I think we sometimes love certain places as they reflect what we feel, but can't say aloud. There's an old Hookland phrase – to be tulled – meaning to be caught between two worlds and at home in neither of them. I feel that a lot and I'm sure my favourite places do as well. – Martha Twilling #VOH

‘Content’: text (sometimes visual and audio material) as commodity
No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Leading group field botany sessions for kids over the coming month and digging through my photo archives! Going to use some pictures to illustrate what I'm saying before we embark on our foray.
These sessions will focus on moss/bryophytes and field skills! I'm looking forward to it.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

It would be very difficult/impossible to deliver a trumpian hellscape in the UK while we have the ECHR protecting us.

Clusia rosea has fruits of 7 united carpels that open when the outer wall of the fruit separates from the septa (walls) between the carpels. It’s a septifragal capsule. Each seed is covered with an orange-red, gooey aril that attracts bird dispersers. #Clusiaceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
