Lockdown Update Day 124

[elisi]

We have 3 jobs on this planet:

1) To enjoy the exquisite beauty here

2) To love big & bravely

3) To care for one another & fight for justice & equity for everyone.

We have much to do on #3 now. But don’t neglect #1 and #2. You need them. AND they offer fuel for the fight.

MY friend's son caught her taking his lost tooth out from under his pillow and she had to claim the Tooth Fairy was furloughed.

And I, um, posted fic. Another crossover - much shorter, although there will be more:

Meet the Neighbours
Summary: Missy and the Doctor move to the South Downs. Aziraphale and Crowley are their neighbours. That's it, that's the set-up.

Finally, today's art. English sculptor Barbara Hepworth, 'Stringed Figure (Curlew), Version II' 1956.


Which reminded me that I have been waiting to share this article for absolutely ages:

Letters reveal postnatal crisis of Barbara Hepworth
Previously unpublished correspondence sheds new light on artist’s struggle to pursue career while caring for triplets alone.

I knew she was married and had children, but somehow I never realised that she had triplets!!

May well be true, as it is, it's more the *people* than the *site* that is the matter in question as far as if its remotely civil; I've seen too much uncivil conduct by people on LJ, simply banning someone for disagreeing with ye is completely uncivil and cannot be permitted as it goes- it reveals a critical flaw in the character of the person who bans another for any reason, simply doing so requires that the person whosoever bans anyone be stalked as penalty in fact.

Clearly my corner of LJ is quieter than yours. :)

Although I do remember the kerfuffles of days of yore (which is why I made a quiet little corner for myself).

I'm happy for you, but beyond that, it really doesn't matter about what's going on in yours about my situation.

Sorry, late comment is late, work has been... a lot.

Hope you are OK.

Doing as well as can be expected, perhaps even better than, come to think of it. You?

Overall not bad, but work has become incredibly busy [due to covid] so I am enjoying my weekend.

(And am glad you are doing well!)
