An old favourite. 🎧

Episode 118 - Lullaby sea by Nothe Fort (50 mins)

This is a *sleep safe* episode. Just the soothing sound of the sea in Dorset at night.

What do you get when you mix the best selling single of the king of pop with the lately departed queen of MAGA?

This is what we get: a parody of Billie Jean about #mtg #maga #marjorietaylorgreene 🎶🕺

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.

That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

"we keep hearing conversations about tough choices, but these always seem to be tough choices for children in poverty, for disabled people, for working class communities, when are we going to see tough choices for multimillionaires and billionaires?"

Sleep tight all. 💤

Episode 50 - Singing beck below Black Hill (60mins)

An hour of water tumbling into a deep rocky pool. The birds are asleep. Nocturnal things hold their silence.

The BBC censoring criticism of Trump from one of their Reith Lectures is seriously worrying.

The Liberal Democrats have written to the BBC Director General Tim Davie urging him to stand firm against Trump’s bullying and broadcast the lecture in full.

The trail will involve 220 children.

Meanwhile 3000 another children seeking health care for their gender dysphoria will be placed on an ‘observational’ study.

The old ‘watch and wait’ is how Alice was treated. Although this time there might be someone actually watching, this is not health care.🧵

Winter lays a quiet hand across the woodland fold,
Frost tracing every branch as though the trees were etched in silver cold.
The still pond mirrors silence, holding sky and shadow tight,
Its surface barely trembling in the soft, returning light.

Look for the little owl and marvel at the beauty of nature
Let your mind rest, take the moment of calm
My brain’s not well at all today-depression, but I made this photo to try to lift my dark thoughts & have hidden a tiny owl in it. If you find it &/or your brain likes this image maybe let me know below? Connecting with other humans is another way to lift very low mood 🌿
