Yes indeed - that’ll teach them to try & appropriate Anglo-Saxon as a fascist, racist pile of excrement.

"Wyrd bið ful aræd" and 3F is an earsling.

Oh lord… 🤣

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 13:
Words can be distracting. It's very easy to be so drunk on words that you forget what you're really saying. That's why it's sometimes useful to strip down your sentences to the bone, and check that they're really conveying what you intended them to.

That’ll start a whole new round of aggro…

I vote for green with a golden harp - so the presidential flag can stay as is.

🤣🤣🤣

Flegs, eh? 🤦‍♀️

If I were in the business of flying flegs, there’d have to be at least four: the union flag (pronounced 'onion' 😉), the tricolour, the Norn Irn banner, and the EU flag.
Not necessarily in that order!

Any other suggestions E.G. the Ulster provincial flag, are welcome.

👍👍

It was a load of geriatric shoemakers! 😉
I truly regret that the union flag is seen as a symbol of oppression - god knows nobody can dispute that, but I do regret it. I also regret, having learned the meaning behind it, that the tricolour became a symbol of terror.
A beautiful idea forever sullied.

EXACTLY!!!

Same with the arts. There’s a reason we’re in the midst of a MH crisis + rise of fascism. Cutting the arts / humanities makes zero economic sense.

Communities need the arts to function.

Eek! 👀

And this morning the Shed is a basket chair, wedged into the fork of a tree; overlooking the acres of aconite and wild garlic…

See, you could have avoided this dilemma if you’d also bought a filled soda. The sausage roll could then have waited happily until lunch, belly full and gurgling beatifically.

Word Crunching I  wrote  a poem  on a page  but then each line grew  to the word sum of the previous two  until I began to worry about all these words coming with such frequency  because as you can see, it can be easy to run out of space when a poem gets all Fibonacci sequency  Brian Bilston

Today’s poem is called ‘Word Crunching’.

And he has the innate superiority thang down to a tee. Or a paw.

Nobody needs to ham it up with flegs.

Don’t we know it…

Pet owners hit with steep bills after EU passport rule change Rule change affects dogs, cats and ferrets, with some owners telling the BBC new health certificates cost hundreds of pounds.

Just so you know I do love a good tyop even when it’s my own. 🤦‍♀️

Climate change adaptation policy and planning for cultural heritage in low- and middle-income countries | Antiquity | Cambridge Core Climate change threatens archaeological sites and cultural landscapes globally. While to date, awareness and action around cultural heritage and climate change adaptation planning has focused on Europe and North America, in this article, the authors address adaptation policy and measures for heritage sites in low- and middle-income countries. Using a review of national adaptation plans, expert survey and five case studies, results show the varied climate change adaptation responses across four continents, their strengths and weaknesses, and the barriers to be addressed to ensure better integration of cultural heritage in climate change adaptation planning.

On #EarthDay it's worth remembering that climate change is a danger to our past, as well as our future.

of pressurising the real culprits, DJT and his entourage. They are merrily playing the markets like a fiddle as people die. But of course the oil industry will do sweet fuck all to help us or pressurise Trump and co because the are coining it. Greed is good.

greed are at the heart of it. Energy companies increased our costs way before they suffered any price impacts. Now they maintain their disgusting levels of profit at our expense They should be shouldering the lions share here, they've fleeced us enough to cover it.

Thirdly, they are quite capable

I may be an outlier here but I actually don't agree that cutting tax on energy is how to address current price inflation. First of all cutting tax means less money for other things we need so we miss out or pay more elsewhere.

Secondly, the problem wasn't cause by our government. Price gouging and

In honour of #WorldEarthDay here are some images of the wonderful wildlife you can encounter on the Great Saltee Island.

I have visited the island a number of times now, due to my obsession with puffins I have tried to make it an annual tradition!
