As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

RIFT @traversetheatre.bsky.social is a riveting piece of work. Based on the playwright’s life, RIFT asks how you relate to your brother when he’s a white supremacist in jail for murder & you hold radically different views. fringereview.co.uk/review/edinb... #edfringe

If opposing genocide makes you a terrorist & funding one does not - I don't care for your definition. If non-violent direct action to stop genocide makes you a terrorist - then I guess we all are. Sure, Mandela was one, too. We are ALL Palestine Action. ❤️✊🏽🇵🇸 @palaction.bsky.social #FreePalestine🇵🇸

The kindness that we all need right about now falls from every chapter. Thank you, @kitdewaal.com . ✨️. Not long after burying my mam 2 years ago, I was asked one question by a family friend. " How's your heart ?". It's simplicity, yet its depth as a question winded me.This book is the same balm .✨️.
