The article is using 2023 stats on school readiness, but doesn't mention the impact the pandemic and lockdowns have had on this cohort at all.

What was the point of all that defense spending for for all those generations if the most powerful economy and military in world history was just going to be handed over to a single South African national by the host of The Apprentice in one weekend when nobody felt like changing their plans?

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

We're awaiting Storm Eowyn, so I am warming up leftover lasagne, have the stove is roaring in the kitchen, and I plan to listen to an old recording of Rosencranz and Guilderstern Are Dead and bugger about with watercolours for the afternoon.

My daughters asked how pianos were tuned just last week, and we lost about three very pleasant hours watching a guy tune pianos on YouTube.

I am sorry for the upset you're feeling right now, and I think it's important to acknowledge that there will be a lot of people, many from minoritised communities feeling really hurt and confused right now. It sucks. He is an appalling human.

Mailman by J Robert Lennon. It's been on my shelf for about 20 odd years and I never really got around to it until now. There's a few dazzlingly good passages, some laugh out loud parts, but a wee bit dense in bits. It could probably have done with being about 150 pages shorter.

I have an 8 year old currently absorbed in Judy Blume's Fudge series, and a 10 year old working her way through the - albeit updated - Nancy Drew books. Neither give a stuff about what's new, they just want a good read.

The concept of transgressive joy makes me very happy. Our joy empowers us. Makes us find meaning, purpose, community.
I know that people are hungry for it because I see it everywhere. I can feel it in my bones.
And I see it make a difference. We need to build our joy.
