Hi! This was me! I just checked and sure enough, he deactivated quick enough that I hadn’t unfollowed him before he weaselled his way underground. I’ve got many mutuals following him who I suspect are in the same position, so spread the word folks

If you have a local election today, take a moment to familiarise yourself with your local authority's responsibilities. Councils have powers to do with schools, your roads and public transport, decisions around what gets built where, social care, libraries, businesses... most of your day to day.

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

It’s warm enough to leave the door to the garden open for the first time and the old man cat is just having the best day - he’s going out and puddling in the sunshine and then strolling back upstairs to check what I’m up to. I just hear this little croak from beside me that means ‘scritches pls’ 😂
