Yesterday was Not the Voids penultimate meeting of 2025, we meet again at 3pm on Sunday the 28th December. We'll have survived a whole year. The candle was lit for everyone we lost to suicide and everything we've lost to deep dark places that feel unlivable.

Emma badger, in my profile pic (now sadly RIP) used to sit, dog like, waiting for her food. She learnt the sound of the door opening and would come and sit outside when she heard it.
Helped with the old OCD cos she'd do this when I checked the door and I didn't want to overfeed her.
