โAt the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we will remember them.โ
Lest we forget.

Weโve somehow accepted a lifestyle where most of our waking hours are spent working just to afford the privilege of staying alive.
You earn money to cover your expenses, spend your days working so you can earn more money, and use whatever time is left trying to recover enough energy to do it all again.
Then, when someone questions this arrangement, the response is always that itโs simply part of being an adult.
Maybe weโve become too comfortable accepting a system that leaves people with so little time to actually live.

Honestly, I think we were happier before everything became digital. Give me handwritten letters, family photo albums, Saturday morning cartoons, and a telephone that stays on the kitchen wall.

Perhaps Iโm old-fashioned, but I would rather see forests filled with trees and wildlife, farmland full of crops and rivers running with water than the countryside covered in solar panels and data centers.

๐จ Rape culture doesnโt begin and end with an act of sexual violence.
It lives in the:
๐ด attitudes that excuse it
๐ด stereotypes that blame survivors
๐ด silence that protects perpetrators
There is #NoExcuse for abuse โ or for the culture that lets rape culture persist.

Britain cannot afford to lose farmers and farmland and then assume that food security will somehow take care of itself.
A country does not become food secure merely because its supermarkets are full today. Food security means having dependable access to food under normal circumstances and during disruption. It means retaining enough productive land, farming businesses, skills, infrastructure and processing capacity to maintain supplies when the world becomes less predictable. That distinction matters.
And right now, the UK government is failing to recognise and address this. They are failing on farming and food security in the same way they are failing on energy security.
Shameful.

A government that makes life harder for pensioners, disabled people, small businesses and farmers isnโt making a hard choice. Itโs picking on the people with the least room left to take another hit.
โจLook at who gets squeezed: the pensioner counting every pound before turning the heating on, the disabled person already fighting the system just to get through the week, the independent shop thatโs keeping a high street alive, the farmer working land that feeds all of us. You donโt do that by accident. You do it when youโve stopped seeing them as people and start vindictively seeing them as an easy target to grab their cash.
โจThere is a difference between asking the country to tighten its belt and going after the people who already have nothing much left to give. Pensioners. Disabled people. Small businesses. Farmers.
Punish those groups and you are not governing. You are revealing what you think those lives are worth.
The Labour government are rewarding public sector workers and screw everyone else.

Dolly Parton literally said โI canโt get anymore broke than thisโ and then left her childhood home and set off for her dreams.
Thereโs an alchemy to โrock bottomโ that can be the most potent launch point.
You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

In 1990, Dolly Parton went on vacation in Ireland.
She walked into a local pub in County Kerry and delivered a flawless performance of Coat of Many Colors.
A heart of pure gold who made people smile across oceans.

We have a solar eclipse, a meteor shower, a new moon, and a planetary alignment all happening today. Maybe the universe will reset a couple things. The universe's ctrl+alt+del?
