"Every life saved is a quiet revolution."

The words passed me by on a reel I now can't find, but folks we have to keep these words close. They're the ones that will allow us to see worth in effort no matter how little impact it makes on a larger society.

Small acts. One at a time. Done with love.

Too much introspection. As caregiver for my husband, I stay home most of the time. I spend a lot of time alone thinking. Lately, since I recently turned 70, I been reflecting on my life. That’s the thing you do in old age, towards the end of your life. Fuck. I’m not ready to be in that stage yet. 😠🚫

If you are in Derby, Tamsin is good folk in every sense.
People of Derby! I'm looking forward to being part of this event with a killer lineup on Nov 29th.

Callout for performers - if you know anyone who wants to come and wear one of my folk costumes for a freestyle performance please reply to this :)

It occurs to me now that the discipline of history was not born out of reverence for the past, but rather out of somebody watching the people in charge make the most insane decisions and just being like “if I don’t write this down nobody’s ever gonna believe any of it happened”

You might be tied into a bank whose suddenly using your cash for investments you dont agree with, but consider you could start your kids savings off on a better footing.

If youre not UK based just have a look out there for a respectable .org

Wes Streeting: starting next year the NHS will launch automatic menopause screening for women over 40.

Why? Why now. Is this just to find an untapped market for private health care, or to find out how many women won't be of childbrearing age for the new dawn of government controlled misogyny.

You can change a buildings purpose. Rip out all the machines that used to live there. You can call an old factory a visitor centre, a museum, a heritage site – don't change what it was. Remove and remake all you want, you can't erase its ghosts. It stays haunted. – John Peck #VOH #Ghosts

Looks like Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen was given free range in one epic episode of Changing Rooms and just sourced a bargain trailer load of molded appliques, a tub of No Nails and a shit ton of gaudy gold acrylic and pva.

A schoolteacher friend told me the kids in her class believe the Stay Belows are now 'at mud'. Usually such gossip is a good signal of how things are. However, my trip to Wystan Lumb suggests otherwise. The shadows in the water still whisper. – #EmilyCBanting, diary entry November 15th, 1982

If youre a manager in retail, please fucking think before you complain about one employee in front of others. Also maybe not send a suicide survivor back into the dark because they cant cover a shift.

You can choose to sound and act like a cock or you can act your pay grade and suck it the fuck up.
