Somehow, the world feels like a better place now that I know that a gathering of ladybirds is called a 'loveliness'. So here's a loveliness of ladybirds on a twinklement of stained glass at St. Mary's, Brownshill, Gloucestershire.

Reminder, the iPhone 18 is made in Israel and it is full of unremovable hardware spyware. It is made to track everything its user does. You shouldn't use one even if you get it free. Definitely don't pay for your own surveillance.

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

Turns out that if you are an old lady with a banner supporting Palestine, the government arrests you on charges of terrorism. If you are a masked white male thug bringing a national port to a standstill, the government does absolutely nothing, and the media covers it like some lads on a day out.

My grandmother's brother was in a Scots regiment in WW1, so wore a kilt. He was once shot at so badly when running with a message from the front back to the officers, that his kilt was in tatters, although he was unharmed. He was consequently awarded the Military Medal for bravery.
