Fascinating
This is so beautiful. And so ... blinding.

Instead of having a shower today I had a dip in the river. Tested it first - under 0.05 phosphate. All good and bracing!! #nature #river #kentnature
ooo... relating
The moment has come again for me to leave socials for a while. Still a few events here and there and I’ll post the odd story when there’s work to share but otherwise I’m off here now to write, write, write for a few months, maybe more.
Be well, see you in time x

Morag is holding up 3 copies of The Feminist Art of Walking. They cover the bottom half of her face but her eyes show she is smiling broadly. Her hair is bright pink with black roots
Woot!
Best start to the week is sharing The Feminist Art of Walking is now an actual book, I have an actual box of them actually singing to me from the sofa. THANKS @plutopress.bsky.social and all walk with me.
Pre-orders www.plutobooks.com/978074535100... Please RT x #psychogeography #WalkingArt
@thelrm.bsky.social arrived today - can't wait. Interested to see how Eastbourne got in there! Love a bit of #psychogeography
Kulmbo - proto-celtic word meaning THREAD - of weaving or tale or story. On our night retreat we wove with rushes and herbs. We wove in stories of mothers and grandmothers in nature. And oh! Their stories - tigers in the garden, mothers on mountaintops. #writing #writingcommunity #night
"Water voles should be common ~ For them to be threatened with extinction across an entire country is an indictment .." Good news @amyjanebeer.bsky.social reintroduction + American mink management = ~ ~ evidence of the water vole! These are vole 'needles in sedge stacks' along the River Darent.
Late adopter alert - but not embarrassed. The writing is so evocative of embodied sensory experience - I feel the river ripple through @amyjanebeer.bsky.social "I know how the tresses of water crowfoot ... move in sinusoidal waves" - and "leaves scatter sunlight into whispers" lush, lush, lush.
Delight! This is right around the corner from me - passed it many times, shamefully yet to go in... thanks for 'fab' post!

Gosh - didn't know pithy could be so moving!

How women express anger, hurt, deep historical wounds in writing is forever fascinating - glad to read this angle
'The historical silencing of women has clearly created an appetite for angry and vengeful female characters that doesn’t look like it will be going away any time soon.'

Looking forward to giving a lightning talk on night wilding this Saturday in Easts Dulwich. Join?? momence.com/Oru-Space/Li...
Thanks for sharing this review - 2 things stood out - that To Wildness prizes holiness as well as irreverence (sounds good!) and also that body is spirit - so female... will read.
Yes! As if we are being breathed... humbling and liberating
Just pre-ordered this. Love that it is called 'feminist' and 'art' and can't wait to hear Morag's take on walking at night. #feminism #night #ecofeminism
Really like the angle of this review - zoom out to structure as a way in ~~~ drew me in!
