Even if you can't afford to donate, you can send a message of thanks. Let volunteers, who spend time and effort to make the seas safer for all of us know that you appreciate what they do and stand with them against hate and persecution.

If you would like to add your voice to tens of thousands of people thanking RNLI volunteers for their work, 38 Degrees have organised this open letter to express public support (at a time when a hateful fringe have been intimidating & abusing RNLI volunteers) act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rnli-tha...

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

This is not a 'masculinity crisis', it's a misogyny crisis. This is not a problem with 'masculinity'-- millions of men model positive masculinity every day. This is a problem of male violence. Stop calling it 'masculinity'. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

A ‘masculinity crisis’ is brewing in UK schools, union says

Misogynistic abuse of female staff is increasing, leaving teachers feeling ‘traumatised’ and ‘humiliated’

We had our honeymoon at a Landmark Trust 'castle'. We photographed the eldest (10 ish at the time) with, or in, every window/portal/arrowslit , including the one which was 9 feet above the floor of the main room. Windows, castles (and the www.landmarktrust.org.uk) are fabulous.

An interdimensional portal disguised as a quatrefoil window in Clytha Castle, in South Wales, leading out onto a bucolic scene of cattle munching the parched nearby lawn. More about this magical place in the link.

I already have this, but haven't read it yet because I was too busy with 21st Century Yokel. Tom's writing is anarchic, immensely readable and wonderfully sensitive.

Many years ago, when I had cash, I ate in Atrium, which was a revelation. Now I have no money and want a job with Anna as a fermenter!

Weather Report: oppressive heat. A roiling of clouds, a promise or tease? In town, a smattering of fat drops. People stop: hands out, exclaiming, cheering, faces to the heavens & each other in what looks like a mass epiphany. In the fields the horses gallop & buck. Emotional Weather: expectant

As someone who brews their own (I'm cheap and I like to know what's in my beer), just knowing a little of what 'proper' brewers do is fascinating. It also reminds us that swerving the big names, and seeking out something local and different, can be an adventure when you're out and about.
