Lie about it, no one needs to know your age but your doctor. It’s an impertinent question. Give an impertinent answer.

Get an email from PlayStation saying I have to verify my age to use chat services and not that I’m chatting to any other gamers anyway but after a while it just feels like I’ll not be arsed to use most of the internet if it keeps going on like this

Petra always was the first in the dunes, when she and her friends rushed to the beach after school. In summer, she considered any sunbeam that didn't touch her naked body to be a waste of natural resources.

My watercolour of irises in a blue jug with a shell from 1987 (sold)

Here's one of my old watercolours of irises and other flowers in my favourite blue-tinted glass jug. I must have forgotten to photograph the original before I framed it because there are reflections in the glass. Not too bad a photo though in spite of that.

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

The new beech leaves are lovely to see too.

When Trump loses power, his assets should be liquidated and returned to the American people.

Flower watercolour from 1987 (all from the same garden as now)

Another flower piece from 1987. I worked hard on flower paintings at that time, enjoying doing them but pleased to get sales to pay the bills! This and the last one posted are scanned from film photos of the paintings taken at the time.

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

Busy planting up the pots and containers in the garden so I can paint from them in the summer sunshine. This oil was sold in 2022 and most years I prop up my easel here for some new work.

Commonwealth Court rules the state constitution includes a fundamental right to abortion • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Susan Frietsche, of the Women’s Law Project, said the Medicaid coverage exclusion was the single largest barrier to abortion access in Pa.

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.

BREAKING: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has RESIGNED.

Her exit follows a tenure rocked by multiple scandals—including an investigation into an alleged affair with a security staffer and accusations of drinking on the job.

Keith Sonderling will serve as Acting Labor Secretary.

Palantir's CEO published a manifesto arguing Western tech firms have a "moral debt" to US military dominance, that AI weapons are inevitable, and that "some cultures are dysfunctional." This isn't just a regularly evil tech or defence contractor, it’s a fascist political project.

Picture of my old ass dog, but he's super cute and he always lifts his right ear more than his left

My sweet Riley. He'll only be with us for another month or so... He's suffering and I'm just trying to put the money together to give him peace.
He's been such a good dog. When we lived on the east side of Milwaukee he was our guard dog and he's kept us safe ever since
