This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Charity Christmas Prints🐈‍⬛ 🎄

I’m happy to share my first charity prints

25% of profits will be donated to Filey Cat Rescue! A few months ago me and my partner fostered a cat called Barnaby who has FIV and he’s been a wonderful addition to the family.

£10 for 5x4/4x5, £20 for 8x10/10x8 + P&P

Shells - ancient and modern - from the beach at Redcar. The modern oyster was considerably more battered than the 200 million year old ones. Watercolour painting.

Today (date), the Slender-billed Curlew was declared extinct. The first bird extinction on mainland Europe in 500 years — on our watch. Extinction is final. No going back. Think about that.
