For sure, Trump's nuclear button is way bigger but who knows what Kim may have up in his sleeve? Just don't forget that once you are dead, you are dead. And Kim will try to take as many of us and our allies with him as he can. https://www.quora.com/Is-So

I took my country to an international commission and won. Now it must scrap the homophobic laws that fuel hate Finally the Jamaican state has been held to account for its complicity in the violence and discrimination I have faced for being gay. An international tribunal has ruled that Jamaica should scrap its homophobic laws immediately. The hatred that LGBTQ+ people routinely face in Jamaica, and the colonial-hangover laws that criminalise gay relationships, are well documented. But, for the first time,

Yet again, the UK’s defences against the virus have been exposed as faulty. Despite the vaccines, there are still dangers It was a weekend of bright sunshine, with daffodils blooming alongside snowdrops in southern areas and a spectacular full moon, as families with children in England began readying themselves to return to school, with just one more week to spend at home (most pupils in Scotland and Wales must wait a while longer). The sense of eagerness for a return to something closer to life before the pandemic was palpable, with parks full and the longer afternoons holding out the promise of better times ahead. Then, on Sunday, came the announcement that six cases of the Brazilian coronavirus variant known as P1 have been identified, three each in England and Scotland, with the whereabouts of

The weekend brought blue skies, daffodils bursting into flower, the drone of lawnmowers coming back to life. The natural world is waking up fast, in uncanny synchronicity with a nation now readying itself to emerge from Covid hibernation.

I had slowly pieced together a support system, but lockdown left me alone with a disease that thrives on solitude Every day, after every meal, my food finished, I sit feeling full. Except it is more, much more than that. I feel self-loathing. I feel fat, I feel gluttonous, and my mind equates that to worthlessness, to failure … again. Mostly, I sit with the sensation until it passes, experience telling me that it will eventually. Despite my internal monologue screaming otherwise, I have not instantly ballooned, and my value is not tied to my last plate of food. But sometimes, in a desperate attempt to cope with the situation we all find ourselves in, I bow to my eating disorder (ED).
