YouTube video by CrowsEyeProductions Getting Dressed - Anne Boleyn (1533)

Crow’s Eye Productions latest dress history film, directed by Nicole Loven @nrloven.bsky.social and starring Andreane Rellou. youtu.be/4QR9BnrcNbc?...

Yesterday we finished filming a video about the clothing of Anne Boleyn based on the National Portrait Gallery painting by an unknown English artist in the late 16th century, but based on a work of circa 1533-1536. Anne was played by Andreanne Rellou, the photograph was taken by @nrloven.bsky.social

I've been in the UK 3 weeks, and I am shocked at how much Farage, Yousaf, Tice et al are on UK TV screens.
Britain has a serious far-right problem.
The ideology of these fascists has been magnified and platformed to the extreme, it has now gotten dangerously out of control. This is totally insane.

Why are the wealthy so well off? The accumulation of wealth has been driving inequality for decades. In the first of two articles we explain the injustice of our wealth taxation

Why do the rich keep getting richer?

Because we tax work more heavily than wealth.

This explainer lays out how the UK tax system quietly helps the wealthy stay wealthy – and why that needs to change.

Apart from making films for museums and our YouTube channel (Crow’s Eye Productions), we (@nicoleloven) also do book cover photography for Arcangel Images. This example, Princess Elizabeth, the future Elizabeth I, is holding her mother Anne Boleyn’s necklace. #Tudors #Elizabeth1

Marmalade cat close up

His name is JJ and he is almost 18, thoroughly spoilt and super chill - absolutely marvellous with the baby grandchildren. Here he is coming in for an affectionate nose boop.

A path leads down the centre of a very green and overgrown garden.

Garden, plus cat, both of which bring me joy, and, I hope they bring some joy to you too.

There’s an invader turning huge swathes of Britain into deserts – and these dead zones are spreading | George Monbiot Vast areas of land are now dominated by one species – purple moor-grass – and good luck with seeing a bird or insect there. How do we revive these habitats, asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I had no idea this was an issue - had never heard of it before:

Mistakes happen! If you forget to insert that one sentence in a paragraph the solution is easy. Just draw a dude in a hood and he will pull the missing text to the right place with a piece of rope!

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

I strongly recommend adding your opinion of the @bbc to their survey. Mine will mostly be calling for them to stop giving fascists a platform. 🤷‍♀️
