On Saturday, my partner and I are tieing the knot (literally) and as part of our handfasting we are trying to raise money for a local wildlife charity. What Cuan do is fantastic, so it would be wonderful to help support their work! www.justgiving.com/page/amy-cal... #wildlife #wedding #charity

It doesn't have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don't try to make them elaborate, this isn't a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak Mary Oliver

It's all out there tiny jungles inside bigger jungles, whales swimming across the path, life and death drama as a tiny spider lurks within a wild rose, waiting also if you sit quietly and hold a twig for long enough you can feel it's texture in every nerve in your body, which is odd but entrancing

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.
