Also it is not a universal truth that 'men want to get laid'. It varies by person & context, like most of life.

The assumption if you want to you should be able to or even facilitated to is a bit...

Like most people I _want_ things that I cannot necessarily achieve.
Acceptance is also a thing

I love the way the sunflowers overlook everything else.

A joyous burst of yellow star like flowers, maybe rudbeckia / black eyed susan, in front of rich orange red crocosmia, and another shrub dotted with purple flowers. Planting next to the fence on a lane.

A patch bursting wuth wild flowers including poppies and cornflower, with a row of sunflowers spectating from the back row, in front of community woodland.

Friday joy
Plantings at the side of Redhall Park @redhallpark.bsky.social
They look glorious.

They were started by 1 person, now with @agordonsalive.bsky.social and others. The selfless care & effort that has gone into giving this gift to the community brings me so much restorative joy.

Thank you

Nice👍

Black and white photo of a tiny tabby kitten with a slight sad expression if you indulge in anthropomorphism, curled up in a round basket bowl, outdoors on a wooden house deck.

It's okay to sit in the bowl of melancholy for a little while, just not too long. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

The SNP has confirmed it will press ahead with its bill to formally recognise the state of Palestine unless Keir Starmer recognises Palestine at the start of the UN General Assembly. The SNP says the right of the Palestinian people to their own state must be based on ‘principle, not preconditions’.

How about the government does some things that make people’s lives better.

Then we can all be ‘influencers’

Our piggies had an Omlet piglu too!

Is that a piglu?
They look like lovely peegs. Hope they find a new family.

Nor I. Although perhaps I should while it is still there to go to.

Egads... talk about karma from the cat ladies.

All human knitwear models must learn this side-eye. They will never master the cuteness though

Nice views on Loch Katrine from Ben A'an

Why drop aid, why not bring it in on a great big boat? We have a few still.

Or would our 'ally' shoot at us if we did?

Àir drops are not enough.

A consultancy firm probably worked v hard (on getting paid a lot) for those "wellbeing" quotes.

There's always something,

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is calling on every single leader in the world: DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD & WATER INTO GAZA RIGHT AWAY. Even if it takes bypassing the reports, meetings, endless conferences, parliamentary sessions, UN sessions, and all the other regular diplomatic channels that have led nowhere. Just do it. Genocide must not be allowed to continue while we all watch. We must not allow mass starvation in Gaza. We cannot wait any longer. IF YOU HAVE POWER, USE IT. HISTORY WILL DEMONSTRATE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS.

DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD AND WATER IN TO GAZA.
This is from Lemkin Institute begging..... we are all begging.
