The great thing about Britain is you're free to think whatever you want to think and say whatever J. K. Rowling's lawyers permit you to say.

Photos taken today. It's July. The world is frying. All the streams and traditionally "year-round puddles" have dried up. I wouldn't want to be a wild animal right now.

I realize FIFA are busying with fixing the World Cup, but have they got anything to say about this? Maybe award Israel a peace prize?

It's probably time European journalists wrapped their heads around Heat Index (temp + relative humidity). In high humidity, sweating is less efficient, making heat worse, e.g.: Experiencing 35°C in London UK (70% RH) is more dangerous than 50°C in Phoenix Arizona (15% RH)

I'm a happy little agnostic, so today is generally about opening up a package of peeps so it can get stale, or creating ridiculous scavenger hunts for the kids in the yard, rather than anything spiritual. That said, it's not a bad day for this poem / drawing of mine.
Poem and drawing.

The poem is titled "Damage." The first verse is on left side of the page, and the text reads:
"We live in such a disposable time,
throwing away and buying new,
in and out,
as easily as breathing.
Standing in the center of ourselves,
we move along from damaged things
before they can become
uncomfortable.
Before they make us think.
Make us work."

At this point the text of the poem shifts more into the middle of the page to accommodate the drawing. The remainder of the poem reads:

"We live as if the loss is all we have,
and injuries can never be redeemed.

But damaged isn’t broken,
and the whispers of the wrecking world
are often easy lies,
for we are neither perfect-made nor
sinful born,
and sometimes worth is buried dark-earth deep.
It need not be our nature to destroy
what feels undone,
or put too much belief in all the permanence of hurt
when we can be the tinkers of our souls,
and mend ourselves anew instead of
falling to the scrapheap of despair.

We do not need to be disposable;
it is only damage.

	– John Wyatt Greenlee"

The drawing is in black and white, and made of abstract shapes and lines. It looks very much like a human figure with long hair, standing and facing away from the reader, but angled to the right. The figure seems likely to be naked, and seems like maybe it has its arms crossed in front of it's chest. It also has weirdly small calves, and seems to be standing on its toes. Which is something you might do a lot of if you had short calves but still wanted to see over things.

Generally, the figure gives of a wistful vibe.

Today is Cardiff Pride, and the Big Queer Picnic too. I am at the Picnic, with a group of friends. It's a chill vibe, and a good day. This is the sum total of the gay agenda: live beautifully, and live free.

Christmas Vs reality. My seven year old's version includes the cat stealing baubles, kids throwing pies at each other and covered in cream, and the mum hiding on the roof. Not far off really 😂
A gingerbread house sitting on an old bright pink cake stand. It's clearly been made by a child, the sweet decorations are randomly placed, the icing is smudged, but it's full of love. There are two brightly coloured child figures, made of sugar, standing outside. They have smudges of white icing on their faces. There is a gingerbread Christmas tree with a bauble missing - it's next to a black cat on the other side of the garden. There is a brightly coloured "mother" figure wearing a red headscarf and carrying a cane, she is stood on top of the gingerbread house, contemplating her life decisions.

Using blue sky and twitter has increased my number of daily de ja vu occurrences immensely. Admittedly being very forgetful isn't helping this.

Finding five good things to refocus my brain. 1) This artwork by Taynee. Everything she draws resonates to me. ‘My plants are dying because I was sad for a while’ 🌱 www.tayneetinsley.com/?category=Dow…
Artwork by Taynee Tinsley. A naked red haired woman stands in front of a vortex/night sky made up of different blues and purples. She's draped in a blanket that mimics the colours of the ground. Drifting from her are brightly coloured flowers. She has freckles, and seems alone and distant.

I stopped using twitter and Facebook because everything got too close. Too many people who liked me followed me and would then be privy or react to the moments when I just wanted to shout into the void. Slowly I didn't have a social media where I was free to be the person I feel like inside.

Happy enough to do this, especially as there's a setting that requires my absent-minded ass to fill in alt text or I can't post. Not only is it better for accessibility, but you can add layers of humour n shit. Everyone's a winner!
