If the world is getting a little too much may I recommend the inexplicably obsolete word ‘latibulating’, from the 17th century? To latibulate is to find a cosy corner somewhere and hide in it.
A true legend... so sad to hear of the loss of Sandra Kerr. Saw her perform quite a lot back in my folk club days. A great lady, inspiring. So much love to her family @NancyKerrMusic @Jimbobfagan xxxx
So sad to hear that the brilliant Sandra Kerr has died. As others have said, she was one of the very best of us. Rest in peace to a true legend.

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

RIP 🥲
To celebrate the birthday of William Shakespeare, I’m sharing a few lines from my most favorite sonnet, Sonnet 116. I’ve converted a few of my friends to its cause, and I’m hoping you’re next. Cheers!

Absolutely bang-on from @fionaharvey
IMHO Nordhaus was a charlatan whose nonsense figures have held back serious climate action for decades

The ninth annual 24H de l'Accordéon festival is underway in Toulouse, France 🇫🇷, running continuously through Sunday evening.
In a world roiled by turmoil, cynicism and strife, a much-needed moment of peace, love, and harmony.
All the feels.

The mastermind behind Planxty, The Bothy Band & Moving Hearts, arranger, composer, master of celtic music, of bodhrán & bouzouki, the greatest Irish musician of our time, has passed on to the great gig in the sky. Travel on well and thankyou #DonalLunny
Oh man, saw him backstage at TG4 only a few months ago. A giant in Irish music. Rip Donal Lunny. nitter.cf/Anuna_Choir/status/211…
I’ve co-signed @labourlewis letter to Andy Burnham calling for public ownership of water.
We already have ‘public control’. It's failed. £85bn+ extracted by shareholders, sewage in our rivers, bills going up.
Now we need public ownership. Add your name: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Do you like honey? Of course you do. The trouble is, if you buy cheap ‘honey’ in squeezy plastic bottles with a label saying it’s the produce of several countries, it may well contain little to no genuine, 100% bee-made nectar. Chances are it’s just composed of synthetic syrup.
So it begins... have to say, I don't have much confidance in these mid-terms being honestly run. Traitor Trump and the Rotten Republicans as they are...
🚨🚨BREAKING: Dolly Parton’s sister, Stella Parton, says a Tennessee voting machine repeatedly switched her selection to Republican Marsha Blackburn, forcing her to correct her ballot THREE TIMES before voting. She’s not alone. Other Tennessee voters have reported similar problems while attempting to vote for Democrats.
Aha "Booking has now ended"... I got to 41, 000 or so in front of me. Ok, no Bayeaux tapestry tickets for me then @britishmuseum #BayeaxTapestry. Great. Not. :(
Blimey, trying to get tickets for this. There are currently 46, 401 people in front of me online. Oh well...

My timeline being mostly full of calamity & catastrophe, (understandable) but I need to consciously post some things of beauty, one of the things is this. I heard this on @BBC6Music a while ago and can't stop listening. I think it's beautiful..Sun Ra. youtube.com/watch?v=rE_5oZJl…

🚨BOMBSHELL: Jon Ossoff says Trump’s son-in-law is negotiating with PUTIN to sell Russian oil assets to Trump family allies, and they’ve already “poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump family businesses.”
The entire Trump family belongs in PRISON! Where is the media??

This is what billionaire ownership of the media means:
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta shut down the No Kings account for hours during the height of their protests.
Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election.
Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk.
Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.

They’re discussing how great it is we soon won’t have to pay to drop people off at the airports on This Morning.
Surely what’s happening in Istanbul deserves reporting. @thismorning @benshephard @catdeeley @TomSwarbrick1 @soniasodha
Flying contributes to this.
It’s going to become increasingly dangerous and unpredictable to go abroad.
