I know they’ll be butthurt by being called this, but ICE = Sturmabteilung, the Brown Shirts. Straight up Nazi shit.
ICE rip woman’s clothes off and drag her. ICE arrest father and two children and subject them to torture.

Shout out to all the grandmas and grandpas who got arrested in London over the weekend. You get it.

Meanwhile, to the police doing the arresting? Is that what you signed up for? There are ways you can make a real difference.

In Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi's 90s research on creativity, he identified that one of the places highly creative people find they have the freedom, the safety, and control to be creative, to do creative incubation, is in their car.

This is the book:
Cover of 'Creativity: the psychology of discovery and invention' by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

YouTube *really* want me to watch this @dropout.tv video AGAIN, for a third time, and I don’t know why they are suggesting that. #hii’m50

My favourite fact from this was having a number written on your arm like you’re taking part in a triathlon. Which isn’t entirely wrong….

The Domestic Kitty's version of hunting for food.

I'm having such a great day.

I know everyone is psyched about the way Gavin Newsom is dealing with that orange tyrant, and I get it.

But don't forget he happily gave his own platform to human melanoma Steve Bannon and formerly-secular-turned-chri$tian-nationali$t Charlie Kirk.

All I'm saying is, don't get too excited.

For the first time ever I let the #cat sleep on my bed last night. She woke me up at 4am by very gently tapping my face and hands, and meowing softly. Then she climbed on my stomach and made biscuits. It's the most #love I have felt in a very long time.

Satan wasn't saying Job was a gold digger.
In the style of Kanye West ft. Jamie Foxx's single 'Gold Digger', it's God featuring Satan, with a picture of Job crying out to God.

In 'The Elements of Style', Strunk Jnr. and White tell us "A sentence should contain no unnecessary words."

The same could be said of headlines. Here is an example:

#writingadvice #editing #fixeditforyou
clhwindsor demonstrates Strunk Jnr & White's advice to remove unnecessary words by changing a Wall Street Journal Headline from 'The U.S. Marches Toward State Capitalism With American Characteristics' to 'The U.S. Is Fascist'.

I often think about this quote from Doris Lessing, and how her actions may have been received in the 1940s (when she left her husband and children), and how they may be received now.

"There is nothing more boring for an intelligent woman than to spend endless amounts of time with small children. I could have stayed there and become an alcoholic like so many of the women in Souther Rhodesia, or I could get out and do what I wanted to do, and I decided to do the latter." Quote from Doris Lessing.

What more do you want?

Does this quote scare you, or make you feel connected to the universe?

#secularism #humanism #atheism #science #universe
What more do you want? The ingredients in our bodies were assembled in the hearts of long dead stars over billions of years, and have assembled themselves spontaneously into temporary structures that can think and feel and explore, and then those structures will decay away again at some point, and in the very far future, there'll be no structures left. So we exist in this tiny window where we can observe this magnificent universe. Why do you want any more? A quote from Dr Brian Cox.

Do you think there's a difference between 'Big C' creativity and 'little c' creativity?
