Just as well those committing wrongs against the RNLI are not holding placards supporting a proscribed organisation, else they would really be in trouble.

Losing my mind while doing some research for my creature design lecture that the closest relative to the maned wolf is the bush dog. Like there has gotta be a fable where the maned wolf took all the leggie from its cousin

Heartened to see both this statement from BYM Trustees, and especially to see this as a pull-quote, as it seems to be at the heart of Quaker support for trans and nonbinary people (& others).

Things To Do With Potatoes Throw a potato on the ground behind a stranger, then say "Excuse me, you've dropped your potato!". If they deny ownership, pull another potato from your pocket, saying "Well it's definitely not my one". Hide a potato in a pair of shoes at a bowling alley.

At this morning's Newcastle Christians at Pride Service we were invited to reflect on what Pride means to us. My answer has changed over the years, as I have changed and the world has changed. This is part of it now:
A lesbian priest goes to Pride

“Are you a real priest?”
You dance towards me shimmering 
with sequins and sass, and courage 
that comes hard won.

“Will you bless me?”
And something dancing in your eyes
that looks like longing,
long denied.  

I raise my hand. 
Around us hands raised
with the beat of
defiant joy. 

I raise my hand:
“The blessing of God…”
more than almighty, 
more than holy, 
wild and free and
dancing out of reach,
weaving us
into the crowd.

This blessing bounces off a glitter ball,
refracted with the light,
broken shards of glory clinging
to our clothes, 
snagging on fishnets, 
sliding over slicked-back hair,
landing lightly on tattooed biceps,
scars, jackets worn like armour. 

It follows me home, 
this blessing, 
trailing after me as if
reluctant to leave the party, 

follows me to the altar
with the dawn,
dancing through stained glass:
cracked beauty on immaculate linen. 

I raise in my hands
sparkling silver and bread:
“this is my body.”
In my hands, my body, this body,
the blessed and broken meet:
the pulse of last night’s music
echoing into shining silence. 

Yes: I have never been more real.

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

Govt telling young people it's not safe for them to access the app the govt uses for all its online communication so they have no choice but to be restricted from seeing it? What message is that sending exactly? You're admitting Twitter is dangerously unregulated but also condoning it by using it?

Face reveal. Wrong answers only.
A picture of the 'Thatcher illusion' - a photo headshot of Margaret Thatcher upside down. The eyes and mouth have been cut out and reoriented relative to the head. With these features the right way up and the head upside down it looks slightly odd. If the picture is turned upside down so the head is the right way up but the eyes and mouth are upside down it looks grotesque and unsettling, almost demonic (even more than Thatcher usually does).

This is both true and not true. True in the sense of that’s how many burials have happened, minimum; not true in the sense that the overwhelming majority of those were children under five, whose bones return to the earth more quickly and leave less physical trace. The earth shows the weight of love.

Happy 13th anniversary to that terrible misunderstanding at a WI meeting.
PARKHAM WI: The speaker at the April meeting was Captain Colin Darch, who talked about piracy embarrassingly the WI all dressed as pirates for the evening not real-ising that Captain Darch was going to be talking about his experience of being held hostage by Somall pirates rather than piracy in general.Captain Darcy with a group of WI ladies who are dressed as pirates. He’s quite chipper despite everything.
