This foxy book has become more and more foxed over the decades it's lived with me, and smells as earthy as its contents. Wonderful! 🍄‍🟫🌱🌼 #RichardMabey #FoodforFree

Bloody marvellous, Jenni - what a classic!

Today - 08/01/2025 - BBC Sounds News and current affairs, including Sports Desk, Weather and Thought for the Day.

"These people only use the free speech excuse when it suits their business interests." Essential listening (from c.2:10): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

BBC Radio 4 - Footprints The mystery of why human feet began washing ashore on the west coast of Canada and the US.

How curious... 🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶🦶 🦶

Two tarot cards, the hermit and the enchantress both drawn in arthurian style and setting. Hermit is mordred, lady of the lake for the enchantress.

In case someone is looking for an artist for a tarot deck this year, I have room currently, After Feb for a large project. I use tarot and swim happily in the symbolism. mothfestival.wordpress.com/commissionin...

In Our Time - Slime Moulds - BBC Sounds Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the remarkable world of slime mould.

Bear with me on this, but this is, without doubt, the finest 52 minutes you'll spend learning about slime moulds. Brilliant listening. #InOurTime @bbcradio4.bsky.social

See you on the other side, lovelies! ❤️

Water companies fined just £2 for rule breaking despite record sewage Ofwat has been accused of not acting quickly enough to issue fines against water companies for sewage dumping

Extraordinary @theipaper piece: Ofwat has fined water companies a total of...£2 since 2021 for breaching regulations.
“Failure to regulate has contributed to catastrophic underinvestment in our sewage infrastructure & destruction of our rivers." (Nick Measham)
Damn right.

Woman with White hair sits at a table with a whiskey bottle and glass. On her shoulder there is a fox/raven hybrid creature. Creatures emerge from the leather bag in front of her and dire looking things loom over her. She is in an old tavern. This is the cover art for the book NIRA, by Thomas Sniegoski and Jeanine Atcherson.

Thread icon, thing. This is the cover art for what I'm working on at the moment. (one of them) What is wonderful about this is...a lot of things, hence the thread. I think that just because you've passed age...i don't know, twelve or something, that means you can't have illustrations in your books..
