  1. In the end, in the world we have built, everything comes down to 🅜🅞🅝🅔🅨 😱😥🤔🤨

    We should be CELEBRATING — they're what has made our species so successful... 🤷 fuels adaptability.

  3. At last, our nations are standing up for themselves! Or their voters are. Even now, Arthur is fumbling around on Avalon, wondering where he left Excalibur. Remember King Arthur, the famed leader, who spoke ?

  4. I've meant for some time to properly check out , the Society of Friends. Now a post I read has nudged me into it.

    Now I'd like to find Quakers I can learn more from. Just interest — I'm already happy with God, and my relationship with Her. Are there any Friends here?

  5. @Aspiedan Nice post; thanks. What little contact I've had with has left me with a very positive impression. They seem to be very cool dudes, who always know where their towels are... 😉 😀

  6. @rooftopjaxx I'm praying for a coalition next, leading rapidly (🤞) to . Then we can move toward ... 🤔 😉

    "We cannot afford to keep looking away. Nor can we afford to let racism go unchallenged. Otherwise, we’ll be in exactly the same position in 2029. Will you quietly and willingly allow Nigel Farage’s party full of incompetent grifters and racists to run the country, or will you challenge their and build an alternative to their fever dream?"

  8. "I looked in vain for a front-page headline in the Sun, Express or Mail screaming that reaching would be cheaper for the UK than a crisis, such as the one triggered by the war on ."

  10. This is the best book-introduction I've ever read. "The Creative Act" by Rick Rubin, is a beautiful book that everyone should read. Not just artists, but too, and so on.

    "To create is to bring something into existence that wasn’t there before. It could be a conversation, the solution to a problem, a note to a friend, the rearrangement of furniture in a room, a new route home to avoid a traffic jam."

    have assumed the role of trusted mentor, when all they can do is summarise and offer a precis. And they are often wrong...? 🤔

  12. Please remember that, to or other folk,
    a "meltdown" is not a , or 'throwing a bit of a wobbler', it's something very real, that isn't at all what you think it is. Thanks 👍😀





  13. I don't support/condemn , because I know too little of them. But I find myself, disconcertingly, agreeing with and — it is not right for any sovereign nation to invade or attack another, and execute its leaders.

    and should be opposed, always.

    Isn't it about time we recognised all this as , and (at least) stopped making the damage even worse than it is already? 🤔

  15. "‘In Racism’s Echo Chamber‘ shows exactly how the government deliberately stripped attacks of their context. Instead, ministers reduced the violence to an issue of “mindless thuggery.’"

    We need to oppose all efforts to foist genocidal ambassadors for Israel onto our children, & into our schools. We don't allow war criminals there; why would we allow those who kill men, women & children, to steal their land?

  17. I prefer low light or no light.

    Is this an autist thing,
    Or a night-owl thing,
    Or a human thing,
    Or is it just me? 🤔






  18. is no longer an issue for lefty loonies — if it ever was. It's not just now; people are losing their and their .

    Time to take notice, and do something. The most important thing is to STOP doing the things that are so damaging!

  19. Are you OK with "ADHD", or do you prefer "ADD"? Not all of us have hyperactivity. 🤔

    For myself, I'm not bothered, but others may have strong feelings. 🙏 Mind you, I might have some difficulties changing to "AuDD" from "AuDHD"! 😅

    Thoughts? 🙏😀





  20. Is there going to be a reboot or remake? I see whispers, but nothing clear. Does anyone know?

  21. "The proscription of is the most illiberal thing any Home Secretary has done for 30+ years.
