@Laurieluvsmolly @BoLoudon @CommunityNotes It’s a credible enough report…but it is based upon statistics gathered in England and Wales between (as I recollect) 2018 and 2024. Absolutely nothing to do with US. I read it a few months ago. It’s readily accessible online biblesociety.org.uk/research/quiet…

@BoLoudon “Quiet Revival Report” is not credible, so of course Fox, I mean Faux News would report it. @CommunityNotes required.

🚨BREAKING: 18 to 24 year old church attendance has SKYROCKETED 16 PERCENT under President Trump, per the Quiet Revival Report. Trump's mission to bring America and the world back to God is WORKING! God bless President Trump!

@StormsJournal @DublinCityofLit @Fingalcoco Thank youuuuuu!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks to all who submitted to issue V of The Storms. We ate, drank & dreamt of each offering & now have 89 star Stormers ⚡️our issue V contributors✨lots of new names to the Storms family alongside many returning to the Storm Shelter. Thanks to @DublinCityofLit @Fingalcoco

@jezthomasart Thank you for taking the time to answer! The wood looks really beautiful and natural in the photo.

@bringonthejoy Thank you Vicky. The wood does need to be prepared beforehand as I use oil paints. I give it a few coats of golden vac and then apply a clear gesso… that seems to have done the trick:-)

A new project has begun… 50 images inspired by the theme of crucifixion and resurrection… (oil on wood) this one represents Pentecost…. The new beginning… lots more to come, I hope you like it

@StormsJournal 😳😳😳

Just to be clear, the editor of The Storms journal is a writer himself & can write his own story (and with 2 chapbooks & 2 collections he already has!). Receiving a clear AI three poem submission based entirely on his life is not at all what the editor is looking for 😳

@NMOliverPoetry Congratulations!

I haven't been sending poems out for a while but I took a punt recently and got some nice news yesterday. It's a few months away yet, but I'll make sure to annoy everyone about it when the time comes 😉

My May botanical illustration & mental health w'shop would make a smashing Mother's Day present or gift to yourself. I teach you: 🌿how to break down plants into simple shapes & add shading 🧠how time spent creatively alters our brain biochemistry to improve mental health To thank you for staying while I was ill there's 15% off atm with the code THANKYOU15: workshops.emmamitchell.uk/courses/botani…

I know Thursday can be tricky for an evening workshop (UK time) if you're in the US or Canada but my 14 JUNE botanical illustration & mental health workshop is on a Saturday: ...same format, same content, still a 15% discount coupon (THANKYOU15) to thank you for supporting me here, same nerd teaching you to draw lovely twigs & how brilliantly positively our brains respond to creative activity (I trained as a molecular cell biologist) but slightly different botanical specimens...bc June. Each workshop recorded in full & you'll probably have 2 to watch indefinitely afterwards so you have a range of different plant species to learn from. workshops.emmamitchell.uk/courses/botani…

@RevRichardColes Hurray!!! This makes me so happy!

A poem about when we fell in love… (including link as it’s a little too long to share here otherwise @blackboughpoems !) #love open.substack.com/pub/bringonthe…

“The holiday experience was amazing!” - we’re looking forward to delivering more amazing respite breaks to children from all over Scotland this year 🙌 #respitebreak #childrenscharity

@sanditiffin @DianneCallaha16 @Mollyploofkins Who was he looking at that needed to shush?

@DianneCallaha16 @Mollyploofkins No, just "I want you to shush .. your mouth", and he wasn't looking at Trump.

Musk's kid looked at Trump, said, 'I want you to SHUSH your f^cking mouth up!', picked his nose, and wiped it on the Resolute Desk, all in less than 20 seconds.

Just celebrating St Brigid’s day by listening to (and TAKING PART IN!!) this brilliant podcast episode - it’s a good one for the patron saint of poetry ! Thank you Damien for bringing this together. You really are unstoppable 💚

@NorthDakotaJane It’s so frustrating and unnecessary, I really dislike it. It’s annoying to have on the screen apart from anything else. Well. I say that. Is there a legitimate use for it? I can’t imagine one but I’d like to know…

No one wants this. No one asked for this.

@RevRichardColes I am so happy about everything in this post 💗

⛔️Storm Éowyn ⛔️ With the safety of customers and staff of paramount importance, we will not be safe to operate passenger services due to the forecast weather conditions across Scotland during #StormÉowyn. All ScotRail services are suspended on Friday, 24 January. We strongly advise you not to travel, as there will be no train services, and no alternative transport will be available. The Met Office issued an upgraded red warning for Storm Éowyn, which is expected to arrive in Scotland in the morning on Friday, 24 January, bringing extremely high winds, with gusts reaching 100mph in some parts. The red warning will be in place from 10.00 to 17.00 and covers central Scotland, Tayside, Fife, south west Scotland, Lothian, Borders, and Strathclyde. There is also an amber warning for wind across the rest of the country and a yellow warning for snow covering much of the highlands. This could lead to trees and other debris falling onto the tracks, trapping trains and putting people in danger. It can also impact service recovery times due to poor road and driving conditions. Once the warnings pass, the network will have to undergo safety inspections before services can be reintroduced. Please check the ScotRail website or app before travelling on Saturday morning. Tickets for travel dated 24 January can now be used from Thursday, 23 January, up to and including Tuesday, 28 January. This means that these can be used before or after the date printed on the ticket. If your journey has been cancelled or disrupted, you can get a fee-free refund at scotrail.co.uk/refund. It’s vital that you check your journey before travelling. You can do this via the following channels: - ScotRail App - JourneyCheck.com/ScotRail Plus, you can get the latest updates when you follow us on social media @ScotRail. ℹ️ scotrail.co.uk/about-scotrail…

Whoop! So happy and so honoured to be on the epic and wonderful @EatTheStorms this Saturday! Do listen, there’s a veritable feast of poetry going on! #poetry

@hedgehogpoetry provides such brilliant opportunities!

This is a personal ritual for me, and many others. The examen prayer is several hundred years old, and is simply a way of reflecting upon a period of time, in company with the Divine. So, a #TopTweetTuesday offering for @MatthewMCSmith
