Catching up with the curling. GB v Italy for the Bronze. Cannot cope with my mixed loyalties.
Good Lord that Italian chappie is LORGE. 6’5” if he’s an inch. And he plays a sport that involves bending over at all times. Argh his lower back.

Stupid Lore Sunday
The galaxy is a strange and terrifying place. When ancient cartographers created their maps they would mark the unknown ‘here be monsters’. In the grim dark future the maps are infinitely larger but there be monsters still.

The Squoof appeared briefly at the top of the stairs as I came in and gave me A Look and now she’s under the sofa and won’t even come out for churu. I am in such trouble. I am being so scolded.

I, as a white Jewish queer woman, feel SAFER in a very diverse area with people from many cultures and languages. Because we’re all good at tolerance and being reasonable and letting people be. Whereas monocultures tend to excuse and enable their elites at the cost of everyone else.

But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.
