I don’t know if there’s some city-wide strike happening but not much work seems to be happening with the men of my city when I pass by today, I was particularly concerned about the super hot fireman who seemed to forget the pipes he was inspecting. Don’t know why he was looking at me, I don’t know anything about that type of thing, I’d be no help.

Mohammed raped a 14 year old girl and got 5 years less time in prison than Russell Brand
Don’t tell me there isn’t a two tier justice system
🚨 NEW: Man jailed for five years for penetrative sexual offences against a child in Merseyside.
• Mohammed Ajmal, 26, of Sefton Park in Liverpool, has been sentenced to five years in prison after being found guilty of sexual offences against a 14-year-old girl.
• The offences took place in Birkenhead and Widnes three years ago when Ajmal was 22. He contacted the victim on Snapchat, arranged to collect her from Wirral, and drove her to a flat in Widnes where a sexual assault occurred.
• A further assault took place in Birkenhead later the same evening.
• Following a three-day trial at Liverpool Crown Court, he was convicted of two counts of sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15 and one count of engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15.
• He was also placed on the Sex Offenders Register indefinitely and given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order lasting 10 years after his release.
I’m writing poetry again. For the first time in years. That’s a very good sign. Finally allowed to just be myself and be appreciated for it, no pressure to be someone I’m not. It’s nice. I like nice 😊

Oh my goodness, I’m having so much fun! Who’d have thought the man remembers my middle name from 23 years ago 😂

I’m no longer living in fear of someone’s reactions. I’m no longer trying to reconcile his words with his actions. I’m no longer exhausting myself trying to make a relationship work that was hurting me.
I’m safe. I’m free. And I’m finding joy in the ordinary little things again.
I haven't had to become hard-hearted to get here. I still have an enormous capacity for love, tenderness, hope and forgiveness.
The deepest hurt has passed, and that’s something worth celebrating.
So I spent the morning getting my country on with Hardy 😂 “Where ya at?!”

I had a super gorgeous moment with a handsome stranger today 😂 I had just dropped off an Uber Eats delivery (I’d been wandering the street trying to locate the business, I wonder if he saw that 😂), and as I waited to cross the busy road back to my car he must have been watching me, because no sooner had my foot hit the footpath, he said from 5 feet away, “Morning.” I looked up in surprise, because it’s not like I was actually passing him.
“Morning,” I said, and smiled a bemused smile. I got back to my car and was facing his direction to get in, so I glanced at him again, because gee was he a dish! And he had turned to stand there watching me and smiling still! So I quickly averted my eyes and tried not to smile as I got in the car, put my seatbelt on, looked up because my car was pointed in his direction, and he’s STILL watching me and grinning!
As I drove by I glanced over again and IT WAS STILL HAPPENING, him grinning like a terribly gorgeous Cheshire Cat! So I unleashed my smile and drove off giggling 😂 Sooo unexpected and very rom-com! Somebody’s got her groove back!

Russell Brand was just sentenced to over 10 years in prison today.
This is what Charlie Kirk said about him.

Following Jesus isn’t about “try harder to stop sinning to be more like Him.”
It’s about loving God so deeply that sin starts to lose its appeal. Obedience stops feeling like a burden and starts feeling like a response to love.
Today I was officially commissioned as Sacristan. It is very humbling, and I am deeply honoured to be able to serve the Lord… one of the young men who went through RCIA this year (which I and another woman co-facilitate) was also commissioned, and when I introduced him to my Mother (who had come to share in the special day), he beamed to her, “She’s my teacher!” Honestly, it is the Lord and Mother Church that are the teachers, I just do my best to convey the Faith through RCIA, but, boy, was I chuffed that he’d said such a sweet thing. I’m like a Mother Hen with he, his wife, and their three little girls, and I’m so pleased to see their journey Home be so fruitful! 🥰

I’ve always liked Russell Brand, which makes the allegations against him difficult to contemplate and difficult to come to a conclusion about, for me personally. But liking someone doesn’t mean they are incapable of abuse. Some people are extraordinarily convincing liars, men and women alike.
We cannot presume guilt, nor should we presume that someone is lying about being a victim. A person’s public image is not proof of their private character. That goes for everyone involved. And all too often, abuse occurs without leaving physical evidence or independent corroboration, making the truth exceptionally difficult for others to establish. Once again, this can apply to either side.
We owe everyone involved fairness, compassion and a willingness to acknowledge what we simply do not know.
I pray for Russell and for the women involved. Whatever the truth may be, it will come to light before the Lord. God knows what is hidden, and each of us will ultimately answer to Him. May He have mercy where He sees fit.
