I'm still not over the European cover of Someone You Can Build A Nest In - which possibly wins my prize for "least suitable to the subject matter, though pretty".

Thank you to everyone who danced the sun up this morning, it's looking lovely.
If you couldn't help dance the sun up, you can always still go and vote for a country that's slightly better for everyone.

Sometimes the world is awful and all you can do is spend your afternoon painting overly elaborate protest signs.

Reading through the Supreme Court judgement now.
Relying on the "ordinary meaning of words" is an excellent way to ensure laws consistently discriminate against the marginalised, vulnerable and minority groups of a society.
Naming is power.

![Lord Nicholls’ important constitutional insight in Spath Holme, that citizens with the help of their advisers should be able to understand statutes, points towards an interpretation that is clear and predictable. As Lord Hope DPSC stated in Imperial Tobacco Ltd v Lord Advocate [2012] UKSC 61; 2013 SC (UKSC) 153, at para 14:
“The best way of ensuring that a coherent, stable and workable
outcome is achieved is to adopt an approach to the meaning of
a statute that is constant and predictable. This will be achieved
if the legislation is construed according to the ordinary meaning
of the words used.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xv4bids6dbvn45jnf4k2keco/bafkreifkxc6rp5qp4plqe2ckj4nramv2l7lqyez6qmrsjuo3oqe2qtwune@jpeg)

If you are in search of a beloved 90s fantasy author who has not turned into a deeply problematic person and indeed has got better at making her works more inclusive and less problematic, and confronting her own prejudices - Tamora Pierce is always an option (and has cool heroines)
