Me at 40: maybe if I stand really still and never speak again, I won’t fuck anything else up

This is a throwback to a magical #winter morning in 2021.

I don't typically include man-made objects in my images, but as I was walking to some of my favourite local ancient trees, I noticed the mist gathering under the bridge.

Upon dropping down to the shore of the Broadwater, I realised that the sun would rise behind the bridge. Then the magic unfolded shortly after a flock of geese flew over me and landed on the water.

Religion, homophobia, the pope 

Pope Francis getting applause and praise for literally just saying “I think it should be illegal to murder someone just because they’re gay” really highlights how low the bar is for Catholicism

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do learn from history are doomed to watch it repeated by those who didn’t.

--Oh and Florida banning (banning!) AP African American history ought to be enough of a mask off moment to wake up anyone who thought this was about some kind of historically unstable, politically charged courses. This is the got dammed college board and all the most moderate of moderate and boring voices in history.

So cannon you could put balls in it and sink a ship.

I can only assume they want young people to learn literal myths and legends. Chopped cherry trees and all instead.

Please don’t confuse what is legal with what is right. There is some overlap, of course, but not as much as one might think. Laws are generally written by the rich and powerful to protect their interests, often at the expense of the poor and weak. Many atrocities are lawful, and many acts of mercy are unlawful. I say this as an attorney.
