‘If I think about what this means, I want to cry’: what happens when a city loses its university?

I went to the Dnipro River today. Still frozen. I just want to remind you that russians chose the coldest night to launch the most severe attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Hello I am your friend and roller skating expert This is nuts

Mostly I harbor my hard owned cash for repairing my car , electric , water , food and petrol. Today I pre booked a ticket to roller skate on Friday because life is too short not to. I can’t afford to pay back my student loan or buy a flat but I can afford too afford to roll 🤘🛼💕🪩

It is so easy to close the door of the flat and pretend that Marko and I live in safe and happy bubble . He purrs so loud that I feel I am winning at life!

They literally removed the whip from their own MPs for supporting it previously and had to be pushed into doing this. I'm completely done with people pretending stuff didn't happen when we all know it did.

I am not doing any of these as I live in a one bed flat and do not have window sills, but you could! Be your own supply chain 🤘

I hate this. I can provide kale, sprouts and over protective aunt vibes any time ….

I sort of feel I should apologise for reposting so much stuff but it’s not really my fault you were all so damn important or interesting today!

So cute!

🤠 Here We Go Again Texas just pulled another bounty hunter card from its dystopian deck. Remember that dude who filed a lawsuit against a California doctor for prescribing abortion pills to his girlfriend this past summer? bit.ly/4tesOqp

I had been trying to watch the night manager along with Dan ( I made it to episode 3) but because of the world and news I am in fact watching QI repeats and hugging my cat #AutismMadeMeDoIt

Oh to be in #Falmouth today!

The Labour Party will be punished for how they disregarded the Waspi Women. My Mum is one and she is furious, I am furious, my Dad is furious , my brother is furious, my aunts are also in the group and their families are furious. We won’t any of us be voting Labour at the next opportunity. 💚

Slept well last night but woke up in pain and not able to look left. A day of digging has not entirely helped . Can mow look in all directions but hurts low level all the time. Had hot bath and now medicinal Scotch and ginger. 👌

🤩🤣👌

Big day for @boldpolitics.bsky.social tomorrow as we welcome our first general secretary of a trade union onto the show. The Green Party is the party of workers.

Today is National Women Physicians Day (US). It marks the birthday of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to earn a medical degree in the US, honoring female doctors' achievements & advocating for gender equity in medicine. #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine

My chicken era is over for the moment but these ladies need homes.

We want to say a GIANT *thank you* for stepping up for nature, beauty and history. Your overwhelmingly generous response to our appeal means that we have been able to secure land surrounding the iconic Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorset, protecting this cherished landscape!

Kyiv. Afternoon after the night attack. I came for a warcoffee and to charge my phone. No electricity at home, and unclear when it’ll be back.

Today at work I have mostly been cutting new edges to flower beds. Eating lunch now . Seriously tedious grey weather. No rain yet though! 🇬🇧🌱

Drones are attacking Kyiv. Explosions echo in the severe frost. And I wonder how much heat, electricity, or water will be left by morning. The morning will come, with or without us.

It’s very loud in Kyiv. russia is attacking us with ballistic missiles. Let the world know.

Greetings from Kyiv. It’s cold outside. It’s cold inside. But we plan to make it through this winter. Wishing you a gentle week wherever you are.

Arrived at the yard 🌱🇬🇧

Always impressed by the power of cress!

I have just separated a keiki from an orchid. 🤞

Well, it's Sunday. And that means it's time to shake things up with a little grown-up show and tell! So show us something neat and tell us about it! Something you made, something you did, something you're proud of. Friends, pets, family. Anything really! Go on, show us!

My friend Faith said “It's good it's raining because the hag of winter can't collect her firewood. Therefore winter cannot continue for much longer” There’s always a silver lining!

Did a quick hour at a neighbour’s garden this morning to clear a footpath 🌱🇬🇧

Greetings from Kyiv, where it’s -15 °C (-24…-26 expected tonight). According to the mayor, about 1,000 high-rise buildings are still without heating. Ours isn’t among them, the heat is low but at least it’s there. This is our reality. Ukrainians freezing in their homes.

I will probably get told off for sharing this - but it does give some perspective on why I was under so much pressure to leave Monkey Cage - I accept my career is dead so…. skepchick.org/2026/01/the-...

And home , showered and a bed time whisky poured. A wonderful day . 💕🛼🪩😸

Kyiv. Update on the situation. Heating is back (very minimal, just enough to keep the radiators from freezing). Power lasted about three hours, but that’s okay; rolling outages are our reality here. Having a warcoffee.
