The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

Something I was thinking about earlier, for no reason:

I've had one done. The first week or so was rather miserable but last time, after six weeks, we went away to Spain in our camper van & I was absolutely fine.

I managed to shuffle along to the sea at Rye Harbour yesterday. I'm going in for a hip replacement on 14th November. I had the right one done 4 years ago. Now it's time for the left one.

THE DUCKING STOOL by NICK BLACK

Knowing that the plunge
Will come, the certainty of it
Plucks me bare
Aloft, still wet here in December air.
Each wind-soughed stir
Of this wooden frame
Creaks that the waters will have me again
Only a question now of when
And for how long they’ll keep me under.

I only just 'discovered' Rachel Cusk. My friend lent me 'Transit' and now I'm reading 'Outline.' It's so good to discover an author for oneself. How did I not read her before?

But the machine can't have a dicussion about these issues. The morality of supply-chains, for example.

A PRAYER FOR THE FISH IN THE TUB by ZoΓ« Rose With just enough water in the tub to sluice through its gills as it thumps its caudal fin and arches its spine the carp could stay there for far longer than it will take to prepare the vegetables for ...

We are halfway through our submission period for theme: #Integrity!

We have far fewer subs than usual (do you all not like the theme?) so if you’re on the fence about submitting β€” your chances of being selected are higher than normal!

Send us stuff!!!
