Casual reminder that the ‘thinning of the veil’ that happens on Samhain is not between the world of the living and the afterlife; it’s between the physical world and the spiritual world. It’s not vengeful ghosts you need to be wary of; it’s the fae.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

The Fox of Greenwich Village walked down to the coffee shop. He hadn't slept. The worst had happened. The owner usually sung opera as he worked. Today, he wasn't even there, just one of his children, who looked tired. The Fox sat at his favourite seat and thought about what had

It’s OK to feel abysmal. This is a crossing of the abyss. It’s OK to feel fear, to feel despair. It not OK to believe we have no value to each other as engines of kindness and connectivity. In this moment, it is not truth which is a revolutionary act, but hand-holding solidarity.

Our moronic food system Ban pesticide products here Make U.K. products more expensive Then import cheaper food from foreign farmers produced with the banned pesticides and undermine our farmers

The massive gap in farming profitability compared to real world wages is partly m, if not the biggest reason this new tax rule doesn’t work. I have had a lot of people shouting on X about how farming is flawed, why don’t we sell up because we’re obviously inept business owners

Sending love and appreciation to my friends here. I don’t post as much as I used to because as you all know our life has changed beyond recognition #BeHappy

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

A few words on the massive consequences of govt suspending applications to the Sustainable Farming Incentive last night. A disaster not only for farm businesses & the rural economy, but also food security & our nature & climate targets.

“It a paradigm shift from ‘I farm this land until I choose to sell it’ to ‘I farm this land until the government choose to take it’. It’s daylight robbery”

When the rspb and the nfu have the same message you know the government got something wrong.

Am I drunk, because I’m finding this hard to follow We used to be paid to produce food Then politicians said we want to pay you to produce public goods for public funds for the same money…

This is the crew chosen to advise on our broken food system? Only one ‘farmer’ and without being rude (and from the internet) he’s an industrial-scale pig farmer/lobbyist who no longer farms? There are so many people with great ideas and loads of credibility and we get this

I'm a big deal in France

You can only pick one. Which one?
