Ah, maybe I will
I do hope you’ll read some of your poems on here Ian. I record an array of mine and those of other writers in the easiest way possible, by using the video function on my phone but placing it face-down on a table to obscure the lens. As in the thread below 👇
The post below inevitably got me thinking of a great poem recounting a bird’s nocturne. The Darkling Thrush by Thomas Hardy. So I recorded it #poetrycommunity #poetsonbluesky

Have you heard of US painter Ida O'Keeffe? Her work was largely overshadowed by that of her much more known older sister Georgia.... #womensart

Well, the government has admitted it was wrong.

Outrageous bare-faced lies - it’s extraordinary what the right wing press can get away with.

Thank you @drsimevans.carbonbrief.org for such a thorough debunking
Truly wild that the Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express & Daily Telegraph all covered false claims that net-zero will "cost" £7.6bn – or even £9tn – which assumes we could have free gas, free petrol, free petrol cars & free gas power plants if we scrapped net-zero
