My favourite musician (aka my youngest offspring) performing with their beautiful band in Leeds on Thursday

I'm so sorry, that's horrible 😞

Agree. @greenparty.org.uk are the only ones supporting workers right now.

I love your conclusion. I'm not a world expert on anything, but I value the reminder that the education I've been lucky enough to receive is something to be shared generously, humbly and kindly.

The badgers however are delighted by the prospect

I hear it so often, it makes me feel sad - and then when I'm the client I can absolutely feel the pull to say it too.

It's really hard for some of us to feel safe enough to imagine the other person believes our experience matters. But life changing when we get there.

A weekend late but you're right on both counts!

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

Thank you for sharing him with us. We share your sadness too.

Really appreciate what you've written - I aspire to the "non defensive sharing of power" and you've expanded on what that might look like so beautifully.

Absolutely had me with getting going when the going gets tough

We have some in Leicester. My kids primary school had a batch leading up to the zebra crossing. We grew quite fond of their creepy presence.

"Even though our roles as therapist or clients are well defined, transformation is not limited to the client’s experience. Therapists would do well to remember this humbling truth, in order to examine their role in this relational giving and receiving."

Not sure that the words Telegraph and standards have any business being in the same sentence.

Really hoping it's the getting worse before it gets better kind of worse. But regardless, it's horrible for you.

I'm sorry - that's really rubbish. I wish there was a way of undoing the harm.

Was about to comment with the same

I remember that post religion fear that I was being punished... it's horrible. If there's a god of any kind though, I'm certain that god would love who you are.

Fairly sure I'm one of the two?!

Beautiful!

Will be rustling up a batch at the weekend now!

The Church of England is still treating gay people as second-class citizens Bishops voted 34-0 to block gay couples from being blessed in standalone ceremonies. At what point do we call this discrimination?

“And this debate is, I think, less about gay people than it is about who gets to hold that power.”

Can you manifest a few more arrests please?

And want to distract us from other, even more distressing (for them) events.

I think we could argue for the "wrong side" being the one where a decision was made not to broadcast the vocal support for Palestine but to fully broadcast the n word. That was a choice. And not a good one.

Don't get our hopes up!

Yes, I can see how it would struggle to even look average, it really is stunning.

Grey clouds, hillside in the background. In the foreground is the ruins of a large abbey, with gravestones like tiny shapes in the foreground. It's all quite atmospheric.

Visiting youngest offspring and it turns out Bolton Abbey looks great on a drizzly February afternoon
