Well today was a mess of a day, but I will rectify it, I got some yummy tea and a bag of Milano cookies, I have the Vampire Diaries rewatch and the Seeing Bee to watch. I will find my sense of calm before I attempt sleep in an hour or two. Getting my festive on!
View of my bedside table with my pumpkin mug, a thing of mint milano cookies, a bird cage light, and such.

Food banks need money if you’ve got it. For everything else, contact them and ask—some can take donated meat by hunters or eggs from backyard flocks, some can’t.

What gets me about this is that it's not even fresh to me. This is the most "real estate developer has a foolproof scheme to game the zoning board" shit possible. Not even kidding here. Ask anyone who follows real estate development. The only surprising part is where it's happening. Pathetic.

Fellow immigrants: if you are on the ILR visa and citizenship is available to you, please consider locking that down before a disastrous Reform electoral win, which would outstrip many of us of our rights. Anyone who thinks this isn't a possibility isn't paying attention to global politics.

A policy this expansive would certainly mean mass stripping of permanent residence status from people with ILR (including pensioners and parents of British children) on a scale far beyond anything any democracy has ever done before. There is no public support for such an extreme policy.

Via @sundersays.bsky.social the Conservatives' draft legislation - absolutely clear that it applies to (and is intended to apply to) legal permanent residents claiming state pension (on the basis of their contributions) or child benefit for British kids.

Ophelia's sister was found last night and dropped at the e-vet! Our rescue went and picked her up today so they could be reunited.

So please welcome Winnie. She's not feeling very good yet, but a few days of food and warmth will fix things.
