William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.
The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night
What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

One of the ships - the Ohwayla - sails under a UK flag. Onboard are humanitarians with vital aid, demanding a humanitarian corridor.
The Labour government must act NOW to protect UK citizens.

Millions of Palestinians are starving. Now a humanitarian ship en route to Gaza is being targeted by Israel. On board: food, medicine & 12 activists. The EU must act now to stop the aid blockade on Gaza! action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-6-...

Artemisia Gentileschi joined her father in London to paint 9 canvases for the ceiling of the Queen's House, Greenwich, now in Marlborough House, though her contribution is often dismissed. (From the new book 'The Art of Looking Up') #WomensArt
Ohh!
Hope she's ok. Cats do wander more in the good weather.
Today, I'm fasting and praying for the children, men and women of Gaza who are being starved and slaughtered.
Taking only water from 11pm last night until the same time tonight. I'm praying and calling for a peaceful and just future for all. #fastforgaza
It's quite simple.
You cannot say you oppose Israel's plan for the mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza if you keep providing them with the weapons they need to carry it out.
The government’s refusal to end all arms sales to Israel is becoming more egregious by the day.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.
We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?
Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

Rachel Reeves holds newts in contempt, it seems.
So I thought I'd post this glorious painting of a "lion of the duckweed" by Jackie Morris + my paean to these "kings of the pond", both from The Lost Words.
Newt-lovers, unite!
You're not wrong!
It's not just frustrating, it shows contempt for anyone with the effrontery to ask awkward questions.
Austerity has been discredited & 330,000+ deaths prove its deadly impact.
Yet benefit cuts are being briefed & disabled people are again made to pay the price for “calming” the markets.
Austerity with a red rosette is still austerity.
This isn’t the “change” people voted for.
King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA.
King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have.
RT if the RSPCA should remove him.
I don't trust the interior of some mugs; something about the shade and texture convinces me that they can never be truly clean.
I always called them the devil's tiny cabbages but this is better.
