It’s the most wonderful time of the year to make up your own traditions, eat whatever you want, and enjoy some blissful peace and quiet.

Can confirm that dementia is kicking my family pretty hard today. We're starting to dread visiting my mum because of how the visits affects her - upscaled anxiety in the run up and then due to the small disturbances to her routine - how it impacts after. Often with falls and hospital

Today, on Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the trans people whose lives were taken too soon. It is a day of loss, but it is also a reminder that every trans+ life holds meaning, not only in grand moments but in everyday interactions.

Labour CHOSE this. This isn’t some gotcha, this is a policy proposal they chose to announce. Suicidal politics.
There was so much discussion of competence under Corbyn, and there were a lot of clown car moments there, but this lot put them in the shade.

I have not managed to get out into nature much this autumn due to various work deadlines so these are very lovely
Continuing the celebration of autumn’s beauty from the Cleveland Museum of Art collection:
🍂 Autumn Scene in the Adirondacks, 1877 by William Hart
🍂 Autumn in the Catskills, 1873 by Jervis McEntee
🍂 The Golden Hour, 1865 by Samuel Palmer
Each captures the glow & serene atmosphere of the season.
