I still miss her. I still talk to her.
Despite all that she had to go through in her short life she was so very alive, so very giving. I miss her, especially her very wicked sense of humour.

I am so relieved! The app would not open for me for the most of today! Now it's back. This is the only social media I engage with, it would have been upsetting if it had disappeared.

I do not like antibiotics. How can they be doing me good if I feel more poorly than when I started taking them? 😷 🦷💉 Only good thing is it is a very short course, three days and am half way through, then it will take a week or more to sort my gut.

Whenever men attack strong women their target is always looks and (relative) femininity. Says more about men and what they value in a woman, than what qualities strong women really possess.

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.
