I'm an autistic Cov kid married to a Cov kid with chester kids. love God, wildlife, history and yes the men in my life. My Fibromyalgia can just bog off !
For a fair bit of the last 3 years it’s been a struggle for me to stay on the planet-I believed others’ views of me as a human, which are not good at all. Very very slowly though I’m rewiring my brain & am beginning to see value in myself, despite my neurodivergence, differences & the things I really struggle with. I just noticed my winter-flowering cherry tree is opening its flowers today. Ngl it made me cry a bit-I’m actually happy that I’m still here to see it 🌿
Trump’s “Ukraine” plan is not a peace plan. Like all his plans it is a grossly 1-sided pact cooked up with a strong man (with commercial deals on the side). It betrays Ukraine, the Western alliance and our most fundamental values. When are we going to admit what is happening?

Vladimir Putin: Do Fuck Off!
Saving our churches is saving something fundamental about Britain itself, the Britain that still believes in fairness, hospitality and humour. The Britain that knows how to queue politely, laugh at itself and show up when someone needs help. The Britain that looks after one another quietly and without applause…We need to see these churches not as burdens but as gifts; as the infrastructure of kindness.

Sometimes she read as she walked. The grey gilt light and the scent of damp leaves and woodsmoke from the farm. Crows in the fields, the mist rising from the river. The anticipation of hot chestnut soup and bread with cheese and apple dumplings. And she never felt melancholy, never, for her soul could rest and soar in the darkening autumn months, when no demands were made upon her, no tiring expectations of society or travel or that particular form of forced vivacity which made her tired to the very bones.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
