A visit to Scotland after 9 years. A Santana concert, after an awfully lot more than 9 years. Perfect end to a fabulous trip. 😊

Apparently, the law of the inter is, that the first time you see this you have to share it. You're welcome! 😊
the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...
World Central Kitchen | WCK Forced to Halt Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Run Out
After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.

This "debate" about who should use what toilet doesn’t benefit anyone. It doesn’t fix the underfunding of women's refuges, NHS waiting lists leaving women in terrible pain, mums skipping meals to feed their kids. How about we get on with tackling the real issues affecting women?

After what feels like months of gloomy weather, March is off to a sunny start. Lots of people enjoying the sun and surf in Woolacombe today.

More to say on burnout and I'm probably going to boost it a few times because folks need to hear it:

Burnout is a form of brain damage. It happens when stress conditions persist until they damage our brains.

It's an injury that needs to heal, not a weakness that needs to be pushed through.
Man burnout can mess you up for a very long time.

And it can sneak up on you: things can seem stressful but mostly manageable until suddenly they're not manageable.

Self care and vacation are great, but they're guardrails: they don't help when you've already fallen in.

Regardless of the mechanisms, stress is harmful to our mental and physical health.

Decreasing stress in these times is incredibly challenging and I wish I had the answers for you all on how to do that. Maybe ask @drjessigold.bsky.social ?

In the meantime, here’s a hug!
