A majority of the world’s computing power is focused on creating revenge porn and targeting missiles instead of solving nuclear fusion for us. I don’t think I will ever understand why.

My kids often ask me about this. As in β€œwhat radicalised you, mum?” I just gesture broadly at…everything. And then my swearing starts up.

There is no other sane response to a world this cruelly messed up.

Young adult grey heron

Oh, the poor young #heron batchelors. These fools are too immature to pair up this year so they find themselves at a bit of a loose end. There are 4 of them. They come and visit with me for treats once a week. #greyheron #ardeacinerea

I like the trails left by snails on the front of the dead tv. The tv is dead but life just goes on. #beachwalking #musselburgh #scotland #patterns

Currently reading: this is an absolutely mind-blowing book. A comprehensive dissection of the CIA-backed shenanigans in #guatemala that began in the 1950s and cost 500,000 lives of mostly indigenous people. Genuinely insane and bloody escapades designed to sew fear and chaos too.

I am usually more of a cat person but I’m definitely getting into the joys of dog. My sister’s dog is a whole lot of fun. #cavapoo

My neighbours report daffodils are poking up! I can’t wait to get back. I need some spring. I’ve had my first snowblower experience here. Good but slow in these conditions.
