St Michael's Tower and the jewel, at sunrise. Photo taken on Glastonbury Tor this morning.

Norton's oyster shop, Boar Lane Leeds 1869, Leeds Libraries.

I was looking through some long forgotten images I had on a USB flash drive. They say that fly-posting is a modern day problem! Boar Lane in Leeds in 1869. Image Leeds Libraries.

Oil painting of the last moments of the setting sun, disappearing behind pine tree silhouettes. The lake in the foreground reflects golden light in its ripples.

Summer camping memory: when I realized I was holding my breath, waiting for that last gleam of light to disappear.

"Someone decided to build a system that produces 1,000 targeting decisions an hour. Calling it an 'AI problem' gives those decisions, and those people, a place to hide."

The arresting opening cadenza of Florence Price's piano concerto. It's hard to believe it was lost for so many decades, only rediscovered in a summer house in 2009. Can't wait to perform it tomorrow with the Filharmonia Sudecka and Agata Zajac! 🎉 filharmoniasudecka.pl/en/event/wom...

A portrait of an adult female grizzly bear mom, standing up being a rock and looking back towards the camera. She had distinctive reddish fur on her face and ears.

A long-tailed weasel standing attentively in short green grass. It is a small mustelid with a long body, light brown belly and dark brow and white patterned face. Its long, black-tipped tail is visible in the background.

A pair of fledgling great horned owls sitting side by side on a tree. The owl on the right is facing away from the camera, reaching back over its shoulder to preen its feather. It’s sibling sitting by its side with one of its feathers in its bill and its claw raised grabbing out for it.

A bobcat sitting in tall green and brown grass, letting out a yawn with its head back, eyes closed, and mouth wide open.

On this #WorldWildlifeDay I’m reflecting on how fortunate I’ve been to encounter so much diverse wildlife. There is so much magic in our environment that needs protecting.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

I would love to know the story of the guy in the main photo. He was living on this cliff, well over a mile from the nearest house. He was eventually picked up by Cats Protection, but part of me thinks he was quite happy out there as a beachcat.

As the mist swept across Glastonbury Tor, the crescent moon was rising. Taken about 45 minutes before sunrise this morning.

A large mountain in the Columbia Icefield region in Jasper National Park in Alberta. Evergreen trees, green grass, and a roadway can be seen below the mountain. The sky is clear and bright blue.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media

preeminent - not at all sure this is "my word" for 2026!

Maybe I'll meet someone who is preeminent, otherwise not too sure this is "my" word for 2026! 😉

The fabulous owl, Lady Jane Grey, with her handler, Pete, in Totnes, Devon.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.
