A *huge* thank you to everyone who's supported and shared our Christmas fundraiser this year! 🎉🎉🎉 And there's still time to donate if you haven't already! stopfundinghate.info/christmas-gi...

I have lost track of what day it is - I thought it was New Years Eve tomorrow. Not that it matters. I shall not be celebrating.

Everyone OK for "dimesmeric andersonphospate"?

One upside of Aston Villa losing last night, and ending our 11 run winning streak, is the gratitude I feel for not being one of those awful, entitled Arsenal fans I've watched celebrating their relief at not losing to us again. UTV! I hope our players aren't too miserable today. I am proud of them

I'm trying to post links to do something for the country instead of moaning about it. Here's one good cause: www.wildlifetrusts.org/appeals/roth...

"He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts." On the contrary - I have contributed much to the UK's brewing industry in my avoidance of addressing my issues.

Yesterday was the 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐇 time Youri Tielemas has assisted an Ollie Watkins goal in the Premier League 😍 Only Ashley Young has assisted John Carew (14 times) and Gabriel Agbonlahor (8 times) more in the competition for Aston Villa. #AVFC

No government power can be abused long. Mankind will not bear it.... There is a remedy in human nature against tyranny, that will keep us safe under every form of government.

Aston Villa are trending But don't talk about the title.

I wish it was around 6pm again as I'd risk opening a Christmas gift early as I think it contains chocolate. Also, I had a lovely two hour nap after eating home made stew this afternoon and I was still in that nap around that time. #napping

Tim Blaney, the guy who voiced the robot 5 in Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2, collects empty wasp nests. He has over ten thousand of them in a climate-controlled warehouse. I hope they survive this LA storm.

Why are the BBC pushing the Royals on us like it's the 1950s?

Envii should send me a whole pile of Compost Accelerator free - the amount of great publicity I give to both. #Envii #Compostaccelerator #freestuff Get in touch

I think there's some kind of bug in my wall. It makes this weird noise. It's been there for years. Maybe it's not a bug. It sounds like one. I'd record it yet it might all be in my head, and that could be of concern.

There's a dog barking and growling at an empty corridor in my house - like there's an unseen presence. Except, I don't have a dog. And the corridor is more of an elongated hall. I'm bloody terrified.

Loneliness at Christmas time is fantastic I'm finding. Shame it'll soon be over.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

🎄Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas, from all of us at People's Trust for Endangered Species!✨ We've achieved so much this year, and we couldn’t have done it without everyone who has helped us along the way. 💚So we'd like to say a big thank you to our donors, volunteers and grantees.

Palestine Action shouldn't have sabotaged those planes yet maybe they ought to learn from UK farmers protests which they have had a lot of succes at. With governments, if not supermarkets.

It's amazing - we join streaming platforms and actually pay for adverts. They have got us to pay to watch adverts.

Who hired Chris Mason and Henry Zeffman for the BBC politics team?

I really need some high nitrogen material for my compost if it's to get hot in there this winter. Inform Reuters.

Aston Villa will never buy Denzil Dumfries. Every transfer window somone makes up a rumour and every time Villa don't get him. He's 29, Villa buy younger prospects.

When I was a medical student 45 years ago, I clerked in a 13 year old girl with deep jaundice and an abdominal mass. She was Hepatitis B positive. That had led to a primary liver tumour. In a 13-year-old. She was dead within the month. Avoidable with vaccination.

Visiting my mum in the care home at a Christmas party and all the other attendees were men. I presume the sons of the people in there. I inferred that daughters are still taking care of their parents at home. Let's hear it for the women in our lives.

Reform U.K. MPs & their unelectedspokespersons, absolutely petrified & on the run from having to engage in any media climate debate with me. They know there denial is crazy, dangerous & unpopular, hence their cowardice. Every single one of them! 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

I wonder if @donald-tusk.bsky.social is aware that the Polish Tourism Organisation is advertising on the far-right GB News.

Join us and the @pandemonialists.bsky.social for a free 'walkshop' in Willenhall on Saturday 10th January! This walking and writing workshop will creatively explore local landscapes whilst learning about the wildlife and habitats we encounter! Book your place: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wild-and-w...

The Government has partially backed away from weakening Biodiversity Net Gain – but nature still loses out. Exempting developments under 0.2ha risks hollowing out one of England’s most important nature protections🐝🌱 1/4🧵

No. No. No advertising on the BBC. I write as someone who once tried to watch Wimbledon on an American ad-heavy TV station... It destroyed the game.
