It’s #MS Awareness Week.
If you aren’t aware, #MultipleSclerosis is a chronic, incurable condition. It’s progressive, can affect any part of the body and can be devastating.
Progression was initially slow for me, but it’s picking up speed and is now taking more and more away from me.
I do as much as I can and remain positive, but it’s a motherfucker.
Here’s a film made a few years ago that always makes me well up & is so beautifully made. Please enjoy.
Back to work today after a week off for a visit by our daughter from Oz last week.
Apparently I still need to do this capitalist working for food, heat and shelter thing even after 38 years of its bullshit. Sigh. 😞

I can get behind this better than the LinkedIn Astrology that is Myers-Briggs!
On this measurement, I'm an OTMC.
I had to go.
The Museum of the Dog is a charming little space a bit less than a block from Grand Central. It’s two and a half floors of art of, about and occasionally by dogs. You can breeze through it in about an hour. It’s well kept and well organized. If you like dogs and happen to be in New York, it’s a fun, inexpensive diversion.
There are also a few interactive exhibits. One takes your picture and tells you what dog breed you most closely resemble. My results were… unflattering
The SS Sir Walter Scott today on Loch Katrine to the north of Glasgow. Built as a ferry and pleasure cruiser, it's the only screw-driven steamship left in Scotland.

The Web is more than social media.
The Internet is more than the Web.
AI is more than false hype.
Photography is more than the camera.
Society is more than people.
People are more than society.
People and society are more than politics.
Politics are more than politicians.
A person who votes for a party you didn't is more than the term you use to describe them. Regardless who the party's leaders are. Regardless what they do while in power.
People are more.
Trying not to spam whilst grieving and nostalgic, so will post weekly one of the reams of photos of the now departed, beloved terriers that we adopted in 2017 and lost in 2023 and 2026.
Here they both are, enjoying some doorstep sun in 2017, back in Milngavie.
