Posting was halted as we went through security, but before that we were given NEW boarding passes. We’re all sitting together now. We weren’t before 🤔 Anyhoo… now the excitement is all about what time will we get on the 9:12. Yes, I know it’s 9:32. #Eurostar #Chaos #Day2

Now, I don’t want to jinx things, but the 9:12 line is moving closer to passport check.
Kiddo is wondering if it’s OK for staff to say to customers: “break your face on the escalator or wait two minutes to find out if the lift is working. “ I think it’s ok,

Heard about this before… and I’m sure I could sleep like this.
For those whose sleep is negatively impacted by the seasonal changes of the clock - might biphasic sleeping be of any assistance? @drpam outlines evidence that suggests this might be a more natural way to sleep.
Getting back to sleep: understanding biphasic normality
Can some previously little-known information about our ancestors’ sleeping patterns help us to better understand modern insomnia?

The current U.K. government is such a disappointing shit show, and what this woman describes is tragic. Aaah!
I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

When anti-terror laws were introduced, opponents said they'd abused.
Making Palestine Action a terrorist organisation akin to ISIS is deranged behaviour.
History will damn how opponents of genocide were branded terrorists, while war criminals were armed and feted.

Agree. I feel total despair looking at Izreal killing with impunity because they’re playing narcissistic political games. Who will ever stop them?

A shape has layers of being. Take a square,
at first a mere quadrilateral with four sides.
Later add corners,
and four equal sides.
Later still a square is a rectangle,
but not all rectangles are squares.

Skipping through the just watered grass barefoot, she dances on the hot concrete, till she finds her abandoned flip flops and slips them on. Then she squints at her hand, her palm pink one side, her skin brown on the other. She is four. In this moment, she knows she is other.

I’ve been seeing these #Vss365 things recently. It took me a while to find out what it was and where to get the prompt (Septimus Brown until June 15), but it’s fun. Photos, poetry, six word stories, or micro-fiction. It’s all honing your writing craft, surprisingly fun and HARD.
