I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper.
Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...

It's not that I don't want to Rest. I do! Very much!! But capitalism has rewired my brain to treat rest as indolence that will result in me losing my job. Which I know academically is very illegal and yet the fear persists.

I haven't worn hard pants in the now two weeks since my surgery. My post op is today and I wanted to treat myself to a nice brekkie out bc I also really haven't been in public on two weeks.
So I got up showered put on jeans and a belt....
And my body HATES this belt.
A LOT 🫠🫣

Oh you worked so hard through that boss fight only to die inches before a heal or a bench? Or to get a mere trinket of little value compared to effort? And it feels unfair and cruel??
Hmmmm that's not familiar at all.

Much like Hornet's attempt to scale the citadel for answers mimics the pilgrims' own hajj, the game's punishing difficult mimics their lives too.

The Peaky Blinders dude has a new show out about the Guinness family and it starts with the death of the patriarch and i was hootin n hollering at the fun/slick bit of cinematography to arrange the horses drawing the funeral carriage like a pint of Guinness
