It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

Watching Rev. because I need to go back to a time before division and brexit and war and stuff, when it was just homelessness, alienation, poverty and meth heads to deal with.

A million times this. And they’re so much more elegant and safe!

Plus ban the utterly horrid dynamic surge pricing and enable disabled ticket holders the same right to resell tickets.

A horrifically shocking article. Content warning: abuse and violence against women.

This singer, Katacombs, had a panic attack a few gigs ago on stage during the middle of a song. She’s just performed it again, and she’s my hera.

One particular interaction on BlueSky today has reminded me of this fabulous performance by @petshopboys.co.uk I'm a sucker for a miners choir or a brass band. Tears normally follow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhiD...

Hard relate from the Welsh valleys, where fossil fuel extraction left deep scars in the landscape, killed a lot of people - including the children buried alive at Aberfan - and a legacy of toxic waste which still hasn't been properly remediated. I'm sorry your solar field is a funny tinge though.

Not all the animals like seeing you dance. Original post

This week, it was announced that the construction of a mega-solar project with a capacity of 2.1GW had been completed. It’s on the site of former coal mines, and will provide enough energy to power around 1.5 million homes. That one is in Greece - but there's plenty of similar projects in the UK:

About 18 months ago I accidentally said something was the holy grain. I’m still thinking and cringing about it.

If Trump had learned early in his life that it’s not always size that matters, maybe *some* things would be different today.

In case you need it, the UK allowing the US to use UK bases to target Iranian missile sites targeting international commercial shipping is based on a joint statement by the UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Denmark, Latvia, Slovenia...

I miss the days when the word trump was about eliminating a different kind of gas. Not in our house though; we called it a straight forward fart, or pump if we were being polite.

And now I can’t sleep through worrying about this. ADHD is a fucking curse, served up with a big dose of stigma, disbelief and expense. I really wish it didn’t exist. I’d choose to be without it in a heartbeat.

Wes Streeting is planning a Cass review for neurodivergency. We are the latest group targeted for public punishment in Labour's vain quest for rightwing support. Lives will be ruined and lives will be lost if they get their way. Please sign this petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Everything is terrible and horrible. So here is Ann-Margaret and Desi Arnez Jr. on the “Here’s Lucy” show in 1970 doing a dance number that’s been remixed to Prince’s “Kiss”. Ann-Margaret was hip AF! 🔥

They should put a monkey on the £50 note and a pony on the £10 note to confuse the hell out cockneys.

This has made me happier than it probably should've done....

1/8 The idea ADHD's being overdiagnosed in society, I believe, is being driven by the rise of influencers who may or may not have been diagnosed with ADHD but share content pathologising every day struggles claiming it's because of ADHD - creating a perception its everywhere That's likely led to...

Tonight my brain decided sleep was a thing other people do. Looks like I’m pulling a random ADHD all nighter.

Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty. The Tories and Reform UK voted against. Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

Argh, got confused with a different will! He was a Royal Navy Captain, who retired in the 1890s through ill health. He sadly died by suicide 20 years later. Apparently he was very worried about the (First World) war and his inability to take part. #genealogy #ancestry

I found a strange request in a will by a Master Mariner, dated 1906, to make sure one of their pulse arteries is perforated & a basilic vein opened. Anyone come across this before? Is he in effect saying he wants to be embalmed? Or is he scared of vampires? #ancestry #genealogy

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating. I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...
