I just want your day to be as beautiful as this yogurt.

If you're not skimming the headlines and darkly humming
"We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things"

I'm not your kind of person right now.

"So your Holiness, where do you want to go before your birthday this year?"
"Take me somewhere quiet where I won't be recognised."

@alexantra @ioannaonline You know the author's never visited Nicosia when they haven't stressed they're referring to *old Nicosia*.

@vlietman Ah, friend. I miss being physically near you so much. I miss Australia before it lost its identity to Murdoch and the Scotty-worshipping boomer electorate. I hope Premier Dan keeps his word and you can return to masked normalcy next month. Meanwhile, start planning succession.

1/ It's R U OK day in Australia, where we check in on people in our community circle - close or acquaintance - and ask them how they're doing. This year stings because a lot of my people are not ok right now and they're struggling to articulate it. #RUOKDay2021

20/ I send love and strength and an open inbox for your despair and venting. I see you all and send so much love. [ends]

19/ Special RUOK to my friends who work in the human sciences: nurses, doctors, researchers, educators, mental health specialists, carers. You are entering the second year of this anti-science chaos.
