Lighthouse Wifie
An atheist #countingblessings for my #mentalhealth.
Likes tea, hot-water bottles, social justice, knitting, nuanced opinions, & sleeping.
Look North.
That's where I live.
Hence the hot-water bottles.
- The absolute silence of the audience. Shakespeare, writing about strangers - immigrants and refugees - in a play he co-wrote about Sir Thomas Moore #FuckIce #ThisIsNotADrill www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwxY...
- Yesterday was a 💩-fest of a day. But I do love clean sheets. And Radio 3. #mentalhealth #countingblessings #ablessingaday
- Some times this practice is harder than others. Those are the most important times to do it. Tuesday - the vibrant yellow of supermarket daffodils Wednesday - the colour and texture of velvet cushions #mentalhealth #ablessingaday #countingblessings Random pic of a bathbomb in a bath
- Ok, so Monday.... Oh dear. It's going to have to be the way that the cream in Baileys wraps itself around the alcohol. A shame-faced pleasure. Oh well. #drinkresponsibly - I mean this one! #mentalhealth #ablessingaday #dailyblessings Here's its origin story. www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...
- I had not thought of this before, but JL is absolutely right. It sits along the parental homophobia which used to wail "but what about my grandbabies....?" I am feeling tired and sick today. As we all are.
- Here is Neil Young before the 2008 election. And now we are reaping the whirlwind. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4kT... A few days ago, Young withdrew his songs from Amazon, & gifted them to the people of Greenland for a year. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j... Fuck Ice. This is not a drill.
- Sunday Once upon a time two years ago, Lighthouse Auntie gave us some enormous cushion covers. I bought 2 enormous cushions for them. Which were so over-stuffed that the zips in the covers broke. I now have 2 bin bags of discarded stuffing, & yesterday I fitted 2 new zips. Go me! #mentalhealth
- Saturday's delights included the joy, endorphins, dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin released by the laughter of playing Stramash. #mentalhealth #countingblessings #ablessingaday www.stramashgames.co.uk
- I have SO many things I want to say but words are tumbling in my head. Mainly FUCK you Hilary Cass for calling us ‘shroud wavers'. How FUCKING dare you? And also FUCK you JKR for your absolute betrayal of the trans kids who thought Hogwarts was a safe space. #translivesmatter #transrights
- Bruce Springsteen performing 'The Streets of Minneapolis' in the fundraiser for Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Tears and goosebumps at the same time. #FuckIce #ThisIsNotADrill youtu.be/f45KKVYrhN0?...
