Morning writers! #5amwritersclub

Happy Mother’s Day!

every school should have a "fix-it lab" where students learn to repair their clothes, bikes and electronics. we should grow up knowing that not everything is disposable, that care and repair are part of living well on this planet.

Who still sits down and reads an actual physical book?

The best place on Earth from April-December

“A woman must have ...a room of her own.” Virginia Woolf, 1929 #BookChatWeekly #BookologyThursday #FolkloreSunday #Art: My Creative Cave by Naoko Stoop @naokosstoop

As the world around us grows ever more frightening and loud and frankly bonkers, I find it hugely reassuring to watch how Nature carries on regardless. Paying no heed to our politics and crises, she breezes through the lanes. As the daffodils fade, the dandelions bloom. The hawthorn hedges are green again and the chiff-chaffs have returned. No matter what happens in Westminster or Washington, soon the bluebells will brighten the woods, the swallows will fly in, and the oak leaves will unfurl. Out here, all is as it should be. 📍 Peak District, England

In Sweden, crowds line up just to watch cows go outside for the first time since winter.. 😊
