Found a very feisty little wood dragon in the fields tonight! Starting to look a bit like Lammas with the ripening blackberries, the ragwort and the cut yellow grass.

I just saw a mention of Moon Stallion, which I haven't thought about since the 80s & it has become suddenly apparent to me how much of my childhood fictional diet concerned tribal horse magic pagan rites and human sacrifice! Rosemary Sutcliffe, Alan Garner and Henry Treece have a lot to answer for!

TIL of The Alien Terrorist Removal Court in the US Set up in 1996 by section 401 of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act to adjudicate removal proceedings against aliens on the grounds that they are terrorists. In 1997 Men in Black came out. Wake up and do your own research, sheeple.

Yes. Watch this. Go in as cold as you can.

Way to go, Church of Wales!

Just finished Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes. It's fantastic. Highly recommended.

A wax paint I did yesterday called Ride A Green Horse Home. Words that go with it are in the ALT text

I posted this wax painting I did the other day, called Season Two, but couldn't fit the poem that goes with it in the character count. Now I realise that I can stuff it in the ALT text, so here it is again.

From this day to the ending of the world But this in it shall be remembered... That I my hair wrap cast to hang caught fast Upon the door whilst sat mine arse full still On couch, reclined in triumph and with tea Been trying to do this for weeks. The triumph is immense. Level up with stat increase

Meet my new #Outgunned PC Billy "William was a hero cop He didn't break the rules He didn’t break the mirrors But what he saw reflected, broke him …& the Watchdog looked back through the cracks Now, in case of emergency, Billy Vargas is here to break glass" He's updated his old work vest. #ttrpg

Hehe. Came up in my Facebook memories today. #ttrpgs.

Things you wish you'd written. Perfect post from Joy (who I don't know) on Threads here.

Poking my head out of the air conditioned bedroom to see if the heatwave is over yet like

"The radiation count is way up and the heat wave ain't expected to let off either, weather control tells us that it will probably hit 110 downtown before nightfall."

PSA: its St John's Eve, so if you want the power of invisibility during the coming year you need to gather the minute spores from along bracken leaves tonight. Carry the seeds in your pocket when you need to walk unseen.

Not got a present for #FathersDay or #Solstice? See here! It's my Dad reading #cyberpunk thriller Bad Sector ❤️ You can make your dad this happy with an ebook, KU or hardcopy from Amazon. Buying one, or sharing the post, would make me happy, too 😍

Happy Solstice! While the Sun is in her nest be like the wise mice of Brambley Hedge. Stay cool in your shady cottages, people.

Happy Father's Day to the world's best Dad! Here he is, in the fanciest hat, mid treasure hunt,with my mum Will be poisoning the Gotham water supply later. I guess a penchant for deadly mischief is genetic Also not looking too bad for 80 & nearly 78, so relying on that end of the genes as well.

Therapist: Once again, sleazy mediaeval lions aren't trying to creepily flirt with you from the pages of their manuscripts. Sleazy Mediaeval Lions: How ya doin'?

It's finally #CyberpunkRed tonight after 4 weeks. We'll be right back into an in-progress situation with a cybersnake assassination attempt & no healing time so damage carried over Status: Medea Rezz (PC, Medtech,) is 6 HP and 1 Armour point down Nic (Human player) is 5 internal organs down

Look at these beautiful fox dice I got for my birthday

Today we celebrate the day on which Frankenstein and I were born, both in the shadow of angry Because we can't meet in person, and I know you would buy me a birthday drink if we could, you can spend £2.99 on our book and that way we both get a present 🎁 Link in bio & shown in images #Cyberpunk

Today is Birthday Eve. And here, ahead of those presents, is my Anabasis or "Safe Return From The Underword" present from @cydethan.bsky.social - an onyx scrying mirror engraved with the image of my apotropaic death's head moth And the artist put a magician tarot sticker on the packaging 💀🖤🦋

It's my birthday next week and I'd love to have you all over, but I had major surgery two weeks ago so I can't really... But - here’s an idea - you could buy Bad Sector instead of buying me a drink. It costs less in ebook format and you can keep it! It's like we both get a present! Link in bio.

OMG adverts! Is this where we are? You're calling to cast me into the fire? My spirit endures! I have the constitution of a sturdy pit pony and I'm well ahead of the healing/rehab curve. No cremation money for you!

Then Wham! Gulp! A lightning-fast strike of that dagger bill and it’s all over. Fierce! The black heron feeds by day but especially prefers the time around sunset. Because of course it does. 3/3

What it's doing is called canopy feeding and it works by creating a patch of shade under the wingd that attracts fish to swim into it as they, unfortunately, perceive it as an area of vegetation providing safety from predators! 2/3

Today I've discovered black herons. They literally hunt with shadows The heron stands in the water like the villian in a gothic melodrama, curving its wings round like a cape. 1/3

...but the actual clothes. They are between wet and dry, what happened to make them dirty is past, what they may be worn to next is in the future. There is nothing of the present about them - they are all past and potential. Art by Lucy Almey Bird 2/2
