ALT three badgers eating. The adult is eating from a black dish, her two cubs off the ground. The cub in the middle tries to shove the smaller on the left, then jobs mum at the dish.

This is incredible!
My wheel-thrown stoneware chess set is finished! #pottery

Each piece was thrown as a blank on the wheel, off the hump, then carved/turned individually.

It’s not currently listed for sale on my website, because it took *so* long I’m not sure anyone would pay what it would be worth selling it for.

Okay, so nearly died of excitement there when @robsongreen.bsky.social had apparently followed me.

But no, there are 2. So is @robsongreenxo.bsky.social an impersonator🤔

Heads up @support.bsky.team

Although if it is the real Robson Green I'll just go back to fangirling😆

Admittedly simplistic, but I was surprised how easy it was to keep the polls and the markets happy.
Also ended up with a surplus and reversed 2 child benefit cap.

HIDDEN OWL CHALLENGE!
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 🌿

WIBTA....?

Left a bad review for a therapist online. Suspect they've been canvassing for good reviews in response as they have more good reviews in the week since I left mine, than in the whole of the previous year.

WIBTA to canvas "likes" for my review?

Absolutely gutted.

This Bill allows developers to destroy wildlife & natural habitats if they pay into a "restoration fund"

Amendment 40 sought to limit this.

In theory, with this bill "my" badgers could be killed for a new building. 💔
Amendment 40 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been voted down.

Had it passed, it would have meant more precious wildlife would have retained existing protections.

Instead, MPs have bought into the false 'nature vs growth' narrative.
November 13, 2025 at 8:30 PM
URGENT: tomorrow there is a vote on the Govt's Planning & Infrastructure Bill.
This says that developers will be able to destroy wildlife & their habitats WITHOUT AN ECOLOGICAL SURVEY long as they pay into a central restoration fund.
We can't destroy nature and recreate it elsewhere! TBC 1/

Dinner Dilemma:
1. Pizza
2. Stir Fry
3. Veggie sausages

1 & 2 require deliveroo
2 & 3 require cooking

What I'd like is a stir fry to appear magically with no cooking or carbon footprint dilemmas...😵‍💫

Mandate energy providers to stop charging the same price as expensive gas for much cheaper renewable energy. We think they should pass any savings on to consumers, rather than keeping them as profit.
