Just skimming through my phone photos, deleting unwanted ones, I came across this one which made me think of Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings 🙂🥹

I just painted my kitchen yellow. The living room is already a warm, deep, resonant yellow 🌻🌞

*Goldworthy* 😐

The river made a slightly Goldsworthy-esque kind of thing 🙂
I’m having to wade through the river on my morning runs because they haven’t replaced the ‘unsafe’ bridge yet 🫤. After a period of heavy rains it will become too deep to cross safely 🥺.

Quote that caught my eye and made me think (from yesterday’s iWeekend).

Yes, it certainly is 💙(even though we know it is inevitable- at least we can be there with all our love for them at the end ❤️🐾🐾)

My beloved border collie died on August 5th. Still grieving 🥲

I enjoyed them both 🙂

I’m sickened by this belittling of the natural world. The government’s apparent ignorance regarding nature, particularly Reeves and Starmer, is appalling. They seemingly have no comprehension of the value of biodiversity and ecological homeostasis. Won’t anyone in the party speak up against them?

@nachtdufter While cat- sitting my sister came round and we watched 2 mildly scary films: Veronica (with subtitles) & Eli. My sister loves horror films and she chose them (she knows I’m a wimp when it comes to scary stuff). We enjoyed both of them 🙂 Veronica is supposed to be based on a true story 🥺

This is a useful summary of Hiller's work on this topic. I did have a short discussion in the book of the import of this for Barnes's claims about epistemic injustice (as opposed to the overarching project of defending a mere difference account of disability), but I think it mostly got squeezed out.

I was so sad to learn of this:
