It’s one week until the eclipse! You’ve still got time to sort out your glasses! Many good brands available, just make sure they have the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard! www.theastroholic.co.uk/august-solar...

I don’t understand the explanation of how this is translated to visuals from birdsong but very pleasing work from @lucioarese.bsky.social One for @levparikian.bsky.social unless you’re familiar with it already Lev. www.lucioarese.net/seeing-birds...

Brace yourselves. It’s the 448th anniversary today of the documented and very real appearance of the Terrifying! Satanic! One-Eyed! ghost dog Black Shuck at two churches in Suffolk, where he wilfully murdered “two persons, as they were kneeling uppon their knees, and occupied in prayer”

Title page of 1577 pamphlet: "A straunge, and terrible Wunder wrought very late in the parish church of Bungay: a town of no great distance from the citie of Norwich, namely the fourth of this August, in the yeere of our Lord 1577. in a great tempest of violent raine, lightning, and thunder, the like wherof hath been seldome seene. With the appeerance of an horrible shaped thing, sensibly perceiued of the people then and there assembled. Drawen into a plain method according to the written copye. by Abraham Fleming."

It’s the 566th anniversary of King James II of Scotland being hoist with his own petard—almost literally, given that he was taken out by a piece of his own artillery while besieging a castle 🧵

Episode 78 - The birds that sing on the cusp of night (*sleep safe* after 16 minutes) It is dusk. The light has almost gone. Birds sing amongst the June-green trees above a chortling river.

Early June days, up in the green of the Peak District hills, do not give way easily to night. The birds won't let them. Brimming over with life and song, they sing at the dying light to stay, with all...

I’ll add that @fotofacade.bsky.social has written a lovely piece from his visit to the church and his photos show the staircase tower more clearly as well as looking very closely at the many materials used in the structure. www.digest.andymarshall.co/loci-11-brix...

Here in Brixworth in front of this humble dry stone wall everything is alive: the stone, the moss and even the boundary that it betrays. It's all so bloody beautiful.

I keep thinking there needs to be a network that somehow helps authors to do the promotional stuff, now that publishers don't and that social networks are losing traction. Like... I don't know. Help making plans, and practical help with whatever needs doing. Do we have that?
