Ok but was the baby a knob?

The overpoweringly sweet smell of the hawthorn is produced by the chemical trimethylamine. This is also one of the first chemicals exuded from a decomposing corpse. Perhaps explaining why hawthorn and its blossom has long been linked with death in British & Irish folklore... #MorbidMarch 🎨VanGogh

hate how hard it's getting to spot AI now.. this took me too long

An alarming feature of the British polity is how far to the right the establishment parties have moved. The UK Labour govt is now further right than Thatcher & using buzzwords & policies derived from the 1970s British National Front. In England, only the Greens are normal politics*.

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced. They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon. The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

Happy #WorldBookDay2026. The French writer and philosopher Voltaire once said 'Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.' 📚 He also drank up to 50 cups of coffee a day, often mixed with chocolate. I think we're onboard with this.

Looks like we’re finally living in precedented times.

Labour are so fucking disgusting

just learned of the smack barm pea wet. what is Wigan, really?

Working in social care I've had multiple years with no rise in pay. If I do get one it's always under 2%. Because I'm employed for a charity there's always the element of it being vocational & not about pay. And we are told the injuries/danger element is just part of the role of supporting people.

the dumbass zombies of British retail and private equity really dumbass-zombied this up huh

Good morning from the PNW. One from sunrise Feb 26. 🩷💜

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

IMPORTANT REMINDER that if you find yourself sat next to Americans on the Eurostar, you have to convince them there's a station half way down the tunnel where all the staff live. And tell them to watch out the window for it. This is an important Anglo-French tradition.

Leaf sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae), a species of sea slug, retains the chloroplasts from algae they graze on to perform photosynthesis, a process known as kleptoplasty. Original post

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Exactly this. I find the idea that life’s outside the USA can be sacrificed to distract from a domestic story repugnant. It’s an example of the navel gazing self centered politics that is somewhat responsible for where we are

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

You don't have to accept less than. You too can have a partner that appreciates you like this.

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime. You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

A complicated mess? No. “A portrait of blissful Rest” Yes. Cat Lessons. 🐈🕊️

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

If Reform had won, Labour's statement would be that this result is a stark reminder we need to listen and learn from voters who rightly feel betrayed by modern politics. But the Greens won by a comfortable margin, so it's: these voters are stupid and also sinister and, ugh, Muslims

‘Everyone is 12’ theory of the US administration chalks up another win.

#ShowMeYourKnits I love knitting shawls with lots of variety and lace sections!

Shabana Mahmood will continue to pitch-roll for Reform and to try and ban legitimate protest against Israeli genocide. Wes Streeting will continue his war on trans youth whilst lying about it. Bridget Phillipson will continue with her new section 28. And Labour will continue to haemorrhage votes.

Today we remember the 10 people who died in the Selby rail crash at Great Heck, 25 years ago on 28 February 2001. Six passengers and four railwaymen lost their lives in this tragedy and 80 people were seriously injured. Today railway colleagues will be gathering in Newcastle and Selby to remember

Unbelievable article with totally misleading headline. Head of BBC News says she gave Farage more airtime than he was entitled to. She was pro-Reform. Journalists in the newsroom opposed giving him extra unwarranted exposure. This is described as being anti-Reform.

The UK Labour govt pushed out this false propaganda today as they are in a bye-election & struggling. It’s a sign of how Trumpian/authoritarian the govt has become that it’s making stuff up about a very serious crime, date rape. The dogwhistle ‘protect women & girls’ is to appeal to the far right*

this is "pushing the Greens over the line" apparently

Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs attacking the Green Party for embracing "divisive" and "sectarian" politics I'm picking up concern among Labour MPs about how this letter will come across to people who have voted/are tempted to vote Green, as it could risk further alienating these voters

having to have an honest discussion with myself when buying clothes yes, I *could* make this myself, but would I? it probably wouldn't even be cheaper

You can just stomp around the house like a kaiju and nobody can stop you. Treat yo’self.

Hello darkness my old friend...

We've had two by-elections now where Labour have lost and it's fairly clear "ah ha! We're actually very right wing left cons" isn't a vote winner

"If you don't like the changes that we've made, I say the door is open and you can leave"

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.
