Happy birthday - the suit has travelled well.
Absolutely fabulous, I am 65 in June.
My gift
Forgetting -it’s a skill I’ve picked up later in life 🙃
Mine is putting things family leaves in the dryer back into the washing machine -together we are a full cycle - does that mean that alone we are only a unicycle?
Hi Claire, Garry here-the little blonde boy in that icon picture. I’ve not been on Twitter for months and I just strayed on here because of the backed up messages from these last few months. I’m glad I did because I saw your like of a message from ages ago. It reminded me that I had missed you.
The USA was only ever secondarily a democracy -primarily it is a Republic. Even the Rome of the Caesar’s still referred to itself as a Republic for 100s of years after it had become first a Dictatorship under Julius Caesar and then Emperors for 400 years.
Better to be chased than chaste.

In the sad town
cold iron hands clap
the party of clowns outside
rain falls in gray far away
please, please, Baby Lemonade
‘Oh mother tell me more
Why'd you have to leave me there
hanging in my infant air - waiting
You only have to read the lines as scribbly black and ev'rything shines’

Looking upwards at the under canopy of a date palm tree from the a perspective of the human who took this photo. There is a blue sky (not the app) in the background above the tree with a few speckles of white clouds.
Gorgeous couple - befuddled and/or overwhelmed with meaning.
Here is your date present from me.
Despite the speel about being billionaire proof the BlueSky butterfly is the perfect shape to superimpose an X on it.
Today I was emailed invited to join BlueSky after patiently waiting so much that I asked randoms on Twitter to give me a code 6 months ago - one did and I’ve since handed out 7 Twitter codes to other randoms who asked. With service like this the BlueSkys the limit for these guys.

After “Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania

Our Christmas tree made out of fairy lights attached with pegs to our curtains. This is the blue-green part of the Xmas light sequence.

Our first Christmas in 20 years without a Xmas tree. We’re trying to sell our house and the tree would have been way too much. Add to that a 10 month old kitten who would have quickly reduced it to an Exmas tree. So necessity and all that …I fashioned this.
What the F - time flies and lies!
Actually it’s probably better to think of it as a network of idiots dancing to the apartheid tune of a soulless marionette.
Perhaps they need to be reminded of an earlier sub stack - that would be the STACK of dead bodies, then set on fire by crazed SS officers because the owners of those bodies were considered SUB human.

Xmas throws it in sharp relief.
Mood
Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head!
I'm screaming, I met you this way
you're nice to me like ice
in the clock they sent through a washing machine
come around, make it soon, so alone...
please, please, Baby Lemonade

Ukraine is beautiful and as poet Keats sort to remind us: "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all. Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
Who’s on first?

My 19 yr old son has taken his new girlfriend to see The Boy and The Heron. This is the kind of thoughtful tender shared context for a date that he’s struggled with. I needed my heart melted this week, so there’s that too. 🙄

💙🙄The Doctor, Owls, My Generation - you’re in very good company.
Heavens to Mergatroid
I thank you all for these few moments of that generosity of spirit the ancients called ‘humanitas’. and ‘hilaritas’ [Auto-correct hates me- no such words (or concepts) exist in its fAscIst algorithm method!]
I will now return to the non -event horizon of social media -and suffer irony deficiency.🙄💙🫡
