The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

I’m not surprised but also you should know better than to mess with Dolly.

This month, I celebrate the voices that inspire and uplift. Poetry has a way of weaving stories that transcend time, reminding us of our shared humanity. Let’s honor the legacy through the power of words. #blackhistorymonth #books #booksky

Evelyn Hollow alerted us to this when we were chatting on Friday night. It’s so interesting

Happy #Shropshireday from The Shropshire Witches Podcast! We are proud to play a part in sharing the counties stories! Why not celebrate by listening to our previous episodes! media.rss.com/the-shropshi... #Folklore #Shropshire #Witches #History #Podcasts

On the 23rd February to celebrate St Milburga it is traditional to bake Simnel Cakes🥮. This was influenced by the popular story of Simon and Nell who would beat each other with many household objects due to being unable to agree on the method to make the cake. #folkloresky #witchsky #Shropshireday

Ackshually... "remotely competent" historians recognize how much of progress and "major events" (e.g. abolishment of slavery, civil rights, women's voting & reproductive rights) are the result of ordinary people organizing and relentlessly demanding their governments to form a more perfect union.

Powerful stuff here.

I hope you find some beauty in your day. #bloomscrolling

As I come closer to death, I ponder the important questions. Do they still tell that tale of the one night in the year when all the chalk figures come alive? The night the white horses gallop and the giants wrestle. Do children still try to stay up to see such marvels? - #CLNolan

had a nice time at the Somerset House Soil Exhibition

It's not a contradiction or hypocrisy at its core, though. Revoking the "man card" — or forcing it on those who don't want it — are two sides of the same coin: It's just misgendering as a punishment for nonconformity.

I think it may be the day for King Under Sea here. We all need more Hookland. Working on two book covers (one for @nilsvisser.bsky.social ) and a comic. Graphic novel pitch art is done. No teaching this weekend, but more house restoring. Whee! How is it with you all?

A very smart male Blackbird in the Cherry Plum Tree earlier this morning. He has started visiting the seed and mealworm buffet and eats a huge amount before he sits in the tree for a few minutes before suddenly leaving. He returns a couple of hours later for second helpings🪶 #birds

This may be the most unique gliophorus mushrooms I've found. I have no idea what species it is, but I imagine it's not G. psittacinus, AKA the parrot mushroom that I love to post. Its uniformly golden yellow and orange hue is so awesome! Would love to find another someday! 🌟 🍄📷 📸🎞 🌿🌱 🟡 🍄 📷 🍄‍🟫

Morning, lovely friends! While the world stirs, I find solace in the pages of my favorite books. What stories are whispering to you today? Let’s share our dreams! #booksky #books

Visited last month .... its a stunning exhibition!

‘Graceful son of Pan! Around your forehead crowned with little flowers and laurel, your eyes, those precious balls, revolve.  Stained with wine dregs, your cheeks grow hollow. Your fangs gleam.’ — Arthur Rimbaud, ‘Antique,’ trans. Rosanna Warren

Flowers. I need a bit of beauty right now. How about you? #bloomscrolling #flowers

I miss this man.

“There are no hierarchies in nature other than those imposed by hierarchical modes of human thought, but rather differences merely in function between and within living things.” -Murray Bookchin, Post-Scarcity Anarchism

This was a fun conversation! #PaganSky #WitchSky #GoddessSky

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men. Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

Something cracked open over the past few months of sessions with my spiritual mentorship clients—a pattern so clear it felt like thunder. Everyone, regardless of background or belief system, described the same haunting experience: 'Nothing feels real anymore.' open.substack.com/pub/amayarou...

The cover of ‘Pipes of Pan’ (1916) by Canadian poet Bliss Carman. He introduces Pan with the sound of ‘mysterious melodies / Such as those which filled the earth / When the elder gods had birth.’

Mars is all about movement. Like when riding a bike you have to keep moving or you will topple. That's the energy right now - urgent, alarmed, on edge. We've got to cautiously feel our way through. Concentrating on our own energy, letting it build, holding, preparing, like an athlete before the race

My third book releases in June! And is up for pre-order on most book selling sites now! ‘Pagan Portals: Y Mabinogi’ acts as a guide to the enchanting and intricate stories of the four branches of the Mabinogi.

Today has definitely been a 'hide in the house and draw' sort of day. #drawing #illustration #art #Craxantvs #artsky #artist #artistsky

This article is one I really wish more folks were reading & taking to heart...

#Booksky You know what I, a smol press publisher of queer books, would love? To survive this hellscape and move into a world where we could thrive, obvs. But also to see our print sales rise above 20-40 sales a month, preferably from indie platforms/direct from us. bookshop.org/lists/queen-...

This is your weekly reminder that I write books that you might like to read. Up today, my Minoan historical novel The Last Priestess of Malia. I'll be honest: it's not light reading. But you may find that it resonates. Details: www.lauraperryauthor.com/the-last-pri... #BookSky #PaganSky
