My little serotonin dispenser for

Is it like living with Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde sometimes? Yes.

Poops? Absolutely nuclear.

Incessant meowing to go outside only to come back in 2 minutes later and then immediately demand to go outside again? You bet.

But I would still end bloodlines for her. Life is good when I look over my shoulder and she’s there napping/vibing in the background, always nearby.

For all its colours, Lisbon is beautiful in black and white

I’ve spent pretty much my entire life feeling guilty. At this point I feel like it’s part and parcel of having Catholic family members but then there’s also the guilt from simply existing. I grew up being told to hide my accomplishments and the privileges I get to enjoy lest it make other people feel uncomfortable, even though I actually didn’t grow up that privileged when you look at how my life was for a huge chunk of it. For 30+ years I’ve been told I’m not enough and too much at the same time.

I’ve done a lot of work in the last 4 years to unlearn all of this, and I felt like I was getting nowhere until one day this summer I woke up and decided I’m done hiding. There’s so much more work to be done but for the first time in a really long time I’m ok with who I am.

I wish I always looked as nice and approachable as I do in the first picture but unfortunately stupidity is on the rise so my resting face is the second photo.

Vertical cities like Lisbon are so much fun to walk around because of the colours but also because you get a nice little b***y workout from all the slopey streets and many, many stairs 🍑

One of my favourite memories of this city is when we went to see the Arco da Rua Augusta and there was a group of elderly men and women having a little dance party on the little plaza in front of the arch to the music being played by a busker. There is so much joy in music and in movement and bringing them together spontaneously. It’s the little things in life.

How do you feel about Lisbon?

We came upon a gypsy restaurant in Prague where the food was SO good but SO heavy 🤯 A digestive walk was definitely in order. Great thing the city’s a total beaut so digestive walks are always A++ 👌🏼 Have you ever tried gypsy cuisine before?

“Here some men offended their mothers and all the women in the worst manner: they didn’t spare the children.”

These words can be found on an obelisk statue near the entrance of Oradour-sur-Glane in central west France, and inside the memorial museum guests must pass through in order to access the remains of the old village.

There’s a fair amount of World War II and Holocaust victim memorials scattered around Europe, and Oradour-sur-Glane is maybe one of the more lesser-known ones, but (for me) the most haunting.

643 civilians, including scores of women and children, were massacred in this village by a German Waffen-SS company four days after D-Day, as collective punishment for resistance activity in the region.

The N***s rounded up all the people they could find in the town, including people who happened to be just biking through it that day. They divided the men into several groups, herded them into barns & sheds, shot them in the legs, and then set the barns & sheds on fire.

The women and children were rounded up inside the town church, which was then set on fire. Anyone who tried to escape through the windows were shot outside by waiting N***s. Then they looted and razed the entire town.

A new Oradour-sur-Glane was eventually built, but the remains of the old town still stand today, under the orders of then-President Charles de Gaulle, who decreed that the razed town remain a permanent memorial and museum.

Oradour-sur-Glane is a stark reminder of the depravation that can exist in the hearts of those who have been corrupted by ideology.

Whilst the Jewish people were the main target of N**i rage, they were more than happy to exterminate anyone that they believed to get in their way. Because that’s what happens when evil is not stopped, when it is left unchecked, when those who perpetuate cruelty are not held accountable.

We are seeing this play out again in real time on social media. The children are not being spared - in fact, they’re being murdered in the thousands. Where is the line that cannot be crossed, if it wasn’t this?
