I haven't decided,
Where I am going tomorrow,
But I know that I have,
Already forgotten.

Over
Here we are, stopped, speechless,
Neither can find a way forward,
And the way back,
Is blocked.

Donald Trump tries to smear Greta Thunberg for Israel.

“She's a troublemaker, she has an anger management problem, I think she should see a doctor she's so crazy.”

He's only making everyone love her more.

'Here' Grandad would say, shuffling a note into a small hand, 'don't let grandma know',
Sharing a win on a bet that wasn't allowed.

I think worth a read, as well as her solo.

Spa day.
Hairs snatched from my nose by Flicks: 'threading',
Now I understand that treat.
And the treatment of my feet.

Shyly the moon creeps higher
Until it's right overhead,
Then, tired,
Retires.

I know Greta Thunberg said the story isn't about her.

But it's really important she speaks out and tells exactly what abuse she received.

When the world sees what Israel is capable of doing to her, they will know the horrors they inflict on Palestinians are all true.

Tradition says that at the bottom of every rucksack is a crushed Mars Bar, there may be a dessert waiting.

Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.”

Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

In the UK it's usually a council matter. See where that goes....?

Where the lifts are often out of order.

In my bedroom window, many nights now,
A picture of the moon, pressed against the glass,
Red spot attached, moon sold,
Sometimes there is only empty void,
Exhibition over, picture,
Taken to some else's home,
Me alone in the dark.

Is there an end to the fall?

So Netanyahu can carry out genocide,
While in the UK there can be changes to the law to make sure you can be arrested for mentioning it?

I am broken 💔 hearted, but think I've lost that. Meanwhile there are restrictions on Protests to be fought. Sorry, I've gone through Kindle, I'm in a tiny flat and 50% of books and clothes have had to go. Kindle is my only way to have a library, and my eyes can cope better .

Gah @marmottwo.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, it's done, now in my library, with a little tick, not quite on my Kindle that takes good wifi, which I am still arguing about with the supplier. They are good at setting up the direct debit, so I hope, when I go home on the train, we will make it all the way!

My Comfortable Lounge at the Colwall Park Hotel (UK) has been done away with. Maybe to fit more diners in. Goodbye.
