There is a spider of such epic proportions hanging out in the hallway that I’ve requested it is assigned its own postcode.
Until I am able to muster the courage to leap over the top of it, I will be drinking the dregs of my cold tea and quizzing Rodney on his failure to protect me from arachnids.

Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage?

BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country.

Lib Dems: So you're putting their people and policies under scrutiny, right?

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Sonoma Fire

Large moon the deep orange of embers.
Also the scent.
The griefs of others—beautiful, at a distance.

Betty generously told me her story of serving as a Royal Navy Wren in WWII. VE Day is a time of mixed emotions for so many veterans and civilians.
Thank you, Betty, and thank you to everyone who has placed duty before self.
