Black sand beach with some graupel on it (cross between snow and hail) - the incoming waves have pushed it into some nice squiggly patterns. In the distance are some dark mountains and a storm over the sea.
I learnt a new word today: graupel, a cross between snow and hail - tiny soft balls of snow! Graupel fell on the beach at Stokksnes last night, and the waves continued to come in and made nice squiggly patterns.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

MetPol trying to intimidate Quakers into not holding/hosting meetings about non-violent protest.
Targeting a religious group with a protest tradition going back 400 years that has actively opposing inequality and abuse of power baked into their belief system?
Yeah, good luck with that.

Sorry to hear that, my little and ring fingers all have it from repeatedly bashing them into trees riding an mtb and it's not comfortable during a flare up.

Looked to add my daughter to a car insurance policy for a weekend so she can accompany my wife to a half marathon in another city and drive her home afterwards. £707 for 72 hours cover.
That's nearly as much as the train would cost.
Ouch - hope it goes well on Monday.
Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)

If you need a timeline cleanse you should know that Dexter Sol Ansell who plays Egg on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms went to school as Egg for World Book Day.

Press Association comment from Quakers in Britain This evening, for the second time in a year, the Metropolitan Police raided a Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists who were meeting there on the grounds that they were conspiring to commit a criminal act. The room in Westminster Quaker Meeting House was let to Take Back Power to hold nonviolent direct action training. Quakers support the principle of nonviolent direct action, which aims to protest without harming people. Oliver Robertson, head of witness and worship for Quakers in Britain, said: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. “Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. “That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.”
Statement from @quaker.org.uk about tonight's police raid on Westminster Meeting House. Guys, I don't think they're buying the Met's line about it all being a cover for plotting "mass shoplifting"
Which is some quite brilliant character writing.
What a way to communicate that this creature is ancient! To talk of him at all you have to go back before the Great Vowel Shift.
'Smaug' is a phonological fossil. And he's still alive. There's an appalling gulf of time in his very name.

religion is not Nazi crusader tattoos, bombing schools remorselessly
religion can be engaging with careful discernment, and trying to live truthfully
