From one of my favourite books of this year -Luke Kennard – Notes on the Sonnets
A reimagining of Shakespeare’s sonnets set in a joyless house party. It is sharp, witty, and at times unsettling
We have all been to parties like these, and sometimes wish we hadn’t

"But the cobalt' they scream "wont somebody think of the children"
Ignoring that cobalt is used in petrol refining, never removed and burned in normal use so we all breath it in
And the majority of EV batteries no longer use cobalt

3/3 Drug deaths are six times higher in the poorest areas. It’s a public health emergency – and politicians need to treat it like one.

1/3 Men in the poorest areas die 7 to 8 years earlier than those in richer communities. That’s a disgrace. No one should die early because of where they live.

I went way back into the archives for Day 2 of #ArtAdventCalendar for this jewelry box made from stained glass. Yes, it's all one piece and the drawers do open.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

70 years ago today, Rosa Parks changed history. Her quiet act of courage sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal part of the Civil Rights Movement. We must honor her bravery by continuing the fight for our democracy and rights.
