I volunteer in a charity shop. We often get asked if we allow dogs in. I always reply "if they keep control of their humans"
Even the Harris Hawk which pooed on the floor was less trouble than many of the adults.

I’m so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions.

Listen.

I tried the β€œfaith” thing.

It’s just the idea that an all powerful being able to break natural law that created everything bcs it says so in a poorly written book is completely ridiculous and ludicrous. Bonkers.

In-fucking-sane.

No where near reality.

An unreasonable point of view.

I'm a bit of a book addict.
I'll probably die with at least a 3m pile of unread books.
Favourites are well-crafted crime/police procedural, and modern novels.
John Irving, Salman Rushdie (when I'm in the mood for long-form plots), Iain Banks, Ian Rankin, Robert Rankin, Joanne Harris, Peter May
