Hmm, I wonder if it derives from the verb 'blather' (or 'blether'), meaning 'to talk a lot of long-winded nonsense'?

The UK Prime Minister deciding if,when, and how UK armed forces become involved in an illegal war is what sovereignty looks like - something Trump's Reform and Tory lickspittles appear to have conveniently forgotten.

"English Garden" by the artist Kevin Hughes.

Drawing of a mountain bluebird perched on a rock covered in green moss at the bottom. The bird is tessellated into triangles so that no two adjacent areas are coloured in the same hues. Polychromos coloured pencils and black fine liner on white paper, 15x10cm.

A mountain bluebird for day 11 of #birbfest #birbfest2026

I love how he is coloured almost completely in blue apart from the white and grey feathers at the belly.
As if someone poured blue paint over his head and that's how far it went

Milhazes has long explored natural forms in her work, drawing inspiration from the Botanical Gardens and the Tijuca Forest in Rio de Janeiro. Her observations of nature transcend physical form, capturing the spiritual essence and beauty of each depicted element. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Milhazes deepened her investigation of circles as symbols of spirituality—a concept she began exploring in 2017. At the same time, she introduced preparatory drawings into her process, utilizing them to plan her compositions before moving to the canvas. Created in quarantine, this work meditates on the fragility of life and humanity's connection to nature. The title alludes to a "sacred mixture" of life, spirituality, and the natural world. Celestial and earthly motifs—sun, stars, leaves, and waves— combine to form a vibrant abstract landscape. Geometric patterns provide structure by balancing repeated elements with contrasting forms. #art #painting

I played with my paints for the first time since last summer. It felt heavy but also healing. It's hard to create art knowing I won't be able to share it with my mom.
