Notes from Monday 2 February: https://notes.peteashton.com/2026/02/02/notes-from-monday-february.html
Lucy came over this afternoon and we took all the compostables to the allotment. This included a drop-off from another rabbit-caring friend who saves up their poop and pissy hay for us, so we actually have a glut at the moment.

🇬🇧 Another example of Britain’s broken system.
Lucy Connolly has come out of prison saying her “eyes have been opened” and is now calling for prison reform. And yet again, the narrative is flipped, sympathy for offenders, excuses for criminals, endless debates about how we should make prison “nicer.”
Where is the sympathy for the victims? Where are the reforms for law-abiding Britons who live in fear while offenders get excuses, second chances, and a platform to preach?
Prison is not meant to be a holiday camp. It is meant to be a punishment, a deterrent, and a chance for genuine rehabilitation, not an endless cycle of soft justice where the criminal becomes the victim and the real victims are forgotten.
Britain is tired of weak leadership. We are tired of watching our justice system bend over backwards for criminals while our streets grow more dangerous. Reform is needed, but not the kind that makes jail easier. We need reform that restores discipline, order, and respect for the law.
Stand firm, Britain. Justice must mean something. 🇬🇧✊

I’m reading a Guardian article by Amanda Mead about Lucy Zelić, and I’ve just got stuck here — because it’s an examplar::
‘Zelić joined the Daily Telegraph as a columnist in May, and this month branched out as an afternoon host on Nine Radio’s 2GB. At the Tele she has written extensively about her opposition to trans women competing in women’s sport and attempting to be housed in women’s prisons. She has argued that childcare is harmful for children: “You’ll have to forgive me for longing for the days where our fathers went to work, our mothers spent our formative years at home with us and blocks of land cost as little as $400.” ‘
That’s is isn’t? That’s the definition of a conservative mindset, an #LNP mantra, ‘longing for the days when <insert whatever nostalgia comes to mind here>.’ I’m no psychologist (They’d have much more to say on this) but I’m guessing the kind of people afflicted with this lack of imagination, lack of optimism, unable to assimilate the lessons of the past and afraid of all challenges emerging from an evolving society aren’t exactly the kind of people you’d want to help solving contemporary problems. In fact, nostalgic curmudgeons are the only people who would vote for them. We all know someone like that. They have nothing to offer to our future well-being but less of the well-being.

Family lore is that my brother auditioned for and was going to be one of kids who plays Little Ricky on the I Love Lucy show, but he got diaper rash and so got scratched from filming.
No idea if it's true, but it's a good story.
(My parents *did* live in LA at the time and my grandmother worked at one of the better-known casting agencies, so it's entirely possible.)
(and I just saw a clip and my brother at that age *did* look a lot like the other actors)

Emily knew their neighbour was a demon. She was the only one who could see her true face and 'Lucy' as she liked to call herself knew it.
So she made a deal. Not the usual one - no, this was simply for Lucy to leave Emily and her family alone.
In exchange, she would provide names of likely candidates for deals.
As her husband was a manager in an oil company, she got to meet lots of candidates. Ones the world was better without.
Even Pastor Jones could not find fault with it.#SecretSciFiNetwork #Midjourney #WritingPrompt #SciFi #faustian #butnotreally #Microfiction #Microfic #tootfic #IAmWriting #Microfiction #Microfic #tootfic #IAmWriting

Last book of the year turned out to be Kiersten White's novel Lucy Undying. Loved this queer retelling of Lucy Westenra's fate after meeting Dracula. Solid writing, loved the new twists and takes of the classic characters and very much enjoyed Iris, too. Unexpected modern connections, which made the story interesting.
4 ⭐, for those who, like the author, think Lucy deserved a girlfriend. -
Coming up in half an hour, Lucy will be continuing with #ATaleOfTwoCities by #CharlesDickens. We're a few streams in already and things are moving along! Also it's funny? If you studied it in school, that whole side might've gone missing. Don't believe me? That's fair.
Also have a picture of Joey in a grump.

Stuck, surrounded by rapidly melting snow? There's the whole new series of Lucy Worsley Investigates on iPlayer right now, for historical binge-watching. Lots of revisiting big, half-remembered historical events from a modern, critical and deeply humane perspective - it's Really Good.

Speaking of references, some reality show on Hulu has someone presumably in their 20s who's never seen "I Love Lucy" (and not getting a reference to the series' "chocolates on conveyor belt" bit).
Guess we've reached the point where the "TV shows everyone's seen" list is debatable, given how fractured TV viewing's been in the past few decades with cable/streaming/an explosion of TV shows?

There are lots of other characters, and it's really only #ViolaDavis who gives us a good look at hers, though we do eventually get more info about #PeterDinklage's character. Lucy Gray Baird just didn't get my attention, and I found all the singing to be out of place and unnecessary. I re-watch the four Hunger Games movies all the time. I can't say that I have that same desire with this film. #TheHungerGames #TheBalladOfSongbirdsAndSnakes #TheHungerGamesTheBalladOfSongbirdsAndSnakes 2/2

The rise of candidates centering gun violence is a result of the growing prevention movement across the US, which has become something of 👉a pipeline for new candidates running for office.
#Maxwell #Frost, the nation’s first gen Z US representative, started off as a volunteer before becoming organizing director for
"March for Our Lives",
the gun-safety group founded by survivors of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in #Parkland, Florida.Georgia representative #Lucy #McBath, whose son Jordan Davis was shot and killed in 2012,
and Virginia governor-elect #Abigail #Spanberger were both volunteers with the gun-safety group
"Moms Demand Action" before they ran for office.And #Cameron #Kasky, a survivor of the Parkland shooting who helped to organize the March for Our Lives student protests, recently announced his campaign to represent Manhattan, New York, in Congress.
“I see myself as a small part of a bigger movement. It’s the reason I got into politics,” Frost said.
“I was 15 when #Sandy #Hook happened and that’s what pushed me to get involved in organizing and it’s remained a big piece of my organizing.”
Today, calling out gun-rights lobbyists and groups like the National Rifle Association ( #NRA ) is common among Democrats vying for political office.
But less than 15 years ago, many moderate Democrats held A ratings from the NRA and the subject of regulating guns was a third rail that could spell an end to political aspirations,
said #Shannon #Watts, a violence-prevention activist and founder of Moms Demand Action.“It was gradual and not linear,”
she said of the change that’s happened.
“We saw that our volunteers were running for office and thought it was common sense that someone who was learning how to shape legislation would want to take the next step to make the legislation as an elected official.”Watts marks the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school, in which a gunman
killed 20 children and six adults,
and the subsequent failure of Congress to pass gun-safety policies, as a watershed moment that pushed formerly gun-friendly Democrats like former West Virginia senator #JoeManchin, Minnesota governor #Tim #Walz and former Arizona representative #Ann #Kirkpatrick to risk their A rating from the NRA to call for restrictions on gun-#magazine #capacities and #assault #weapons.
⭐️Now, having an F rating from the group is a point of pride.“After Parkland, zero Democratic members of Congress had an A rating and were proud about it.
That’s a seismic shift,”
Watts added.
“I think it’s proof positive that playing the long game works.
Lucy [McBath] ran for a seat held by Republicans and she ran on the issue of gun safety.
It shattered a lot of misperceptions and fears about being gun safety-forward.The issue of gun violence has also activated newcomers to politics.
#Shaundelle #Brooks’s son, Akilah Dasilva, was one of four people killed in a mass shooting at a #Nashville Waffle House in 2018.Five years later, in 2023, another son, who survived the Waffle House shooting, was shot and injured while leaving a Nashville music venue.
After her son’s death, Brooks said she regularly would go to the statehouse to advocate for gun laws that she feels could have prevented the death of her son and so many others.
After years of her pleas falling on unreceptive ears, she decided to run for office.
“There was a time where people were scared to even mention it while they were running.
And I remember not voting for certain people because of that.
So I am grateful that people are standing up, speaking out and being brave about it,” Brooks said.
“Coming up here for seven years and having them just ignoring me,
testifying and then being told that if my son had a gun that would have saved his life,
showed me that I needed to do more than what I was doing.”The personal experiences of loss unite people like Brooks and Pearson with the scores of Americans who are part of what gun-violence victims and survivors describe as a club that no one wants to be a part of.
“When people see you’re personally impacted,
they feel that you’re more credible to talk about this kind of stuff.They know it’s not a political thing for us,” she said
