There is no intensity of love or feeling that does not involve the risk of crippling hurt. It is a duty to take this risk, to love and feel without defense or reserve.

~ William S. Burroughs, from: The Letters of William S. Burroughs

Lewisham's 🔴Labour council🔴 wants public ownership of Thames on the table

🕑There's only so long this government can hold out against the tide of public opinion

💧Lower our bills; clean up our seas; democratise our water. Public ownership of Thames Water NOW. www.salamandernews.org/lewisham-cou...

Lewisham council urges government to consider nationalisation of failing Thames Water

Green opposition councillors brought a motion calling for Thames Water to be brought back into public ownership. The Labour group passed an amended motion, but keeps nationalisation on the table.

Love this, 4,000 local residents bring the biggest ever environment lawsuit, to protect the river Wye from the effluent of factory farming and water companies - both of who literally don’t give a shit about the environment or this once beautiful river.

Miles Davis didn’t begin to draw and paint in earnest until he was in his mid-fifties. He was said to have worked obsessively each day on art when he wasn’t touring. His style was a bold and masculine mixture of Kandinsky, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Picasso and African tribal art.
