Stephen Barnaby

I write and perform 50 word stories. I used to write longer stuff but ran out of energy.

Like many of @26characters, in response to the government's ditching of many existing environmental protections, I'm sharing the piece I wrote for 26 Habitats/26 Pledges, a project devoted to nature's fragile, precious beauty. #DefendNature @WildlifeTrusts https://t.co/6fulr6AJ73

@26characters @finecellwork Thanks so much for letting me be a part of this. It's a wonderful project and the book is beautiful.

Bunk bed, toilet, sink. The Cell Quilt is one of the stories in #ThreadsofTime celebrating 25 years of @finecellwork prison needlework. @StephenBarnaby1 and other 26 writers have contributed alongside leading authors who support the charity. Out now. https://t.co/Vb7qqWBAsa

There was a glorious pink sky behind Edinburgh Castle the other morning but my phone camera wasn't good enough to capture it, so I thought I'd draw it instead.

Deceptively simple, powerful words from @i_am_wordstruck as part of #26Pledges

[26 @26characters]

#ICYMI ‘Away with your spades. Keep your hands off its treasure. Let silent bogs lie.’ @i_am_wordstruck unpacks how raised bogs came to be, and why they’re such a natural treasure #26Pledges @lydiathornley @WildlifeTrusts @NorthWildlife https://t.co/Ef2lebaBC6

@i_am_wordstruck Thanks Michelle!

In today’s #26pledges haiku and essay, @StephenBarnaby1 describes how he is learning to love nature on walks along the East Lothian coast, where seals bask on rocks, “like sleek, grey bananas” @lydiathornley @WildlifeTrusts @ScotWildlife #coast https://t.co/DPeUYnLLR7

@26characters @lydiathornley @WildlifeTrusts @ScotWildlife Thanks! Great to be part of this lovely project.

Plastic waste isn’t just harming wildlife and our oceans - it’s harming people too. That’s why Turkey has banned almost all UK plastic waste imports. @BorisJohnson don’t find another country to dump our waste on - take responsibility for it. #Wasteminster

Hi @KwasiKwarteng, this week in Parliament you gave a speech updating on the UK’s climate plans, but ignored the @IEA report saying there should be no new oil and gas. Will you stop issuing new oil and gas licenses? #KwasiPleaseAct

@billysloanshow PiL's Metal Box is the only one I can think of.

[Stephen Barnaby @StephenBarnaby1]

You can just see Superman there, controversially deciding it's OK to fly between local authority areas as long as they're both tier 3.
