Aww. She is so cute. Cats are great. I enjoy the cats

So pretty 😍

It’s national Hare day and so here is the book which started a whole, beautiful series for me. Through fact-inspired poetry and incredible art from Anastasia Izlesou, the books show children the wonder of biodiversity and adaptation

I thought your cat was called Felix. Do you have another cat now?

Last night I saw the www.imitatingthedog.co.uk/project/war-... production ofWar of the Worlds and it was wonderful. Inventive, powerful, and so damn impressive. If you get a chance to see it then I highly recommend you do so

Good morning?

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

Sam Altman would feed his own grandmother to the paperclip maximizer.

Same. Just a few weeks ago I was in the Northumberland national dark sky park and it was an experience I want everyone to have

“I don’t think the progressives beat us,” he added. “I think the progressives were told how to vote and I think what you saw was a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives that came together to dominate the constituency.”

Or, as some would call it Matt, democracy.

I’m watching The Bluff. I love pirate shows and can be quite unreasonably forgiving of them. Though Black Sails needs no forgiveness, or quarter. It remains one of the best shows ever

I cannot imagine such a thing. You are the first call of a sparrow in the morning, the first glimpse of sunrise over a distant hill

She sounds awful. Not the kind of friend you need in your life at all

I feel seen. Thank you x

Abandon this modern age and live in the wilds with just a spear and a bowl made from a human skull

I hope this helps

Thank god phones run on candle power

With love to you all

The night sky is ours. All of ours. Our children’s. Their children’s. We should be doing more to preserve the view of the stars for all. We give this up for some ludicrous to churn out wasteful nonsense to feed rich maniacs’ grift, it’s not coming back…

Watching a Russo bro film makes me sad. They are budget managers. All that money and nothing to say. It’s as though they sit in a library and organise the books in order of height. Such a shame

Poetry Pizza by Simon Mole (illustrated by Tom McLaughlin) is a glorious collection of poems for children. Funny, heartwarming, thoughtful and cleverly written. This will be a major player in our Poem of the Day slot over the next few months. Would work well across KS2. @otterbarrybooks.bsky.social

I have felt worse as the day progressed and now everything is pouring out of me. I think it’s just something I ate so I’ll be glad when morning gets here. Rough night ahoy!

A photo of the night sky taken from Northumberland National Park. The photo shows the constellation of Orion. Taurus is visible, as is Jupiter.

I was lucky enough to be in Northumberland on Friday night, looking at the clearest, darkest sky I’ve ever seen. This photo shows Jupiter (bright and top left) as well as Orion (zoom in on the belt and below that see the sword - the middle patch of light is a nebula). Taurus > is also visible

You are fantastic

I will be buying this

Oooooo
