Rachel is absolutely brilliant. But don’t take my word for it, buy a ticket & find out for yourself!
Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

I was given my first camera when I was 9. With a manual rewind & no flash - my first pictures were of my our sheltie, my sister & friends.
Our cameras have changed, but it's interesting to see what hasn't, plus the difference between adults & children's photos..

‘My first photographs coincided with me falling in love’: why children have always adored taking pictures
What makes someone pick up a camera at a young age, and what can their images tell us? A new book and show explore why a child’s first photo could be as formative as their first record

Children in Devon are being invited to become “citizen captive breeders”, rearing harvest mice at home for release into the wild to help revive endangered nature.
Wild Pets, a new conservation project launched by two 14-year-old friends, is seeking 20 Devon-based children to rear hundreds of mice after the duo’s own successful restoration efforts. Continue reading...

This is how we should see these magnificant animals, not hauled up on a boat or in fillets on a slab. We should no more catch or kill this rare and stunning megafauna than we should trap or kill tigers or whales. Here are some more of Rupert’s photos from yesterday, with his kind permission.

Annie Golden @anniesgolden.bsky.social has a pedants & scolds list. She has added me.
I know I can be pedantic but if you think I'm being offensive then I would far rather you told me about it than just add me to a list.
Ultimately though it boils down to choice & I have now chosen to block her.

Here's a parody about the price of gas having soared (with everything else) since the Iran war, called "Gasoline". It's adapted from the classic "Jolene" by the incredible Dolly Parton who sadly died a few weeks ago, but left an incredible legacy of music, generosity & heart ❤️
