“After each dream, Frankie woke with a start, soaked in tears. But she found no relief in the peaceful silence of her room, because there everything was real. And the guilt was too immense to bear. Each time she opened her eyes, she'd quickly shut them. And wish that she had woken up for the very last time.”
― Lisi Harrison

Yes it's hot in Europe, unusually hot. But unexpectedly hot? That's a no. I studied environmental science back in the 1990s and scientists then were predicting that Europe would regularly have heatwaves in the 35-40C range by the 2020s.

We didn't stop driving petrol cars, install aircon in public buildings or stop flying away for glamorous holidays - myself included. And yet we complain. Now I help to build windfarms, built of steel and plastics that all use fossil fuels, to harness something free and turn it into electricity. It feels like baby steps whilst the house burns around me  

I'm flying to Madrid on Monday, then Mallorca, then back to Glasgow via Heathrow, all powered by kerosine. At least I'm taking a bus to the airport

A quotation from Hoffer

Self-contempt, however vague, sharpens our eyes for the imperfections of others. We usually strive to reveal in others the blemishes we hide in ourselves.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 100 (3.14.100) (1951)

WIST Quotations
I’ve been struggling with envy when I see posts from people who are in desperate need and asking for help. It’s not the people reaching out that I judge. It’s me. I am not able to help monetarily. I don’t feel what I think I should, no empathy, sadness, nothing. Lately I realised I mostly feel anger and even hatred towards war and inequality in general. That scares me and every time it happens, I feel less human. #guilt #gaza #genocide #contemplation
