@joannahastings.bsky.social@joannahastings.bsky.socialMaybe we all need to experiment a little more.
@joannahastings.bsky.socialEmpathy, generosity and cooperation are also human traits.
@joannahastings.bsky.socialI'm so sorry. Wishing you rest, peace and renewed energy.
@joannahastings.bsky.socialBirds have eaten all this year's berries, so no juice (I assume it means berry juice? Not sap?) but standing under it should be manageable. Or crouching at least. 🖤🌿
@joannahastings.bsky.socialI have an elder tree. Come on over.

She decided to become the doctor her people were denied.

@sheffieldtribune.bsky.socialReposted by @joannahastings.bsky.social“It’s quite weird what we do, I’m not saying it’s not.” Beyond these shores Forced Entertainment are regarded as “one of the greatest British theatrical exports of the past 20 years”. Locally, however, the Sheffield-based experimental company sometimes feels like this city’s best-kept secret.
@joannahastings.bsky.socialAbsolutely!
@popovaprof.bsky.socialReposted by @joannahastings.bsky.socialTheatre of the absurd! Trump announces US will buy diesel from russia even though he signed a law mandating sanctions for any country buying russian energy. Meanwhile russia actually has a diesel export ban because they can’t meet domestic demand.
@joannahastings.bsky.socialIt's extraordinary, and so beautiful! (I think weevils are small and black?)
@anna-orridge.bsky.socialReposted by @joannahastings.bsky.socialYou really do need patience to make a reader care about your characters and the stakes for them. And a lot of the challenge is ensuring the reader doesn't have to feel the burden of that patience.
@joannahastings.bsky.socialSwollen-thighed beetle! I love them. I saw one just once in my garden on the ox-eye daisies (which they love apparently). I hoped for many more, but I've never seen another in the last three years.
@joannahastings.bsky.socialHappy birthday! And good luck with the book.
