People often donā€™t realize the enormous influence they have just by living. We mostly learn how to behave watching others. If you live with integrity and speak up when it matters, youā€™ll give some of that strength to the people watching you. Thereā€™s a lot of power in an example.

Iā€™ve neglected to promote the fundraiser to help get Majd & Family safely out of Gaza recently, BUT itā€™s my 40th birthday at the end of the month, so maybe you could help me celebrate by donating and/or promoting? It would be much appreciated!

Pigeons have been removed, mites have been nuked, and Iā€™m putting my flat back to normal. That was a very stressful week šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬

*Itā€™s a crime to interfere with nesting birds in the UK unless you have a license and there are certain circumstances. Iā€™m really hoping this will meet the ā€œpublic healthā€ criteria for removing them.

Iā€™m glad the first brood are fledging bc on Tuesday the pest controller comes and they HAVE to be removed* bc theyā€™ve caused a secondary infestation of bird mites in my flat šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬ Iā€™d prefer to live alongside them, but I cannot have them shedding inured into my home.

There are pigeons nesting in my kitchen ceiling, which is causing problems, but this evening I watched one of the chicks fledge & it really is beautiful. Pic doesnā€™t do it justice, but each feather is scalloped shades of grey & it has pink iridescence round its neck. It flew off shortly after photo.

Urgh. This person doesnā€™t deserve a cat. When I was looking for Trapper, I deliberately sought out a black kitten bc I know theyā€™re often less wanted. Heā€™s the most loyal and affectionate cat Iā€™ve had in a long time. Here he is not long after I got him and nearly 2 years on!

Iā€™ve never eaten a Fray Bentos pie, but I was obsessed with their TV ad in the early 2000ā€™s in a way that I couldnā€™t express in words, but I later realised was because it gave me gender feels, so that tracks.

Anyway, the moral of the story is: šŸšØ Test early, test often; covid hasnā€™t gone away šŸšØ Iā€™m super annoyed I have to cancel a load of work though, which always fucking sucks when youā€™re self-employed.

It doesnā€™t feel at all like when I had covid before, just like a summer cold. I have a good idea who gave it to me: a colleague was coughing and complaining she was sick but was like, ā€œyeah, I just wonā€™t get close to anyoneā€ when my boss suggested she should test. Thanks a lot, lady.

Clergyman John Curwen got credit for the musical solfa hand signs (fist=do; hand slanted up=re, etc.) adopted and popularised by Kodalyā€”and still at the core of much of music education throughout Europe and beyondā€”but they were actually invented by English music educator Sarah Ann Glover (1786-1867)

Yes, understanding and having compassion for his response doesnā€™t negate your needs, or make you unreasonable for having them.

Sometimes silence can speak more than words, and a lack of support is still a lack of support. It might be that he doesnā€™t know what to do or say so he just does nothing. BUT if heā€™s said youā€™re in it together, he should be acting like you are, and he can ask you what you need if he doesnā€™t know.

ā€˜Isnā€™t fashionā€™ is entirely meaningless. If itā€™s clothing or anything else worn on the body, itā€™s fashion. Whether itā€™s *in* fashion, or to OPā€™s taste is another matter, but it isā€”by definitionā€”ā€˜fashionā€™.
