Truly what sweet dreams are made of 🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️

"You, Gods, are mighty and clever. But also vicious, bestial, and petty. You are superior to mortals, but what do you do with that power? Disguise yourselves, to indulge yourselves. Defraud, terrorise, and abuse your mortal children. You are the unstoppable ivy, strangling anything that grows tall."

This is so good ❤️🕷🕸

Good morning! Here is a three-day old sea-otter pup, snoozing on their Mama. The image is by one my favourite wildlife photographers, Suzi Eszterhas, who runs girlswhoclick.org - an organisation that mentors girls and young women interested in nature photography. Feel free to share.

So, incredibly happy for, and proud of, Hungary. And looks like PM might even manage 2/3rds needed for a deep constitutional undoing of Orban's feckery. If EU has *any* sense whatsoever, it will THROW MONEY at Magyar, like a drunk yuppie at a stripper. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c2...

“Every time Trump escapes his carer and locks himself in the toilet with a phone, the whole world is forced into a process of trying to build some rational scaffolding around his nonsense. We invent a skeleton for what is an amorphous blob, maybe just to self-soothe. This is part of the problem.”

This May’s elections are expected to bring chaos because our voting system is broken. I’ve written to my MP to push for fairer elections before it’s too late. It takes 2 minutes to do the same here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell... @compassoffice.bsky.social

You don't know what day it is. You're eating countless meals a day with lots of snacks in between. You're napping throughout they day. Either it's the time between Christmas and New Year or you're a cat.

Perhaps my bitchiest moment on any podcast ever. Naomi: "The OBR are looking for a new director after Richard Hughes fell on his sword." Me: "Deliberately or did he just stumble?"

"The point of the Inquiry was to learn lessons. Are we learning those lessons? Reports come out, they make headlines, people get very angry, but is any money or resource going into systems' reform and preparedness for the next pandemic or the next whatever?"
