Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
"The glory of life surmounts the fear of death. Good Christian's fear Hellfire, so to avoid it they are kind to their fellow man. Good pagans do not have this fear, so they can be who they are. Good or ill, as their nature dictates. We have no fear of God, so we are accountable to no one but each other."
― John Clare, by Penny Dreadful.
“How can I live without thee, how forego
Thy sweet converse, and love so dearly joined,
To live again in these wild woods forlorn?
Should God create another Eve, and I
Another rib afford, yet loss of thee
Would never from my heart; no, no, I feel
The link of nature draw me: flesh of flesh,
Bone of my bone thou art, and from thy state
Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe.
However, I with thee have fixed my lot,
Certain to undergo like doom; if death
Consort with thee, death is to me as life;
So forcible within my heart I feel
The bond of nature draw me to my own,
My own in thee, for what thou art is mine;
Our state cannot be severed, we are one,
One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.”
― Paradise Lost, by John Milton.

Florida Right to Clean Water
This is a #WatershedMoment. We can make this happen.
With your help, we can bring this initiative to amend Florida's Constitution to the voters in November 2024, so the PEOPLE can decide whether we should hold our State agencies accountable for harm to Florida's waters.

In the name of accountability, I feel I ought to reveal what I ate yesterday. Ready?
2 slices of cold pizza (chicken, mushrooms, olives and garlic butter) at the top of Tom Heights (recce)
Part of a Gregg's Cheese and Onion Bake (binned, vile)
1 packet of Doritos Cool Original
1 Peanut Chunky Kitkat
That saw me through to about 12 when I'd finished photographing Mary's Shell. Hmm, I can't really turn up to my sister's hungry...
1 quarterpounder with cheese
3 mozzarella bites
Sister's house:
Toffee Crisp
Then managed to make it all the way through to 5pm:
3 slices of garlic bread (goats cheese and caramelised onion 😍)
Chicken with a Diane sauce (the 80s called and want their sauce back)
Chocolate icecream rolled in meringue and hazelnuts.
-- The end --
This is what eating carbs does to me, I turn into a voracious bottomless pit 😂
I blame the Met Office.
Frostwick and Ill Bell from a bloody lovely Kentmere Round on Saturday!
Responsible behavior is made up of five essential elements: *Honesty
*Compassion/respect
*Fairness
*Accountability
*Courage
I've never been this accountable-less and within
I've never known focuslessness on any form
I've never had this lack of ache for dalliance
To let go ....
Ah to breathe
Stop looking outside
stop searching in corners of rooms
Not my business or timing
I declare a moratorium on things relationship
I declare a respite from the toils of liaison
I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement
I declare a full time out from all things commitment .
Enjoy the photo and the song:

EXPLORE
I was setting here thinking about my father. I thought about the many ways he touched our lives. When we were very young, he often worked overtime and two jobs. He would find what our interest were, learn about them and make the time to share in our interest. There were six of us. I loved the outdoors, so he became an assistant scout master, took me fishing and canoeing. He did this with each of us and his grandchildren.
Maybe this is why I don’t get it; why is there so much hate in Yosemite National Park? Could it be that management participates, allows, then denies it? Yosemite's workplace and living conditions will remain Extremely Toxic until there is common sense and accountability.

Your choices, your accountability, your responsibilities, are all in your own hands. You never have to blame someone for what they do to you. YOU have the power, its in your hands, its your choice.
Do not wait for your life to fall apart to understand the power of choosing a different path. Mel Robbins
I have shared with so many people the "Let them" Theory by Mel Robbins. Her message is unapologetic, clear, and freeing. We can not control what others believe, say, or even think. Should they decide you are not a good person, or assign you with their gossip, hate.. that is NOT on you.
Let them.
Be strong in who you are and your personal morality. Most folks should sincerely take their own inventory of action and life before judging others.
One of Mel Robbins' series. Please enjoy! ♥
The egregious, obscene -- and all too commonplace -- death of an unarmed black man by a white police officer in the United States was recorded by a woman's cellphone in Minneapolis and viewed by millions.
As a result, the heinous death of George Floyd has struck a collective nerve in America and around the world so severely, not even a pandemic without a vaccine has deterred people from publicly expressing their demand for accountability against police brutality and institutional racism. At the time of this posting, protests in America have continued for 12 consecutive days since the lynching.
This image shows the confrontation between protesters and the police in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.
If interested, you can view my latest photo essay featuring images of the protests in Seattle against police brutality and institutional racism this week in my blog article: "The Pandemic, The Pandemonium & The Protests."
Please be well, be safe, and be mindful.
All you Nazis, Fascists, MAGAs, Republicans, and all other categories of Americans who abuse the law, cause people of the world harm, who steal our data, who take away jobs and healthcare from millions, who kidnap and deport innocent people to foreign prisons, who take away women's rights, who think compassion is a weakness--YOUR day of judgement is coming. You will pay for your crimes against humanity, for lives lost.

The accountability of fallen leaves
The accountability of fallen leaves.
Vagrant clouds across the night sky.
Accountability.
The insinuated and sorrowful.
And the corruption from within.
Submitting to be changed.
By a systemic imperative.
Endowed through pressure and lip service.

"High-Speed Traders in Britain Subject to New Accountability Rules" by CHAD BRAY via NYT t.co/BinJwFqWbj (via Twitter twitter.com/felipemassone/status/695242037315112961)
As a way to hold myself accountable to building this project, I am finally announcing a project that has spent a few months in development. This is my first custom designed steam locomotive from the ground up: Wabash 534. This 0-6-0 was classed a B-7 by the Wabash in 1906. In 1954 it was sold to their subsidiary company, the Lake Erie & Fort Wayne and renumbered 1. It switched the steel mills for three years before being preserved in Swinny Park with Wabash caboose 2543. In 1984, the caboose and locomotive were acquired by the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society. The caboose has been beautifully restored while 534 has undergone a slow restoration.
I've only had a few photos and a set of diagrams to go off of, as I have never seen this locomotive fully assembled. I’ve packed as much detail into this design as possible, including the functioning inside frame Stephenson valve gear, Kadee O scale couplers, and as much appropriate pipe work I could pack in. I'm extremely pleased with the digital result of this Lego build and hope this pushes the envelope of what is possible in L-Gauge. Can’t wait to provide future updates on this project!

UN PRC: Civil Society's Legal Push Against War in Palestine (Publ. 23 May 2025) [***Great speeches by Shir Hever and Jake Romm***]
Lima, Peru - 23 May 2025:
In a landmark development for international justice, the Republic of Peru has formally opened a criminal investigation against an Israeli national accused of participating in the genocide in Gaza, following a legal complaint submitted by the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF).
The complaint was filed by Julio César Arbizu González (b. 1974), a prominent Peruvian human rights lawyer and legal counsel to the Foundation.
The individual under investigation served as a combat engineering soldier in the Israeli military and is alleged to have played a direct role in the methodical and systematic destruction of civilian neighbourhoods in the Gaza Strip during the 2023–2024 military offensive.
The complaint, supported by audiovisual documentation and open-source intelligence, accuses the soldier of engaging in actions that constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and acts of genocide.
This step by Peruvian authorities is of immense significance in the global pursuit of justice. It is not only an affirmation of Peru’s adherence to the principles of international humanitarian and criminal law, but also a decisive recognition that universal jurisdiction must be exercised—not merely acknowledged—when those responsible for international crimes are found within a state’s territory.
Crucially, this case highlights the central role played by the Combat Engineering Corps of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the implementation of Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinian population of Gaza. Far from being a support unit, the Engineering Corps has acted as a core operational arm of destruction, systematically reducing civilian areas to rubble, erasing entire communities, and rendering large swathes of Gaza uninhabitable. This unit, through its actions, has become one of the primary mechanisms of the genocidal machine.
In response, the Hind Rajab Foundation has undertaken a comprehensive legal offensive targeting this formation. To date, the Foundation has prepared hundreds of individual case files against members of the Combat Engineering Corps. These cases are being progressively submitted before competent national jurisdictions in countries across multiple continents, with more filings to follow in the weeks and months ahead.
The opening of this investigation in Peru demonstrates that the HRF’s legal actions against travelling Israeli soldiers are not symbolic gestures—they yield tangible legal consequences. It is a powerful precedent, affirming that no perpetrator of atrocity crimes should feel shielded by distance or diplomatic complacency.
The Hind Rajab Foundation calls upon all states—particularly those that are parties to the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute—to follow Peru’s example by initiating proceedings against individuals implicated in the Gaza genocide who may enter their jurisdictions.
“Justice is not optional. Justice is imperative,” said Dyab Abou Jahjah (b. 1971), Chairman of the Hind Rajab Foundation. “This investigation marks a decisive step in the dismantling of Israeli impunity" he added.
The Hind Rajab Foundation will continue to pursue all responsible individuals—wherever they are, and for as long as it takes—because only justice can lay the foundation for lasting peace and human dignity in Palestine and beyond.

The Enchanted Apple Tree
(Death, Compassion, Accountability)
Long ago, somewhere in France, lived an old woman who had an apple tree. Now the apples that grew on this tree were delicious. They were probably the most delicious apples in all of France. As people walked by, they were always helping themselves to the apples. Misere’ was very frustrated by this. “I would be happy to share my apples,” she grumbled, “if only they would ask.” Misere’ built a fence around her apple tree. Then the villagers climbed on the fence to pick the apples! This was not fair!
One day a tired traveler knocked at Misere’s door. She asked for permission to pick a few apples. Misere’ was so happy to be asked that she went out and picked a basketful for the traveler to take with her. “Misere,” said the traveler. “I thank you for the apples. “Because you have shared, I will grant you one wish.”
Misere’ thought of asking for gold--but what need had she of gold? She had a comfortable house, a small garden, a few chickens and her wonderful apple tree—if only people would stop picking the apples without permission! Thinking of the apple tree gave Misere’ an idea. “I wish that anyone who picks an apple from my tree without permission must remain stuck to the apple until I let him or her go.”
“It shall be as you wish,” said the traveler. Misere’ looked at her apple tree to see if it had changed. It looked just the same. When she turned to say “Thank you,” the traveler had disappeared.
Misere’ stood at the window to watch what might happen. Three small boys stopped to look at the apples. They climbed up on Misere’s fence and each boy grabbed an apple. There they hung and no matter how they squirmed and screamed and wiggled, they could not get loose. By the end of the day, a nursemaid, a farmer and a baker were also hanging from the apple tree. “Please, Misere’,” they begged, “let us go.”
“Well, all right,” said Misere’, “but next time you ask!”
As soon as they fell to the ground, they picked themselves up and hurried away. As Misere’ fixed her supper, the hint of a smile clung to her lips. She heard someone enter her door and turned. An old man stood in the doorway. Misere’ had never seen him before but she recognized him as Father Death! “What do you want at my house?” she asked.
“I have come for you.”
Now Misere’ knew there was no use arguing with Father Death. “I will be ready in a minute,” she said. “But I am thinking that it is a long journey we are going on and we will probably get hungry on the way. Why don’t we take some cheese and some of my apples with us. They are the most delicious apples in all of France.”
Father Death was surprised. All feared him. No one had ever spoken kindly to him! No one had ever offered him anything to eat! “All right,” he said, “but you must hurry!”
“I will slice the cheese,” said Misere’. “Will you please pick the apples?” And she gave him a basket.
Father Death climbed the tree and reached out for his first apple. And he was stuck! No amount of wiggling or screaming or pulling could get his hand free from that apple! Father Death pleaded and begged but Misere’ would not listen.
Ten years passed and during those years, no one died. Children fell beneath the carriage wheels and they did not die. They fell in the river but they did not drown. People suffered pain and sickness and Father Death could not come to release them.
“Please,” begged Father Death, “release me. The world is not as it ought to be. Please let me go. There are people who need to be allowed to die.”
“All right,” said Misere’, “I will set you free but you must promise me that I won’t have to go with you until I want to.”
“Impossible!” said Father Death. No person controls the time of his death. Death comes he will. I can’t allow you to stay past your time.”
“Then you stay fastened to my apple tree,” replied Misere’.
Finally, in desperation, Father Death promised Misere’ that she wouldn’t have to go with him until she wanted to. And she has never wanted to and that is why misery is still in the world!

Accountability. I posted the black square in support of BLM and I've made a commitment to listen and learn but how do I hold myself to account? In a years time, how will I know that I've made progress? These are the ponderings of my tired brain today...

The overload of discontent
The constant burden of making sense
It won't relent, it won't repent
How to remain in dissonance
The overload of discontent
The constant burden of making sense

Show some respect and listen to my advice
'Cause if you don't challenge me on anything
You'll find I'm actually very nice
Are you listening?
I'm actually very fucking nice
