For this weeks #Wildflowerhour #Sepals challenge, the hairy sepals of common daisy in #Preston yesterday. Sepals are the green petal-like structure that protects the flower in bud. @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social #bloomscrolling #vitaminN #joy

What would you do if you were being haunted by ghosts at the place you work which is one of the most haunted places in Scotland? Asking for a friend.

We called for solidarity when Hungary's govt targeted bookshops over queer stock, & again when feminist bookshops were targeted in the UK, & we relied on solidarity when our own booksellers were harassed into closing:

Book lovers must stand together against persecution of ALL book workers!
Palestinian booksellers detained in handcuffs by Israel, Mahmoud & Ahmed Muna of The Educational Bookshop in occupied Jerusalem.

This can't be set aside from Israel's scholasticide, destruction of libraries, schools, universities in Gaza.

The relentless assault to erase Palestinian life & learning

- convening with a group of witches to discuss climate change

Since returning from a working season abroad my life at home hasn’t stopped. Was probs a bit naive to think I’d have some time to Do Nothing in January wasn’t I?

sooooooon 🌞
Excited to realise it’s about two weeks until I wait for the bus in daylight, a month until it’s daylight when I wake up, and two months until my lights don’t turn on in the morning. The sun is coming back!
