Here's a pic of her in what has become her 'main bed' - an old sheepy in the small dog crate. There's a blanket over the top of it that hangs down over the front as a sort of curtain. She's just had her breakfast - half a tin of kitten fancy feast, microwaved on a low setting for about 20 s✨

We trapped this wee cutie yesterday in the barn, and she has managed to bite right through a pair of thick leather gloves and break the skin when I was holding her to apply flea treatment.

Poor thing is only about 5 mths old if that. Local cat rescues are FULL so we are putting her up and...

I couldn't sleep last night due to pain, and found this in audiobook form at my library. I'm a third of the way through and it delivers on every promise made by the title and cover for ridiculously entertaining silly nonsense. Best use of the phrase: the Roman Empire has fallen 😂

This front page of Stuff and headline really shows who our media considers to be people and whose bravery gets a headline.

Thinking of all the mothers in Palestine trying to protect their babies from genocide. They are no less brave than this woman.

My mental health is rocky as at the moment, and so is my partner's. Everything seems heavy and the vibes are fucked.

Anne Boyer's poem 'What resembles the grave but isn’t' helped me when I read it - maybe it will help you too ✨

The right wing manufactured rage nonsense machine is mad about Biden eating ice cream.

Early in the genocide, Palestinians in Gaza used ice cream trucks to store bodies because the morgues were full.

Now children in Gaza are dying of starvation.

Blaming Hamas for the genocide and war crimes that Israel is committing is straight up abuser logic - 'look what you made me do'.

World leaders sure have a lot of energy for (rightly) condemning Russia/Putin for Navalny's murder. Compare it to their echoing silence about Hind's murder by Israel/Netanyahu.

And our media is complicit.

Horror upon horror upon horror. I have no words only tears. May everyone committing, enabling, and cheering on this genocide never know peace.

I re-read Hogfather because I *needed* to read this bit. Holding on tight to ✨believing✨ in universal human rights and justice at the moment.

Certain *choices* are being made by Stuff - 2 of 4 stories about King Charles' cancer, minimal coverage of Waitangi Day🤦‍♀️

I am somewhere between 😂 and 🤦‍♀️ that when you ask for the "the dip recipe" we do all in fact know what you mean 🧅

Very much agree with this and think its an important enough point I wanted to share here (don't think Kyle is on here).

Here's how mine turned out 😆

I ate the less burnt bits out of stubbornness but 🤞 my next kitchen experiment works out better. Will have to find other ways of using up courgettes✨

This puts into words what I've been feeling. Where is our freedom of speech, if we do not speak against genocide? Where is our democracy and our rule of law, if our elected leaders aid and abet genocide?

Something for all of us to keep in mind for this year, from Ruth Ben-Ghiat's excellent and very readable 'Strongmen: How They Rise, Why They Succeed, How They Fall'.

I made 'Pistachio, Courgette and Lemon Cake' from Joudie Kalla's cookbook of Palestinian food, with the first courgette of the season from our garden. There are some gorgeous looking recipes in this book 😍

Partner noticed this mottled skin on my left lower back. I remember reading something ages ago about how this can happen with prolonged heat pack use (which is me for chronic pain in that area) and that it's not a good sign. For now I'm stopping using heat packs until it hopefully clears up.

For anyone making pav this is what I do with the leftover egg yolks - they get turned into the topping I use in place of whipped cream✨
