Just putting it out there, but I think we should put warning signs on people like we do with harnesses for nervous or antisocial dogs. Or you know, the "I may bite" signs in petting zoos.
By people, do I mean me? Yes. Yes I do. But there's certainly room for expansion on this enterprise.

As America reverts to a more distant historic strategic posture then we must revert to ours. Defending our island by building alliances with friends on the continent to defeat those who seek to dominate us.
We’ve done it for 500 years. We’ve got this.

What an incredible, brave woman.
This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

The whole point of studying the 1930s is to foster hyper-awareness.
We should be nervous, pessimistic, jumpy. We should call out the first rumblings, the accidental tells, the faintest glimmers.
Because it was so monstrous that even the whiff of it is existential

Finished #TheMirrorandtheLight and let me tell you, it deserves all the awards ever.
Rylance and Lewis are stand out performances, obviously but the entire cast deserves a big old nod!

I know history teaches us that Thomas Cromwell is a bad man but the betrayals he suffers in #TheMirrorandtheLight are a shocker.

The one thing you never hear about when owning Staffies is how much time you spend tweezing their hair from your feets.
They have fur like splintered wood, I tell thee!

I was at work tonight and had to avoid all socials until I'd caught up on #TheMaskedSingerUK .
I just watched a person dressed up as a wolf smash Bowie and now I'm questioning the laws of attraction..

In a bid to avoid all the movies that get shown on repeat at this time of year, we stumbled upon Local Hero with a very young Peter Capaldi.
It's really a rather lovely film!

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.
‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

So having just learned there's a Mariah Carey version of Auld Lang Syne I've decided that, it is something I never needed to know and much less, hear again.
Thanks for that, This Morning 😐

Not me excited to spend the next 5 nights locked in darkness and near solitude, tucked safely away from the general public.
