REVIEW: WHAT HAPPENED? BY MARK SAFRANKO athinsliceofanxiety.com/2023/02/review…

A wee thought this morning for Richey Edwards who disappeared #OTD 1995

@elonmusk You are fighting for us like the soldiers did in WW2. Of course it’s not the same, but the passion and values behind it are. You give us hope, and give justice for our fallen warriors whose legacy has been obliterated.

My British grandmother, Cora Amelia Robinson, was an important part of my childhood. She was very strict, but also kind and I could always count on her. She grew up very poor in England during the Great Depression only to be bombed in WW2. To earn money for food, she cleaned houses, leaving me with a lasting respect for those who do so. My Nana was one of the poor working-class girls with no one to protect her who might have been abducted in present day Britain.

@MarkSaFranko Congratulations, Mark. That is exciting news!
