I may as well reshare it myself 😇

Illuminated - Harrier Angels - BBC Sounds Robert Macfarlane on C16th carvings of angels based on the wings of hen and marsh harriers

118 angels soar aloft in the hammerbeam roof of a Fenland church—their carved feathers echoing the wings of the Marsh Harriers who once lived in this region in abundance.

I made a Radio 4 programme about the entanglements of ornithology & theology, raptors & raptures.

Satirical poster in Hyde Park, Leeds. TRAMS? WE DON’T NEED TRAMS! The solution can be achieved with the application of INTELLECTUAL GUMPTION and our INNATE ANIMAL CUNNING FOR EXAMPLE: 1# Municipal Sedan Chairs The feckless can be harnessed to make up for their complete lack of feck. A win for all. #2 DOMESTICATE THE UBERBOTS THEY WILL NEVER TURN AGAINST US. #3 WHEELED FEETS Absolutely no reason why this can't happen at scale. GIVE UP ON TRAMS. CONTACT YOUR MP AND DEMAND THE ABOVE

Scheherazade By Richard Siken Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake and dress them in warm clothes again. How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running until they forget that they are horses. It's not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere, it's more like a song on a policeman's radio, how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple to slice into pieces. Look at the light through the windowpane. That means it's noon, that means we're inconsolable. Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us. These, our bodies, possessed by light. Tell me we'll never get used to it.

Scheherazade ~ Richard Siken

Martian leader shortly before the events of War Of The Worlds:

Know the work rules comic. Panel 1: Appropriate Lee Anderson appears at an office cubicle and says “Keir Starmer is a liar” to Lindsay Hoyle, who smiles and says “Awww, you’re sweet.” Panel 2: Inappropriate Zarah Sultana appears at an office cubicle and says “Keir Starmer is a liar” to Lindsay Hoyle, who gets on the phone, angrily yelling “HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!”

Thank god, I was feeling really down before they invented a pasta sauce that spies on us.

can this be a solution?

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.

So forgive me if I smell a rat.

Vibrant street art in Limerick, Ireland. A standard street bollard is painted as a bright blue octopus head, with its tentacles sprawled playfully across the pavement for a local scavenger hunt.
