This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

I'm not surprised by trump's disgustingly negative attitude about disabled people.
It's who he is, and who he's always been.
This should have been the end.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Wesley decided he wanted to share the couch so he walked all over my stuff until I made space. Seems happy now.

We had a dozen bees feeding on Clematis cirrhosa in the back garden on Tuesday. A beautiful and useful plant.

For me, Sarah Sackman makes a well argued and convincing case for supporting the bill.
Sarah Sackman, MP for Finchley & Golders Green & Solicitor General, just published her letter to consituents on the assisted dying bill.
It's thoughtful, compassionate and shows how carefully MPs of all parties are approaching this challenging issue.

Anyway, thank you, Paul Kinsella.

Unforgivably cruel, and for what?
Snares are still used across England despite bans in Scotland & Wales. These cruel traps kill 1.7M+ animals yearly, often targeting foxes & badgers. Protect The Wild is calling for a full UK-wide ban. Share if you agree it’s time to end this suffering!
