my employer has banned me from using the bathroom, so I am working from home for now but I am moving through the recruitment process for a job in the EU 🤞 It breaks my heart to leave but it is likely that I will be out of work and unemployable in the UK.

Whisht friends, haad yer tongues but open yer ears, A yarn o’ auld times ye’ll dee weel t’ heed, Ah’ll take ye al’ back t' those yonder years, When at neet wicked reivers wrought ill-deed, But furst let me wet me whistle wit' beer, Me tale be lang, ‘tis of cunning and fear.

The Ballad of William Winter is a border‑reiver tale of cunning, violence, corruption, and injustice; weaving Northumbrian, Border Scots, and modern English into a traditional border ballad form.

I’ll be reading from my border ballad for the first time in public at the Allen Valleys Folk Festival. Friday 25 September, 8pm at Emma’s Coffee & Sweets, Allendale. Free entry.

If I were Canada, I would be considering investing in one of the world's largest rewilding projects by buying a 2 mile wide stretch of land along the border and where possible creating a wildlife bog... deep enough to sink any heavy vehicles, wide enough to make bridging extremely difficult.

And the same area at night (surprisingly still light considering it was around 10pm and after sunset, although it was the end of June). I will need to return in the winter months when it is proper dark.

I hope that it doesn't happen but realistically, it is very highly likely that someone will end up taking their own life and when it happens, I hope their family sues the shit out of these people.

AI created the same image with bright turquoise eyes which looked even more unnatural. I am unable to isolate a pixel that isn't grey/indigo. So, I guess I have an eye colour that is difficult to isolate in mixed colour/mono photos without superimposing two images as I've done here. I prefer indigo.

Alice Skye @alice-skye.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I've not altered the eye colour but when isolated it just goes to show how our mind constructs colour based on the colours surrounding it because in the colour photograph, you can barely notice the indigo and it looks like my usual colour, grey. Unless there's an indigo bias to the editing software?

I was a quite dehydrated in this photo, it was shortly after the Pride march in Galashiels which was quite warm and I hadn't drank any fluids since breakfast. It was a sunny day. So, likely the eye colour is more reflection than my actual colour, but still surprised for it to be indigo.

This sounds like it is being set up for conflict with Canada. There are 86 international powerlines that will fall under this directive which will target 35.6m MWh exported to the USA at a value of $3.13bn to the Canadian economy. The US is vulnerable if Canada cuts supply

The grave of Field Marshal Haig; dubbed 'butcher Haig' for the 2m British casualties under his command during WWI. He died 14 months after the end of the Great War.

I provided a lot of the photography and videography for my friend's amazing music video (it also features clips of my speech at Hexham Pride this year). Check out the video and support diy artists. That Clare www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW-O...

I had a lovely day out in the Scottish borders yesterday. I took my daughter to a few of my favourite places. Although, we had to skip a couple of places because we were delayed by traffic, but that just means we have an excuse to go again; it's not too far away to be honest.

I've fond memories of walking the Weardale Way but I've spent a lot of time climbing all the Co. Durham hills above 500m, visiting old mines, digging through spoil heaps for samples of quartz, fluorspar, and galena and wild swimming in pools beneath small waterfalls surrounded by Frosterley marble.

Maybe it’s time we stop calling them the ‘press’ and start calling them what they are: billionaire propaganda.

The press is vindictive. The anti-trans media panic happened largely because Murdoch was taken to court by a transgender sub-editor for transphobia in the office. She lost, and Murdoch put anti-trans stories every day in the Times. It opened the floodgates for other papers to copy.

The only fantasist is him if he thinks that the inclusion of gender reassignment was anything other than recognition of a change of sex. It is written in s.7(1). He's a liar to deny it. "for the purpose of reassigning the person's sex by changing physiological or other attributes of sex."

Sadly not the first time. In recent years we've seen the erosion of media standards as they've pushed the boundaries far beyond the realm of respectability. It was only a matter of time before another Lucy Meadows. I fear that lessons will not be learned and we'll see more deaths in the coming year
