Petition for UK residents: Decriminalise Abortion
I am calling on the UK government to remove abortion from criminal law so that no pregnant person can be criminalised for procuring their own abortion.

Lovely article: I wear a white poppy because Remembrance Day’s staged fervour does little to honour my grandad
(The website for white poppies is here. I have worn a white poppy for the past few years, I like the idea behind them.)

Amid War in Ukraine, Nature Survives in Unexpected Ways
The war has brought suffering and devastation—and “war-wilding,” a surprising ray of hope.

I'm rubbish at updating, sorry. Not much has happened, but we are watching 'Ellis' - new detective show starring Sharon D Clarke, and it's properly good. Channel 5, but like, BBC production levels of writing & production.
We are also watching the new season of 'Shetland' - Darcy always loved the show, and I got caught up in the new season. The new female lead also really helps - the two main characters are now women. <3
(I have to suspend disbelief of course, because I have been to Shetland, and nothing ever happens - a stolen bicycle is front page news - but the look of it draws on all the 'British crime drama' vocabulary, so I can let it go. *g*)

ETA: Have a song by Zhou Shen. His voice is... out of this world.
I found an article. Have a snippet (lightly edited):
Zhou Shen sang the theme song "People Are _" for the movie "The Wandering Earth 2" in which human beings are not afraid of crisis, the spirit of facing fate, not being a trapped beast that is bound, not being a race that is easily defined, even if the light is faint, we still move forward.
ETA2: What the hell, have Big Fish as well. Because we all need beauty right now and this song is beauty that I wish to share with everyone.
