...Also, I was only 4 or 5 years old. The paper figure tabs stated 'Tear Off Carefully' and I misunderstood. I thought they meant 'tear' as in cry, and 'tear off' was an expression I didn't yet know, so the tabs were warning 'if you get scared or upset, do so carefully.'

Eigg isn't connected to the UK national grid. Instead we generate 90% to 95% of our electricity from wind, sun, & water (hydro). Community-owned Eigg Electric was switched on in 2008. Islanders are trained and employed to manage it. Electricity costs 28p per unit/kWh. Before 2008 each property had its own diesel generator. Now we have 24kW of wind, 110kW of hydro, 170kW of solar PV, storage batteries, and a back up generator. Next challenge is #netzero #renewables #eigg http://isleofeigg.org/eigg-electric/
"Please," said the man, "can you do magic to make me be kind?"
"No," said the witch. "Magic cannot change anyone's nature."
"So there is no hope for me?"
"You ask the wrong question. Kind is not something you are. It is what you do."
"Is it that simple?"
"It is that hard."

One drag queen did more to stop the gunman in Colorado than hundreds of cops could do in Texas. We should put one drag queen at every school, clearly kids would be safer.
Edit: Correction, I'm now reading that it was a trans woman not a drag queen. Still, an unarmed veteran and a trans woman did what 346 cops with a $4 million budget couldn't handle in Texas.

Doing an interview with the BBC to promote my upcoming musical “Allegiance” in London.
This is my legacy project, the work I am most proud of and am most eager to share with UK audiences. It tells the story of our community, when 120,000 Japanese Americans were put into barbed wire prison camps during WWII because we resembled the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.
Allegiance is a celebration of the human spirit over adversity. #NeverForget
