It’s just not good enough leaving these children without school places. They have the same basic right to access education as ALL children. Solidarity with these parents.

Discovered recently that Pilates was invented by a man called Joseph Pilates and couldn’t stop laughing. It’s like finding out that yoga was actually invented by someone called David Yoga.

In 2007, a clip went viral of a man being stopped on the street by a Guangzhou TV reporter. The man was asked about a sex scandal that was all over the news at the time and his reply has been a popular Chinese slang phrase for not getting involved ever since. He said “I’m just here to buy soy sauce”

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

RIP David Lynch A one of a kind artist. Genuinely saddened to hear of his passing.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

So, I got starter-pack FOMO and decided to make one for writing people who know stuff and pass it on through courses, workshops, newsletters etc. It includes all the savants who teach me stuff. I've probably missed people but these were the ones who sprung to my head. go.bsky.app/K7ftxtv

The long term effect of the “Beast from the East” on the Irish psyche needs to be studied. I saw that lil snowflake icon on my weather app today and my bread-buying mode was immediately activated. Legged it to the shop to buy two sliced pans. ❄️ 🏃‍♀️ 🍞 #sneachta

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
