Leigh Ann Henion: "All around me, people seem to constantly be talking about catching up, but catching up to what? I cannot seem to even keep up. Everything’s moving too fast. It’s too much."
Her article about burnout and the benefits of darkness (adapted from her book Night Magic). https://orionmagazine.org/article/burnout/

#Moss can release scents to attract flies, mites or springtales to transport their spores. "If #mosses could smell, #petrichor and #geosmin would be their favourite scents - they are messengers of water." Not only their sexlife is fascinating: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moss-the-emerald-treasure/id1630784381?i=1000707856049

A photo I've taken, paired with a line from my book 'Drystone – A Life Rebuilt:

'Edinburgh is beautiful. Everyone knows that. A jostling, joyful congregation of five hundred years of architectural one-upmanship.'

"If you find it difficult to think of a #river as alive, try picturing a dying or dead river. This is easier ... Can a forest think? Does a mountain remember? Is a river alive?"
One of my favourite nature writers is Robert Macfarlane. And since I can follow him again on another place, I get his new texts. Here's a great #essay from his coming #book 'Is A River Alive': https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/apr/26/is-this-river-alive-robert-macfarlane-on-the-lives-deaths-and-rights-of-our-rivers

“I’m learning the limitations of words and the need to remember that we cannot ignore something miraculous simply because our language is too limited to name it.” https://orionmagazine.org/article/imaginal-ecology/

You can't imagine the effort I have to put in to write a podcast episode (will be about moss). First of all, I have to understand everything myself so that I can then tell you all about it in three sentences in the most entertaining way possible.

The #BatAppreciationDay reminds me when I once had to interview a #bat and a #cactus (I have a special device for that): podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... #podcast #NatureMatchCuts #bats #pollinators #gardening #natureWriting

Nature Match Cuts – The Podcas...

I’m allowing myself to go on about this because… for a working-class, mixed-race, debut author with a small press, four months out from publication and no big PR push, to be on the first page of memoirs on bookshop.org is huge.

It means a lot to see my name alongside these authors and to know the book is resonating.

Thank you!

Here’s why you should pre-order my book...

It’s very good

Some places are meant for memory, not megapixels.

I wrote about landscapes that refuse to be captured and insist only on being experienced.
