Do Reform groupies hear about Brexity millionaires living it up in Europe and think, “fair play”? And not….

Dinky little long eared bat thought he'd found a great winter roost behind a disused loo at a heritage site in Cumbria. He was unexpectedly uncovered during work, came into care for a check up and added 20% to his weight in two days. Such a sweetie, he goes home tonight. #lovebats #batcare 🦇🥰

Our abusers did not just hurt us-- they programmed into us a story about who we are & what we deserve that sounds very convincing, because we were vulnerable when it was conditioned into us.
Their story about us is just BS (Belief Systems-- but also the other kind of "BS").

For the first time in over 10,000 years, a long-silent volcano in Ethiopia has erupted. 🌋🇪🇹
Nothing like this has ever been documented in modern history. 🤯
The blast was so powerful that its ash traveled across continents, reaching countries far beyond Africa.
