I’m behind Zelensky. He’s about the only leader in Europe with a backbone enough to stand up to Trump and Putin.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Not mad about this iPhone 15. Preferred my 2020 SE! I miss the home button, hate the way photos look and don’t like the look of this iOS 18. Apple kinda suck. 😕

Summer Moon

The rain, crazed like horses
In the flare of lightning, has gone.

Against the clear washed sky
Rain-drops on the twigs
Reflect the moon.

The slender-billed curlew was declared extinct this week - here, the Irish curlew (crotach) lost over 90% of its breeding population since the 1980s due to habitat loss from human activity. If we don't act, their bubbling call may be silenced in Ireland forever.

Just to be clear - I do believe Israel had a right to defend itself and Hamas need to be got for what they did and for what they do, but Netanyahu went way too far.

My first impression was that it looked like a rock star singer slaying it, holding their mic up high. On second inspection, it looks like a mammy soothing a bundled up baby.

Me too. Mine was at 33 weeks and nearly killed me. It triggers me when people talk so casually about having another kid even when they know what I went through.
