Four small silhouette drawings in black ink, each about the size of a business card, of a hen encountering another small animal in each one: a dragonfly, a frog, a wren, and a squirrel.

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

My sister trains with a Boot Camp on Bristol Downs but the council want to put up the license fee which could put some out of business. Would be GREAT if you could sign and share a petition to stop this. They’re a really important health benefit. chng.it/mvybffML6j

my issue of Threepenny is here! here’s my poem “Present Tense,” I would love for you to give it a read!

“I know this so loudly I don’t
hear, at first, my father’s silence.”
Present Tense by Todd Dillard My father’s telling me about his dog, how it fell into a well when they were walking down a wooded path. His dog ran across some rotted planks, the planks splintered, “And whoosh!” my father says. “No more dog.” I look at the clock and remind my father it’s three A.M. “I’m not finished,” he says. He tells me about the rope he bought, the bucket, how he knotted the rope to the bucket, lowered it down, and yelled for the dog to get in. “But all I pulled up was more barking.” “Dad,” I say. “This never happened.” He says he can’t remember how long he tried to get the dog to shimmy into the bucket. Just that at some point when the sky turned tawny—“Dad—“ as a pitcher of sweet tea—“Dad—“ he decided to give up. “Dad,” I say. “It’s late. I’m tired. And you’re dead.” “Dammit, son,” my father says. “Let me finish!” My father tells me about filling the bucket with dirt and pouring the dirt into the well. And I know what he’s getting at, I know he’s going to tell me bucket by bucket he filled the well and the dog jumped out. He’s going to say something about how the dog led him home through the dark. I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence. “Dad?” I say. “Dad, are you there?” I keep lowering the bucket but all I ever pull up are leaves. Red leaves. Lately, some gold.

a man standing in a fenced backyard. He is looking at a pool, and a horse is standing in the pool. The man has his hands in his pockets and is wearing a baseball cap. The horse is wearing a bridle.

I thought I’d do a proper intro post with links 👋 I’m Jess aka Loadofolbobbins a textile artist and illustrator inspired by nature, books and coosplaying pigeons. 🐦❤️

Shop: www.loadofolbobbins.co.uk
Birb Zine Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/loa...
Newsletter: eepurl.com/hZtidz
A flat lay of a selection of original bird illustration prints by Loadofolbobbins. They’re all muddled together overlapping to create a joyful mass of birds. The birds you can see as illustrations are a goldfinch, pukeko, white browed tit warbler, curl crested aracari, brown hooded kingfisher, Californian sage grouse, king penguin, red billed oxpecker, bluejay, harpy eagle, Bluethroat, white created helmetshrike and a red and yellow barbet. A selection of laser cut wooden jewellery featuring illustrations inspired by ivy and the wildlife it attracts. Working from left to right, a small vibrant variegated ivy necklace with a jersey tiger moth stuck to the leaf, a pair of ivy stud earrings (left one is variegated with lime green border & slightly darker green centre, right stud is dark green ivy leaf with light green veining), small wooden charm of an ivy mining bee, a swallowtail moth lapel pin on a illustrated ivy backing card, a large dark green veined ivy leaf necklace with red admiral butterfly stuck to bottom left, a jersey tiger moth lapel pin on a backing card full of ivy illustrations, pair of matching ivy mining bee stud earrings on a backing card, a small wooden charm of a golden hoverfly, a small vibrant variegated ivy necklace, a large dark green veined ivy leaf necklace with a golden hoverfly stuck to the bottom left and a red admiral butterfly lapel pin. Text says Ivy League by Loadofolbobbins An original digital illustration of a Cassowary bird by Loadofolbobbins. The illustration focuses on its neck and head. A very dinosaur looking bird the Cassowary has a bright reddish orange wrinkled neck and wattle that transitions to a bright intense blue face with sharp angles of the skull visible underneath its skin. It has a beak slightly elongated and pointed downwards. It has a large eye with a yellowy orange iris that is glistening in the sun. On top of its head is a casque, which is an enlargement of the bone from its upper skull and looks almost like a Mohawk and is an array of greens in colour. The background is a splash of light grey ink. A photo montage of pigeon themed product from Loadofolbobbins. Clockwise from top left a hardback book of illustrations called 100 days of Coosplay by Jessica Taylor and Fred the pigeon, a laser cut wooden necklace showing an illustration of a pigeon coosplaying as a unicorn, a series of three laser cut wooden pins showing illustrations of a pigeon coosplaying as Elizabeth the first, an artist and a roller derby player.

This is going to sound incredibly earnest and preachy but fuck it.

Support creative people. Buy their stuff. Share it on here. Music, art, words, whatever. Things made by humans for humans.

This headline & Streeting's words are an insult to the thousands of neurodiverse kids who've been monumentally failed by an NHS on its knees where early interventions are provided by charities - if at all.

But yeah, put the onus back on to children to suck it up instead of addressing what's broken

happy birthday Robert Creeley 🎈
Small Time Robert Creeley Why so curiously happy with such patient small agony, not hurting enough to be real to oneself – or even intimidated that it’s at last too late to make some move toward something else. Late sun, late sun, this far north you still shine, and it’s all fine, and there’s still time enough.
