"[T]he people with the power, who control the negative side of life and all the bad inventions they have like guns and bombs and hate. But there has to be a balance. We've got to all try harder to manifest more love in order to counteract all that." - George Harrison, The New Sun, 1990

Once I get off work, can I just walk in the door, flop on top of you, and tickle your sides, ribs, armpits, and tummy until I feel better?

Anti-nuclear rally, Trafalgar Square, London, June 1986. Footage from News At Ten.

“[W]e’ve got everybody still making all the bombs and putting the missile sites around. To tell you the truth I feel like if they do blow us up there’s nothing we can do about it, and if they don’t blow us up there doesn’t seem to be that much we can do about it either because the governments and everybody’s still got the money, they still choose to use the money for military and for weaponry as opposed to building the inner cities, about giving people jobs or detoxifying the oceans or whatever. I mean it’s just in a nutshell greed, I think, it all comes down to greed. You know, industry, commerce and that, they just would rather just destroy something in order to sell, sell you electricity. I mean, you know, this is the biggest joke, the guys now said how nuclear power isn’t actually cheaper. Now as we’ve got all these sort of horrible power stations, you know, it’s unbelievable, you know, it’s just… these people who are in control of it just have no hearts, no souls, and they don’t care about the people, they just don’t seem to care about us, they’re just concerned with their own greedy methods of how to get power and accumulate all this wealth and stature.” - George Harrison, interview conducted by BP Fallon, RTE Radio, 1987 (x)

“Our research consistently shows us that this work is much less appreciated when women do it - it is seen as what women do, what they have always done, even if it’s a little more heightened [when someone is sick],” says Thomeer.

Men, on the other hand, are more appreciated for caregiving, and are more easily let off the hook when they decide it’s too much. Their family members notice the work that they are doing and chip in.

To say that men benefit hugely from female caregiving is borne out by research. Men tend to suffer a lot more from widowhood, partly because they gain more support from marriage than women do. When his partner dies, he is more likely to actively seek out another relationship, whereas women are more likely to avoid marriage. Why? “Because they know it will entail more caregiving,” says Thomeer.

Happy 10th Anniversary to ‘Take Me To Church’ for all who celebrate it. One of the most truly iconic and eternal and enduring songs of the last decade. Thank you Mr Hozier.

“CPUs. Cayce Pollard Units. That’s what Damien calls the clothing she wears. CPUs are either black, white, or gray, and ideally seem to have come into this world without human intervention.

What people take for relentless minimalism is a side effect of too much exposure to the reactor-cores of fashion. This has resulted in a remorseless paring-down of what she can and will wear. She is, literally, allergic to fashion. She can only tolerate things that could have been worn, to a general lack of comment, during any year between 1945 and 2000. She’s a design-free zone, a one-woman school of anti whose very austerity periodically threatens to spawn its own cult.”
