OK, packing my home or not. We had to eat on this muggy day! Round quiche, ham, cheese & tomato with herbs. Oblong quiche mushroom, onion, cherry tomato a touch of paprika. So nice with salad.

Dark and dismal day today here in South Lincs. Nice to be home, snuggled in a cosy blanket as I work and sew.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

“We have been asked to call the centrist response to this presidency “moderation.” Recent events make it clear we should recognize it as appeasement.”
Excellent piece by @rauchway.bsky.social about the importance of building an enduring coalition capable of recovery and reform.

We need reconstruction, not restoration—as FDR knew.

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration
“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”
From Powerlessness to Power
We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

One of the reasons I'm a hermit is that I am hyper-sensitive to the emotional states of the other humans around me. It can be paralysing. Lately, it feels like I'm drowning under waves of collective grief. Let's carry this heavy weight for each other when we can.

Consider:
What can you offer as resistance?
Be creative!
Then offer it.
This is a great example.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.
In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Look at this right here. When I see people on here complaining that there is nothing Dem pols can do to stop this, they can fking stop helping this shit to continue. Please stop giving the bad guys money, is that too much to ask?

Ostrich!!
Dinner tonight (a nod to the old homeland) was ostrich steak. Served with boiled potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, sauteed mushrooms and spiced red cabbage (with herbs, seeds and cashews). And a creamy peppercorn sauce.
Delicious.
