Ditto 17 years ago for my son.

During the night a constellation landed on my face.
Which is a nice way of saying “i had a breakout of spots with this cold & have pinched a load of my daughter star shaped spot calming stickers.”
I was never a spotty teen, far worse in the perimenopause stage. Horrible.

People believe when you become disabled, support magically appears

Many of them think assistance is provided based on how sick you are

It doesn’t work like that

There’s very little support available. You don’t get more when you have a setback… you’re on your own

We need better social supports

Society assumes (for the most part) that mothers, wives and daughters will provide life preserving levels of nursing care to loved ones forever, FOR FREE. Also that it uses no hours & therefore doesn’t impact employment or their own life quality.

That’s definitely cool.

I think I did. There were even mouldy dog turds: I refrained from even attempting to capture such ethereal glory.

I’ve a BA teaching degree, a professional diploma, an MSc & am currently enjoying an MA. All of them have brought skills & knowledge applicable to different life circumstances, but most of all the discipline of study taught rigour, critical thinking, reflection, analysis & patience.

Thank you. It’s been the low mood that damages me most. Being physically inactive isn’t fun but I can tolerate sitting around! Crying & feeling hopeless, less so.

Had a few viciously hard days of being poorly, tired & stressed. Horrid nightmares of my son dying.
However today I feel closer to being my competent self, & hope this continues.
Here are more mushrooms which I saw yesterday: I think their magic helped. They have a sort of innocent charm, I think.

The spar top is brilliant. Is it a bag or an actual top?

I think he is. I joined the Greens about 18 months back, as Labour just didn’t do it for me anymore.. I’ve let membership lapse though, been preoccupied 😕

This is horrific. Absolutely despicable.

At last, face of Britain that I can dare to feel aligned with. Fingers crossed.

Yes. Embarrassed to recognise it so quickly but also proud of observation skills. Haven’t been in ours for about 7 years youtu.be/lkbKkHJuJuU?...

I wonder if we could deport native criminals; ideally some sort of space port.

Neurologically speaking, there's no such thing as 'useless' subjects or 'rip-off' degrees

Insisting we should only teach useful subjects is like saying science should only do research that gives positive results

If you honestly believe that's how anything works, *your* education was the wasted one

I just watched a video about gold prospectors & how folk lived entire lives in wilderness. It got me thinking about how people would have gone to their grave without ever having sexual relationships with another human.

Today, I have felt the impact of the facebook hun.

Sure, I get that & no, I don’t expect anyone to suffer.. but perspectives can and really must be examined

I guess we can caveat for sensible levels of financial planning - owning a home & having grain in the barn for lean times ahead isn’t accumulating wealth, it’s survival.

Accumulated wealth is gluttony, right?

I want to make many acorn people and then make homes for them. I have some ideas.
