A brush pen and Chinese watercolor of a young Japanese maple tree in a pot. Art by me.

There is still beauty in the world, despite all the ugliness that is currently on display. Seeing the delicate, perfectly designed leaves on a Japanese maple tree reminds me of that, even when things look bleak. 🙏🏻🍁🍁

Scared to commit to the overpainting phase of this!

My parents always said garlic water worked, and so we put two bulbs of garlic chopped in half in the watering can and watered for a couple of weeks and that worked. You need to leave the watering can outside though as it starts to smell very garlicy after a couple of days.

Thanks, I can look into this with PGS from my Diocese. It used to be that you needed to have a Title for HMRC to claim Gift Aid, but I had a quick look tonight and they seem to have removed that requirement (it may be in small print so will check properly next week), so it may be a hangover of that.

Well done Nikki!

We have a hedgehog in our garden, or at least hedgehog poo implying that a hedgehog has passed by!

Since turning 40, my eyebrows seem to have become inspired by those of Rowan Williams, I just have to pray that they bring his wisdom also.

What a miserable day to be trans in the UK. Not a single trans person was allowed to make a representation to the Supreme Court. Not one. And we are the group who will pay the price.

I know that celebrating anything these days seems tone deaf. I know. But: if you've been waiting to read my book, I am so pleased to share that it is now officially available free to read in Open Access. So check it out and share widely! bit.ly/thedevouringmetaphor

Good luck, and well done for getting it in!

a photo taken from a few rows back in a college lecture hall. there’s a golden retriever standing on their hind legs with their paws resting on the long table at the front of the room. the whiteboards behind them are blank for now, because they’re going to need a lot of room to explain.

Anti-trans sentiment is often framed as 'protecting women' or 'keeping women safe'. I'd like to take this Trans Day of Visibility to state that I feel far, far safer around all my trans friends and trans people I know than I would with a single person who thinks trans people are a threat to me.

I ordered this yesterday, so very excited to get into it soon. Hope you enjoy it.

Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.

This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️

I have only read the first one so far, the 2nd is on the bookshelf and waiting, but looking forward to getting to the 2nd and 3rd soon.

A stack of 9 books of various kinds and sizes.

Went out for the morning as buoders were in and took read books to the charity shop and ended up buying some new ones. It was a very good morning and my wallet is feeling lighter than my bookshelves. #booksky

Bluesky friends, Happy Pi Day 🥧

Thank you, they were good, and have some leftover for snacks. When I was in community we did Lent one year buying food only from the UK and another year only food that did not have plastic packaging, and both took a lot of thought when meal prepping. But we always had eggs as the hens kept laying!

I enjoy pancakes throughout the year, but there is something which feels very naughty about eating them in Lent. Trying out a new recipe, only meant to make 6, but got 12 out of it, so we might be eating them for a while.

Congratulations 🎉

A patch of dug over garden in the back you can see some snowdrops that have gone over and the trunk of a cherry tree.

Our garden has lots of bushes and trees but not many flowers, so starting on putting together a new flower bed. Today has just been breaking up the old lawn and hopefully tomorrow we will go out and get some compost.

We had the first of our church Lent groups this afternoon and we are reading "From Now On" by @revrachelmann.bsky.social. We have a usual congregation of 24 or so, and 18 came to the group. Twas a great time together, hearing everyone's dreams & hopes was a privilege, especially some older friends.

Really enjoyed attending Introduction to Feminist Theology webinar today, much to ponder & more questions forming about God, atonement and the Church, but that often seems to be the way with good teaching. Thank you @karenod.bsky.social (icon by Kelly Latimore @klicons.bsky.social )
