Curious Georgette 🐒💀

Ironically, my partner is the most beautifully succinct person I've ever met.

'Say less' is really hard for me and Partner of years would agree. They'd created an email account for our correspondence alone.
It surpassed a volume of a TB a few years ago.
Forensically examined, there's evidence that we have changed SO much yet retain inherent individual gold.

Early Monday morning is never the best time to read my own bio. Who IS this manic loony? Then I realise that it's me and that as much as I admire a succinct bio, the mechanics of kaleidoscopic innards and outwards will just never allow this for me ✨
Good morning everyone.

Starfield with words within it. Says: BEGIN AGAIN AT ANY TIME

Made this after doing just that more times than you'd think a person would have to.
I'm good with this.
Never stop moving towards whatever calls to the union of your heart and mind.

(Unless of course that's advancing fascism - cos oh honey, that's just not new, it's just news).

Black and white image of Antonio Gramsci staring into the camera at us.

We need to create sober, patient people, who do not despair in the face of the worst horror and who do not get excited about every little thing. Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.

- Antonio Gramsci

Thaw
Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed
The speculating rooks at their nests cawed
And saw from elm-tops, delicate as flowers of grass,
What we below could not see, Winter pass.

Celebrate by reading The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt's New World by the great @andreawulf.bsky.social. A fascinating portrait.

Hello—Is a River Alive? is published in paperback in the UK today.
It’s dedicated to the rivers & their guardians.
Thanks to all who’ve supported its journey into the world: read it, talked about it, got in touch.
It’s @waterstones.bsky.social book of the month.
“Hope is the thing with rivers…”

As the US/Israel attack on Iran is likely to tip the UK into recession, let's not forget that Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are trashing our rivers, ecosystems, communities, health and resilience for the sake of economic growth. But, as they are now discovering, it's not something they can control.

Protecting the right to protest: why we need to act now Grace Da Costa explains the new dangers for the right to protest and invites people to join a mass lobby of MPs to challenge the potential legislation.

The right to protest is under threat and there is legislation going through Parliament that aims to give police even more powers to restrict protest.

Join the mass lobby of MPs on 17 March 📅

Quaker Meeting House suffers second Met Police raid For the second time in less than a year, Metropolitan Police officers have raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House, arresting young activists.

"The Met Police may want to intimidate us into contributing to the govt's closing off of the right to protest... We will continue to hire space to explicitly nonviolent groups, with appropriate checks in place, just as we always have." – Clerk of Westminster Quakers www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Incredibly normal to be banging on the door of the Quakers repeatedly but allowing literal organisations such as Britain first to stalk homes of refugees and domestic violence survivors every weekend.

Totally normal is this government. Not worried at all.

The enthusiasm of most billionaire media outlets in the US and UK for Trump’s illegal assault on Iran is another reminder of how deranged, perverse and frankly psychopathic these organisations are.

It's not only a war between countries now, but a personal blood feud.

Yeah, can you imagine Kegsbreath being able to get an AI piloted autonomous drone to blow up whatever he wants without having to worry about a drone pilot refusing to follow unlawful orders?

A photo looking nearly straight up at a very large, pointed rock structure. At the very top, numerous bighorn sheep are seen overlooking the land. The rock face is mostly brown, with a nearly vertical face from top to bottom. In the background is a mostly cloudy sky with patches of blue.

A Pride Rock moment at Big Bend National Park. I have no idea how those bighorn sheep got up there, but everything the light touches is their kingdom. #photography

Excellent advice for today and any day. Thank you David. Slowing down, learning to go with Flow state, discerning the energy in the present moment, allows us to become more discerning in our responses - as opposed to pushing our trip on others or environments.
Everything is Energy ✨

Monday: Moon void in Scorpio 4:28am in Sagittarius 8:37am PDT, Venus in Aries sextile Pluto in Aquarius. Get with the new openness. We are shown a benefit and a better way. Know when to go with the flow, rather than push your trip.

My pleasure!

Now that's the way to deal with such bigoted plonkers! 💯🔥
