Night night sweet dreamies

Self-care is learning that you don’t have to explain yourself to everyone.
Sometimes peace is found in saying nothing at all.

Those who truly care will understand and those who don’t were never listening anyway

“Millions find comfort in religion.”

True.
But millions of women are oppressed in the name of religion, and millions more are excluded or condemned for who they are.

Comfort for some cannot excuse injustice for others!

Dennis went off to boarding school, and later Vietnam, rarely seeing his father for the rest of his life. His fictional counterpart, born in the optimistic 50s, remained sunny. There’s more about what an unspeakable shit Hank Ketcham was here:

If powerful people don’t want to be replaced by a hedgehog on money, they should simply behave as honourably as a hedgehog.

I think that’s Descartes.

There is no funnier train station sign than "Cambridge home of Anglia Ruskin University". Everytime I see it I'm impressed all over again at the level of trolling.

The Building Safety Act should be retrospective, and the fire brigade should have far more resources to investigate and prosecute.

Juries are not perfect.

Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.

But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.

They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.

Never miss a chance to tell my favourite science joke:

Q: What did Crick & Watson discover?

Belfast facing down fascists, 2024.

This International Women's Day, never forget who stood shoulder to shoulder with you on every demo & action. In N. Ireland, it's been trans, non-binary & queer people every single time. From abortion rights to facing down the far-right their paramilitary backers. This is what solidarity looks like.

Stunning views crossing a frozen lake last night. And the trail was firm and fast too, which made a nice change from slogging through wet snow (at one point the night before Pulkee and I were doing 1 mph).
