For her performance of "Strange Fruit" a song about lynching African American people, she would silence the crowd, a spotlight on her face. On the final note, all lights went out and she was gone.... Singer Billie Holiday,1947 #WomensArt (Image by D.Hagerman)

If you are fortunate enough to live to a certain age, the losses you must endure and absorb into the fabric of your being start to add up. Each loss feels heavier than the one before, and at some point, you realize you are always moments away from weeping at the ever-present weight of absence.

First bird of my day: first time sight for me: a pair of kestrels perched on the wire. Wings touching. Chests made from the sunrise. Tender and peaceful. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It’s good to love mathematics and also makeup. It’s good to read the classics and watch Muppet movies. It’s good to see Shakespeare plays and collect graphic novels. It’s good to be curious about the world and open to new things without self-imposed limitations.

#Booksky #Bookclub I’ve been completely absorbed by this book - a very beautiful but densely written saga of an Egyptian family at the end of WW1. Definitely need recovery time before reading the rest of the trilogy.

I’ve been completely and utterly absorbed by this book. Definitely need some recovery time before reading the rest of the trilogy!

First bird of my day: the main garden gang of sparrows, blackbirds and ‘my’ Dunnock, feeling a bit sorry for themselves in the minus temperatures. Don’t blame them. Brrr. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours

First bird of my day: 7.03 a barn owl flies across my path. I gasp. In the drizzle, it is a piece of magic. A feathered unicorn. 7.04am a second barn owl flies across my path. I beam. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
