I am currently writing up a paper I am giving in a few months. It's about the female experience in Glamorgan County Lunatic Asylum. I've just rediscovered a woman who stole an attendant's clothes, escaped by jumping the fence, and was never seen again. I hope she had a good life 🙏

Hard - but important - to look away from the news at the moment. Granted, it’s easier in some places than others…

If you’re drawn to a politician because they promise to be cruel to Muslims or Jews or immigrants or gays or transgender people etc, the least you should do - the absolute, bare bones, still morally vacuous least - is ask yourself whether they’re likely to stop at the group you want to see targeted.

It might be time to stop treating Farage as if he's some sort of special confidante of Trump. The human skid mark hasn't got a clue what's going on in the White House, as the Chagos situation demonstrated, or what on earth Trump will do next.

Trump fans have to go along with all the lies because if they didn't, the really big lie - the white supremacism & racism - would start crumbling. And they love that lie sooo much...

It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024. What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day. Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

Seeing Kemi Badenoch respond to matters of unprecedented geopolitical importance reminds me of an anxiety dream I used to have about agreeing to play drums at a charity concert with the Rolling Stones & remembering on the night that I can’t play the drums.

Pause, breathe, reset. Whenever you feel overwhelm creeping over you, return to your breathing and come back to the present moment. Even a couple of minutes of mindful breathing can ease the anxiety. May your day be calm. ☺️ #Cornish #beach #nature #sky #sea #ocean #calm #peace #photography #life
