That’s the universe telling you to camp in a roundhouse 🛖 Hope the rest of it goes better. Some of us from Flag Fen visited Butser to chat roundhouses the other year, and I was very envious of the IoA’s setup there compared to West Dean!

My psychotherapist godmother, who’s from Dublin, has a print of this in her consulting room at home, and I could look at the shapes and colours and let my mind wander for hours. Lovely to see it on here!

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.

Watching The Secret Garden for the aesthetics and Maggie Smith being plagued by the emotionally stunted kids she’s responsible for while their parent/guardian is off refusing to cope with his grief. As an adult, I feel sorry for Mrs Medlock. She’s under so much strain. It’s a wonderful turn.

Getting very, very, tired of the media etc al constantly blaming the lack of support and resources for neurodivergent people on those being diagnosed, rather than a failure of infrastructure and investment. This wouldn't be accepted for other groups. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Will Ferrell has an enormous audience of straight dudes who need to hear this. Nothing but facts here about anti-trans bigotry:

Will Farrell on his trans friend Harper and why bigotry needs to get over things that aren’t hurting anyone and are none ot their goddamned business.

Tessa just demanded compensation in biscuit form for going outside in the pouring rain to go to the loo, again, and she is absolutely correct.

Photo shows my dog Tessa reclining on a purple sofa, with my left hand giving her shoulder scritches. Tessa is a medium-sized mostly white dog, with black speckles, large black patches, and long black ears.

A disappointing follow-up to this: none of the sheep were able to go off to their new homes because there were a couple of cases of bluetongue virus confirmed in the flock. None of them will be able to travel for at least a few weeks. Trying to get rid of some sheep seems to be cursed …
