I don’t know how it can be both agile and fragile but I don’t make the rules. Actually come to think of it, I’m not sure how it can be both idea and standard either.

Hmm often thought Moldova could be next: one of few places left in Soviet sphere that is outside NATO and has vague/disputed borders to give (supposed) credibility to an interest. Perhaps Russia’s incapacitation in Ukraine makes this a fantasy for now and underlines how Ukraine is protecting Europe.

Only just become aware of this magnificent photo of Katharine Hepburn outside her house. I often feel like this.

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

When landowners say they it doesn’t matter who owns land but instead it is how it is managed that matters, I always ask if I can have their land & they can continue to manage it. I have had no takers yet.

A fascinating birch trunk found whilst exploring the Caledonian forest. It was hollowed out, mobile, and felt like it had very little weight to it. An interesting selection of mosses and lichen taking advantage. I think maybe Cladonia and ochrolechia? #scotland #birch #lichen #moss

I’d love to imagine that Avangarde’s polling methodology is really off the wall and not approved by other more mainstream polling companies. Maybe they knock on people’s windows or only use second la fishes or use tea leaf readers or something.

This is not news. Of course he does. The news is that the Scottish Government doesn’t know how to respond. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Looking forward to the funky electronica track with this as an underlying recurring sample.

The 2018 Miss Argentina was from Concepcion del Uruguay. Part of the competition was to see who could get the most votes over social media, and the representative from Concepción did very well. People sneered "she only got all those votes cos she's pretty" but that's just a popular Miss Concepción.

Went to the (sort of) secret waterfall today. Not as impressive as the spate in winter but scenic nonetheless.

Every day a new atrocity in #Gaza. And still the UK supplies lethal weaponry to the Israeli government. There is a term for this: complicity in genocide.
