Women aren’t responsible for being raped.
It doesn’t matter what she was wearing.
It doesn’t matter if she was drinking.
It doesn’t matter if she was alone with a guy.
The only person responsible for rape is the rapist.
Anyone saying otherwise is defending predators.

Woke up to my blooms swaying in the breeze this morning! This last blast of humidity coupled with warm sun bought them out. I am thrilled. I wonder what colour will bloom next. I have come to love dahlias.

I was in a grocery store this morning behind a big tattooed biker sized dude and was surprised to see him wearing a proper K95 mask when he turned around to pay the cashier.😷

I can’t visualise anything. My “mind’s eye” is blind. If I want to picture an apple, I can’t. Nor can I evoke the view outside my front door at home in London — I have to open the door and look at it. I have aphantasia.

Soon after the Diamond Princess was quaranteed, Hiroshi Oshitani of Tohoku Univ was on Japanese TV saying that COVID is aiborne. His reasoning: 9 health workers who boarded soon tested positive and this would be highly unlikely if not airborne. 1 or 2 might screw up if not airborne, but not 9.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.
