That part of the future you could see.
The past floated above my head,
Like the sun and moon, visible but never reachable.”
Louise Glück, “Averno”

Ring the bell that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the Light gets in

A couple more sea bird photos from the weekend trip to Arran (just been looking at the photos). A group of cormorants in the sunset, and a gull on a stone seal sculpture

Confected outrage from right wingers yet again. Calm down everyone. It’s not as if
a) the Government has taken benefits away from children like the last lot did
b) given corrupt contracts to their mates like the last lot did
c) taken photo ops at food banks caused by their welfare reforms
etc

"There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad."
This story is starting to make me feel I’m going slightly mad - maybe RR overdid the gloom, but the tax rises are paying for a) the welfare U-turns b) the £10bn-plus increase in headroom c) scrapping the two child limit d) bits of other spending eg higher local gov costs 🤷🏻♀️
