My sourdough is starting to come along nicely, I've never had a dough jiggle like this before even with yeast 🍞

History of Violence, by Backxwash from the album Only Dust Remains

This song by @backxwash.bsky.social has more listeners than my usual recommendations, but it's just too good (and appropriate for the theme) to not mention.

I've been loving it all afternoon 🖤

Happy #BandcampFriday! Came to get the @eveale.bsky.social album and ended upmwiyh the @hypaethralrecords.com discography as well. Made my week.

Once again, it's #BandcampFriday and I have some recommendations for you!

The theme this time: "Break what tries to break you!"
Songs and albums that are not afraid to speak truth to power and sound good while doing it!

Have a listen, enjoy and maybe pick a thing or two for yourself!

It was nice while it lasted...

First sighting of topless runner of the year...

Ice cream vans have returned to Bin Park. Spring is here.

“Restoring a culture of street play“ is “a daunting and perhaps impossible-sounding task. But it’s one that would meaningfully improve the well-being of children, of parents, of every person on the street.“ - @theatlantic.com

We’re never going to stop hearing about the Osbournes are we?

Amazing, especially photo 36.

A boiled egg devoid of shell but also brown, held between my thumb and forefinger

Iranian brown eggs as a bar snack at last!*

*Not really, but eggs pickled on barrel aged porter with sour cherries is a pretty Iranian taste profile

This is why I joined them as well 💚

There are people out there who just paint Warhammer guys with no regard to the game itself. You're tribe is out there!

A pint of stout by a canal

Ah these things happen, only travelled 300km to go for a pint.

Got one somewhere else instead.

Well The Palm Tree is shut, despite the write up in The Guardian yesterday 🏝️

An ages dark brown cocker and split acorn in the plan of my hand

Those labels are only suggestions. Enjoy finding out what you left in your summer jacket pockets, I had an acorn and a conker in mine.

First day of the year out in a light coat 😎

Exciting times on Anchor Island as we check #kakapo nests for hatching. We’re letting eggs hatch in nests to reduce management intensity. Last night I found these two newly-hatched chicks in Konini’s nest, along with a fertile egg I carried back under a lunar eclipse. #kakapo2026 #conservation

Get that sun! A bit grey here today, but I can live with that

Day beers!

It's day trip to London to try some of the traditional pubs. Booked this months ago, but there was a piece in The Guardian yesterday about old school boozers and the lead photo was The Palm Tree, our planned first stop. We'll look like hipster interlopers!

London bound and making the most of the travel cup that @bobby-dee.bsky.social gifted me.

Cheers Bob! ☕

This needs to be done because Sylvia Townsend Warner deserves all the remembering we can manage

I s'pose you are goin' a-whalin', so you'd better get used to that sort of thing.

The next video comes out Friday and is about the Battle of Seacroft Moor in 1643. One of the reasons why this video is important is bc I'm from Seacroft, and historians don't come from Seacroft. I'm probably the only historian to talk about this who is actually from Seacroft.

Amazing. I didn't see Rollins Band till about 2004 when they did a tour playing Black Flag songs, with Ramones songs for an encore... It was great.

Cool, yet so angry. Which is perhaps how one should be.

I'd forgotten the Henry Rollins lived in Burley story! Never knew the exact house either. I'll do a pilgrimage.
