One of the reasons I'm a hermit is that I am hyper-sensitive to the emotional states of the other humans around me. It can be paralysing. Lately, it feels like I'm drowning under waves of collective grief. Let's carry this heavy weight for each other when we can.

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

In a way, David Cameron’s referendum did stop his parliamentary colleagues squabbling about Europe; they and their former MPs are now focused on all the other nasty shit that really motivates people like Nigel Farage and has little to do with the EU.
