15 years ago today I arrived on Downing Street in a cage.
I've seen off Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak and I'm still going strong.
Only two Prime Ministers have ever done longer stints here: William Pitt the Younger and Sir Robert Walpole.
Bill and Bob - I'm coming for you...

Because of her behaviour (chaotic, energetic) we are not actually worried and suspect she is complaining about the move from rotisserie chicken to plain poached. So back to roast chicken for her.
Look at how mad she was about her bath though.

I've cherished every day together so far, and i look forward to many more in the future.
More quality time together, more happy memories together, more things to do together.
Feels like we are finally cresting the top of the hill, not having to fight to climb anymore.
It'll be so much easier now.

Recently she has been a glowing beacon of hope for me.
Reminding me that even when things feel like there is no way forward, the most illogical unlikely thing could still happen and provide a way out at the last moment.
And often she keeps being vindicated in that hope, that things will be ok.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, but especially my lovely lovely partner @flarebeams.bsky.social
We've only been together for 6 months but because of everything that's happened it's felt like a lifetime.
I treasure every day I get to wake up and know she's by my side even when living apart.

Seven of my relatives were killed in Gaza. For me, Herzog’s visit was never an abstract debate | Shamikh Badra
Australia stands at a crossroads as it rolled out the red carpet for some, while greeting others with batons
Isaac Herzog’s visit to Australia was not a routine diplomatic engagement. It was an ethical and political test of the Australian state. At the very moment a red carpet was rolled out for a man accused of inciting genocide, peaceful Australian citizens were met with batons while exercising their democratic right to protest.
For me, this was never an abstract political debate. Before the visit, I pursued the legal channels that are meant to protect citizens and lodged a formal complaint with the Australian government about the role Herzog played in rhetoric and policies that contributed to the destruction of my family in Gaza. Seven of my relatives were killed. My father died because of a lack of medicine, food and water. My brother, his wife, their four children and her father were also killed. Their bodies remain buried beneath the rubble. Despite the seriousness of this complaint, I have received no response from the government. Continue reading...

ok cool so if you have rare complex needs the hospital is just totally ok with you dying in a way that is totally avoidable
unfortunately this lines up with my own experience.
hospitals are horrendous at listening to carers and patients who have experience with the conditions they are mistreating

we both have sleeping issues so it's pretty easy for one of us to sleep much earlier than the others
just means one can sleep while the other watches stuff to exhaust themselves till sedatives kick in and work enough
