pattern on it. It is held with the sun behind it, highlighting the steam coming off the hot drink. In the background is a small front garden with a silhouetted fig tree & birdfeeder.

Anyone remember sunshine? No, me neither. This grey cloud and rain is making me want to d!e.

Went out for sunrise. Pootled around taking pictures for a further 4 hours.

Awake early (4am) for no reason. Told myself I'd feed the cats at 5 and go straight back to bed... except that I looked outside and saw the moon and now I'm tempted to go out for sunrise pics 🫠

if you want butterflies, you need to live with
caterpillars.
iam not being metaphorical, i work in a garden center,
stop buying plants 'to bring in the bees and butterflies
and then immediately poisoning every caterpillar that
dares to consume a single leaf
you will not get butterflies if you kill all the things that
turn into butterflies! what are you doing!

(end of post)

below it, a response from afroartinc:

As a poet, I also want my viewers to take this rather
beautiful allegory into account.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For β€˜doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

a woman in a blue dress is sitting in a chair with a drink in her hand and says wait is this my midlife crisis Alt: a woman in a blue dress is sitting in a chair with a drink in her hand and says wait is this my midlife crisis

In my Greek practice this morning I learned that "waiting" is "perimΓ©no" (πΡριμένω). As a 39 and a half year old woman this seemed pertinent.

Sooo, is TdF 2027 stage 2 in Keswick gonna clash with the convention? I'd love to see the battle of wills between the caravan and all the pain in the arse convention people who simply do not move out the way.

This is nice but I feel they’ve missed a trick by not including a cord in her back that you can pull to make her say β€œTwisted flax please, Victoria”

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like RenΓ©e Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A view down a short garden path to a road woth parked cars and a dusting of snow about 1cm thick. There is a cat sat at the end of the path in silhouette against the street light.

Nice attempt at snow, Leeds. I'd say about 1cm thick πŸ™ƒ

What are the reasons someone might not appear in court (magistrates) when they were due to?
I keep checking the daily listings, but the name I'm looking for hasn't appeared, despite being due in court Tuesday.

Honestly, same here. I got mine 18months ago and I don't think people really understand how huge an impact it can have; giving you a framework to understand how your brain functions. Life-saving πŸ’œπŸ’œ

If they weren't a danger to life I would be amused by the dickheads in their big drug-dealer 4x4s struggling to drive on a bit of Ice. As it is, it's terrifying, especially at school drop-off time.

At 5.15pm GMT today, the Earth will be at perihelion, the closest point to the Sun in our annual round.

This should be the start of the year. Happy new orbit, everyone!
