I have read "British Fish" about a hundred times this morning. What an absurd notion it is to apply a nationality to a creature solely based on its location when you kill it.

Such a privilege once again, to witness people with dementia coming together for the first time feeling safe to pipe up without feeling stupid or that they'll be interrupted or corrected or struggle to get the right words out - a space to get a word in edgeways! @louiseheatley.bsky.social
