I’m mad. I’m fuming. This is going to be an epic rant but a necessary one. It concerns the shambolic, deceitful hypocrites at the heart of this Tory government, and it concerns the opportunity the British public has at the upcoming local elections. Both PM Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak have received fines for […]
It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a month since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. Putin thought this would be quick and easy, yet the Ukrainian military – backed with weapons from a number of other countries – has resisted, and the Ukrainian people have refused to accept occupation of their cities and […]
It’s that time again! It’s Meerkat Muse time! Dreams We begin with a dream that technically could have slipped into the previous Muse, but I hadn’t figured it out (and still haven’t). I was walking near the woods, and there was a river, lined with a wooden jetty and old, abandoned building/house, that I found […]
I woke up to the news I’d feared – Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has begun. There has already been missile strikes and troops have moved across the border at a number of locations. At what point does this end, how badly will it go for the Ukrainian people, and is Putin prepared for the […]
Greetings ‘kats, I hope you have been behaving, for the Eye is watching. It’s always watching. Let’s kick-start this Muse with some exciting news! The Awakening I was contacted by my publisher the other day. My book is next in line to go through the next stage of editing, and once this is complete we’ll […]
On the 21st of February Russian President Vladimir Putin announced he was recognising two territories of Ukraine as ‘independent territories’, at the request of said territories. These regions have been host to Russian-backed ‘rebels’ for several years, and it is extremely convenient for these rebels to make their plea at a time when Russia has […]
Here we go again! It’s Meerkat Muse time! Of course, do we have anything to celebrate at this time? On a personal note, there was the pleasure(!) of going back to work following covid. I consider myself lucky, for my experience of the virus was mild, and doesn’t appear to have landed me with any […]
It is of no surprise to me that the author of Theology Archaeology responded quite rapidly to my defence of Jill Dennison. Let us see if he has any reasonable arguments to the ones I made. Also posted on The Coalition of the Brave. Our nemesis at Meerkat Musings has published another article critiquing our gun post. […]
I’m reposting something from last September. It remains as relevant as ever. Yeah, I’m being blunt here, but why wouldn’t I? It’s the truth. They recently announced plans to raise National Insurance, something that will affect the poor a lot more than it will affect the wealthy. They plan to reduce Universal Credit payments soon, something […]
Also posted on The Coalition of the Brave. During my travels around the web I discovered yet another reminder of what modern-day Tories stand for. They stand for the steady erasure of rights and democracy. From the excellent post by Dr Nafeez Ahmed: Nationality and Borders Bill: Up to 15 Million at Risk As has […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
