Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

You can RELISH a thing or situation.
You can REVEL IN a situation.
You cannot RELISH IN anything.
RELISH is a synonym of REVEL IN.
You would not say REVEL IN in.
Yes, this is a pet hate. Yes, I stop reading if I see this.
Please stop!

Today is 3 years since grandad died, and as much as I miss him, I'm glad he's not here to see Fascism raise it's disgusting head again. He gave up too much the last time,he'd be devastated to see what's happening now

Just been told I've got a weeks holiday to take before march. can't afford to go anywhere, got no one to go anywhere with, and can't think of anything worse than an idle week at home with family,I'd just end up working a 100hr week caring for nan while my mum had a holiday. What's the point

There's a woman at work who organises 'events' for morale. Mostly these are ok & for charity, but she can't "read the room" 😕 today, to combat 'blue Monday' she bought biscuits & cake (none of which were vegan, coeliac or allergy friendly).
I wonder if she even knows why it's called blue Monday?

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

I grew up in the Cold War, the UK had a war with Argentina when i was 9. I've seen the IRA, war in Iraq, European genocides, apartheid, a string of civil wars caused by imperialism and colonialism, bigotry, CND marches, coups and dictators.
And this feels like the closest to WW3 we've ever been

- Venezuela is larger than the UK
- The UK has oil and Gas reserves
- Anything is possible when a head of state has dementia and no one is stopping them

Found out my dad's sister died. We are not sad about it. She was an awful person. Stole from people she was supposed to be caring for. Lied to people about their friends to cause fights and stalked her ex-husband while his husband was dying.
We went no contact 10 years ago, she died 2 years ago.

Did I just order a bunch of craft supplies? Yes. Did I need them? No. Do they include long dead, scavenged things that will freak out my family? Of course! 😄

I coast along not feeling much of anything most of the time. But when I'm supposed to be celebrating I become acutely aware of how fucking miserable I really am.

I have a limited quantity of prints of these three artworks that I'm gonna put up for sale to hopefully raise me a bit of money while things have been rough.
The Pride and Izzy one have three sizes: A4, A5 and A6. Steddyhands I only have A4 and A5.

This train needs to move before I give in to the intrusive thoughts, and get off to hunt down a thieving arsehole and yell in their face
