With another social media exodus happening right now (this time from Meta's platforms), here's a Starter Pack for everyone to follow!

‘Pan came out of the woods one day, His skin and his hair and his eyes were gray, The gray of the moss of walls were they, And stood in the sun and looked his fill At wooded valley and wooded hill.’ — Robert Frost, ‘Pan with Us’ (1915) 🎨Jim Colorex

Things that are bigger than I thought they'd be. This wombat 😲😍:

Your evening Lily

Yes, it's good 😃 Really good! Gwendolyn Reece has put together a fully congruent, historically relevant and respectful system of praxis for approaching the Greek Theoi in the modern age. Another great example of Llewellyn Worldwide putting out some high quality stuff recently!👌 youtu.be/u-TVFGaPuoE

A book a day for a week #5 The Glorious Life of the Oak by John Lewis-Stempel 'The oak is the wooden tie between heaven and earth. It is the lynch pin of the British landscape.' If my copy looks like it has spent a lot of time in our woodland, it’s because it has

Cyprus has announced its intention to join NATO, yet another catastrophic failure of Putin’s war. The country is already the home to a British base, Akrotiri, which polices the Med. It’s long been a hideout for Russian oligarchs and their money. Today Cyprus revoked the citizenship of 77 Russians.

Thomas Hardy's The Withered Arm made by the BBC in 1973 treats the supernatural like chaos magick and Fate like a chisel. I love its seriousness, its lack of vaudeville. Wessex Tales, 1. The Withered Arm: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0jvcgjm via @bbciplayer

rodneyorpheus New release date for the new book from Phil Hine and myself: March 25, 2025. It's taken a lot longer than we would have ideally liked, but the end result is going to be worth it: 650 pages of awesomeness for less than 20 bucks! And yes, you can preorder it now...

Is Bluesky ready for our first real rare book drop?

Freedom - by East Anglia artist, Dee Nickerson I love this artist's work. #winter #snow #art #trees

Reggie and Ronnie giving it moody vibes in the hall this morning. I suspect they’re hunting.

Hello––I'm interested in poetry & songs written to protest against harm to rivers or to protect them from harm. Not just paeans to rivers, of which there are many. But words to protest or protect. Can you recommend anything? I’d really like to grow a list. Any century, language, culture, custom.

Hello—introductions seem in order in this cordial new space. 👋 I’m Robert Macfarlane; I write books, films & music about the infinitely complex & fascinating terrain where nature, landscape, language & imagination entangle. These are some of my books—& Is A River Alive? (just finished, out May 1st.)

My treat*. Along with an M&S Cafe Latte mousse. *enraging but still good

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

Here's a little something I made to sing us off to bed this Monday evening. The Beatles You Won't See Me isolated vocals in stereo. I blather on and on about how lush the vocal harmonies are on this album & this is a prime example: 3 tracks of vocals on a 4-track tape. youtu.be/VtzjnlfzzDo

New arrival: Daniel Light’s “The White Ladder: Triumph and Tragedy at the Dawn of Mountaineering.” The book includes accounts of the expeditions to K2 and Kangchenjunga in which Aleister Crowley participated. The accounts are rich, interesting and even-handed. /1

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

Paupers graves where they buried up to 20 people on top of each other in the 19th century. A sobering walk this morning.

Now that I've fled Leon's site for bluer skies, I'm sure I'll be called an #Ex-X, but personally, I'll always consider myself a #TwitterQuitter.

A neighbourhood has three cafes: Threads cafe, BlueSky cafe and Mastodon cafe. Some people prefer one, while others go from one to another to say hello. A few like all three. All good: no reason for there just to be one. But we all avoid the once-popular place that went bad under new management.

Umm. This is like first day at school. I’ve joined up

👋 Hello, Bluesky! go.bsky.app/VP5EvGW

Always good to have help when you’re trying to make the bed #sophiefromromania

A sit down strike from #sophiefromromania halfway round our morning walk. Perhaps she’s missing the Prof who’s away for a few days but she perked up and was rewarded with some bacon when we got home

Another day, another million new people have joined Bluesky! 18M users? 🙂‍↔️ 18M friends 🙂‍↕️

Thanks to those who have bidded on my pair of books in the Children in Read auction for Children in Need There's only a few hours left to go if you want them. Each book would get a personalised dedication www.jumblebee.co.uk/auction/deta...

I never do the clapping-hands thing—I hate it—so understand that I’m doing it now to underscore how angry I am at the refusal of major media to acknowledge something so obvious it should undergird all current political coverage He 👏 is 👏 a 👏 co-president 👏 and 👏 you 👏 must 👏 cover 👏 him 👏 as 👏 such

Bluesky is booming… …and it already feels like home.

An astonishing piece of writing that ought to send Byline subs (which HM edits) soaring. It's wretched that journalism now runs like PBS, where it's brought 'in part by readers like you', but such is the world today.

For most of history, the witch has been a creature of the bruised margins – dweller at village edge, the wrong side of the hedge. No true witch lacks empathy for all those others marginalised by society's insane need to other and divide. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Having studied* both Quantum and Particle Physics, I firmly believe that portals to a 5th dimension are conduits through which kittens are able to reach us from their own multiverse. *I've watched Professor Brian Cox and Horizon programmes on the telly and all of the Star Trek films

My contributor copy of ALL THE HAUNTS BE OURS Vol. 2 has arrived! Excited to check out all the #folkhorror wonders curated by @kierlajanisse.bsky.social, including the hardcover book of folk horror fiction.

According to Robert Graves, the supposed death of Pan was a misunderstanding: ‘The Egyptian Thamus apparently misheard the ceremonial lament Thamus Pan-megas Tethnēce (“the all-great Thammuz is dead!”) for the message, “Thamus, Great Pan is dead!”’ — ‘The Greek Myths,’ 1955
