How bad does it have to be when we agree with Sepp Blatter? 🇨🇦 Canada Mexico 🇲🇽 games to go ahead and the US games to be moved to the cohosts. It’s not safe for our footballers and supporters to step foot in the US. Hurt America where they will feel it. In their purses #FuckTrump #BoycottWorldCup

BBC Winterwatch had these Stentor single cell creatures on this evening. So interesting and the detail of the filming was amazing. #Stentor #SingleCellCreatures #BBC #Winterwatch I will never look at a muddy puddle the same way again.

Another amazing discovery which pushes back the oldest known cave art by over 15,000 years!!! And the professor who led the project is Adam Brumm, brother of Joe (the creator of Bluey!), and that’s why Bandit the dog is a paleo-archaeologist in the show! 😁 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Met friends in Birmingham. Men went to Wolves v NUFC 0-0 😏 so there were no arguments!! 😂 and me and my friend went to Museum & Art Gallery. It was wet!! 💦 #Birmingham #CityBreak Had a fantastic Nepalese meal in Bhancha in the evening. #Bhancha Recommended!

Bought slippers at Deichmann yesterday and thought I’d try out their “Win £300” offer by leaving “feetback”. Just look at the wording before selecting continue. I’m so glad I read it. They harvest everything from your computer and send it to USA! 😳 More in alt text. #ReadTheSmallPrint #Deichmann

Ok! Back to baking, birdwatching and batch cooking very soon.

This trifling snake of a president post a video that is so opposite of what the country is watching. I would like for the media co-sign this bullshit that Trump claims he saw. I dare these MFs!

BREAKING: While DHS claims a woman in a Minneapolis suburb "weaponized her car" during an ICE raid, you can see in this video (posted by the Minnesota Reformer) there was no real threat when the officer shot the woman in the face and immediately killed her. THIS LOOKS LIKE MURDER.

ICE murdering a woman in Minnesota a few hours ago.

I’m batch cooking and freezing like it’s going to be a nuclear winter. You see, I bought a small chest freezer last year. Best buy ever. I go shopping with different eyes now! #CanIFreezeThat #BatchCooking #NoWaste Love it! 😊

Saag Aloo, I just love it. I cook plenty and have enough for the freezer. Easy tasty meal and so versatile. The vegetarians and carnivores love it in equal measure! #SaagAloo #FreezingMeals #WinterIsComingAgain #Spicy Perfect for a cold day.

Through the window so not a good capture. Sorry! The Redwings have cleared the berries off the bank of holly behind our garden. Lovely birds and great to see so many this year. They are fast but this one sat for its photo! #Redwings #GardenBirdsUK #HollyBerries #WinterFeast
