Glasgow - latest. Building near Central Station very on fire.

An Indian woman dressed in a traditional blue sari embellished with gold borders and a pink dupatta walks along Chengam Road, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu. She carries a heavy load of waste collection on her head. Another in her hand bears the brand name Coromandel India Cements, a common manufacturer of building materials in the area. In the background is Sri Kaliamman Temple, along with yellow and black auto-rickshaws, vendors, overhead power lines and a high mast lighting system to illuminate the surrounding area.

I'll never be your
beast of burden
My back is broad,
but it's a-hurting
I'll never be your
beast of burden
I've walked for miles,
my feet are hurting

Rolling Stones, 20th century

A riverside path lined with leafless trees in early spring, their branches arching over a grassy bank covered with bright yellow daffodils. The river stretches calmly to the left under a vivid blue sky with scattered clouds, and distant buildings and port cranes are visible on the far shore. The scene feels fresh and peaceful, with the daffodils forming a long golden ribbon along the water’s edge. 🌼🌿🌊

On Tony Blair’s intervention…
1) Well, he would say that, wouldn’t he…
2) It’s not “America asking”. It’s Trump raging…
3) Seriously now… STFU.

Large stones arranged in a circle in a field. Within the circle of larger stones, there are many smaller stones.

The Dragon's Teeth • Beaghmore • Tyrone

The foothills of the Sperrin Mountains has a wealth of prehistoric monuments.

This Bronze Age stone circle at Beaghmore is filled with hundreds of small upright stones, earning it the name ‘the Dragon’s Teeth’.

I wish this point was made more often
1989 I came out. It's not illegal to use the bathroom
1994 I started medical transition. It's not illegal to use the bathroom
1997 I socially transitioned. It's not illegal to use the bathroom
2026 I've to check a map to see where it's legal to use the bathroom

It’s always a great read. #Speirghorm
