People pray to each other. The way I say "you" to someone else, respectfully, intimately, desperately. The way someone says "you" to me, hopefully, expectantly, intensely ... —Huub Oosterhuis

Love love love the real heat of the sun on my skin. The seagulls cruising overhead, casting beams of shadow. The blossoming everywhere as I too feel like I’m bursting into a new form of being.

I know I’m doing all the right things when I get to that point in the day that my fiancée turns around and says ‘you’re sincerely beyond help’

Today Corkey managed to hold and eat an apple that was far too big for him. So proud of the little man xxx

In every relationship there comes a day when somebody asks "You wanna go sit outside?" and you DO go sit outside and it's so much better than you imagined, and then from that day forward you start sitting outside more and more and doing other things less and less and this is very awesome

I worry about the future or the effectiveness any of this will rly have, but… 25,000 protesters in London, actually witnessing the sea of protesters in Edinburgh (with so many of my local pals oot at it too without even being asked), writing to my own MP only to find out she’d already released a /

Thousands show solidarity at #TransRightsAreHumanRights Demo in Parliament Square.

Thousands of protesters in London, England are out at a protest for trans rights in the U.K. “One struggle, one fight, Palestine, trans rights!”

Numbers are huge at the trans rights march and demo in Edinburgh. Good to see loads of @ucu.org.uk comrades here.

So fucking appreciative to everyone in my life who has shown support these last couple of days. So fucking in awe of my wife for being so resilient and capable of digging out hope and some sense of happiness for herself. So fucking glad to be in a city or a community that instantly responded with

The sudden squawking APOLOGISE APOLOGISE being directed at politicians after they… followed the law as it was commonly understood & anyway the judgement doesn’t tell you how to think ethically or morally… it just feels so transparently vindictive & pathetic. Politicians… exist… to enact new laws?

Saturday 19th April 1pm Foot of the Mound - Resist transphobia! Resist erasure! Resist the UK Supreme Court ruling! We will gather at 1pm at the Foot of the Mound - in front of the National Gallery. We will rally with speeches for 30 minutes, and then march to the UK Government building.

Some absolute legends I saw today at the museum, each one embodying somethin I either wanna be or already am in ma SOUL 💜🫶💖

Another one of my favorite Ghibli drawings. This one is pretty old, back when I frequently used colored pencils

Kind of think being cringe is the price of having a big beautiful life

‘The Wild Edge’, 2019. Some Pacific Northwest vibes for today.

I know these things have been said a million times before, in a million more sophisticated and poetic ways - but I suppose we don’t grudge the birds for singing their same songs over and over, and all human chatter amounts to much the same. But aahhhh on the note of birdsong, I’m trying to get

Another lovely spring day. Happiness is. Standing in a cool mountain spring running to the shore on the Isle of Mull. #Scotland #LandscapePhotography #Photography #IsleofMull #Stream

ALSO thinkin’ about how… im currently reading a book set in Argentina, and I’m just stunned by my own ignorance of essentially the entire South American continent. So many millions of cultures and histories and biomes and all of it is just kind of smooshed together in my brain in such a reductive,

Just thinkin’ about how it’s so beautiful that many different mediums of art exist :) Human beings coming up with all kinds of ways to express themselves, creating structures to contain those expressions that we label ‘book’ or ‘play’ or ‘tv’ but even within that those very basic structures /

I say it so much it’s redundant, but AWAGHH I love this bird so muchhhh. He’s sitting on top of his sleeping cage looking out the window and chattering away 😭 He keeps kissing & saying ‘hello’ & ‘come on’ while watching the people outside awaaaa

A world without Trans people has never existed, and it never will. More than visibility, we need safety 🏳️‍⚧️

Ahhh such a beautiful warm spring day today 😭 The sunlight through the window and the budding trees impelled me to go for a walk. I saw a heron flying overhead, the golden sun make play with the blue shadows, helped a family take a picture of themselves. People chattering in all kinds of languages /

Waagghhh I was taking note of the words I didn’t know in the book I’m currently reading, and my phone must have put speech-to-text on while I was wrestling taking notes and Corkey 😭 He IS my little angel aawaaa

Corkey gets so affectionate with his toys it makes me cryyyyyy. He just dropped one and said in such a sweet wee tone ‘it’s okay…’, and now he’s kissing (‘mwah!’) and whispering to one of his scratcher toys lmaooo awaaa why is he such a good bird

It’s so hard to capture in photographs, but I think it’s so special that African Grey parrots look purple in certain lights 😭 Like Corkey especially does if he’s been washing himself. To have an extra secret hidden sheen to you that is such a rare and ostentatious shade, so cuteeee

Some concept arts from "The Twilight World" french/german animated feature project directed by Werner Herzog (Psyop / Sun Creature). Story: Michael Arias ("Tekkonkinkreet") & Luca Vitale. Visual development: Linnea Serte & Katsuya Terada.

Corkey’s chatter this morning: “Hello Corkey boy!” “want a tickle?” “Wave!” “Come on!!!” “come here!” “Peekaboo! Peek peek peek pee!” “Okay! See you -phone hang up beep-“ “come herrrrreeee!” -water drop gurgle sounds- “Helllooooo” “MWAH!” “Kissies…!” “it’s okay, it’s okay… ohhh… it’s okay, Corkey!”
