What is going wrong in the #USA? Let alone the rest of the world. #Governments have lost control & many pple will start to use #violence as a way to change things. Which will cause the death of thousands. #politics #hatred #endoftheworld

Republicans control the House, the Senate, & the White House. It's their job to pass a budget that addresses Americans' needs. Instead, they shut the government down. They would rather shut the government down than work with Democrats to protect health care and lower costs.

Have you ever tried to apply for a #job as a #chef or in #hospitality. Wel don't! Companies, people involved are boring, managers who can't admit the truth & much worse. #hospitalitybreakdown

I hope all #copywriters arnd the world, including @celinawords.bsky.social have as little stress as possible today. #worldcopywritersday

Another #picture coloured but I sometimes prefer black and white.

@onenerdsopinion.bsky.social my wife follows you and I've watched the progress of the famous Dandy & Spike and they make my day. #pets.

The wanderer keeps on returning. Probably getting extra #dreamies elsewhere.

The Employment Rights Bill aims to reverse a generation of employment legislation. Its third reading in the House of Lords was its last major hurdle | Stephen McNair

I wish this would happen more often, #music makes pple #happy & the #world needs a lot more #fun & less #hatred.

Please, someone tell me that Mike Johnson was three sheets to the wind when he made this ridiculous statement. And then get him the help so obviously needed. #Trump youtu.be/QIVPtIN4LzA?...

As companies in the #hospitality industry (pubs) are starting to add a 12% #servicecharge (which isn't optional), is going to stop people visiting #pubs #restaurants. The money should go to staff but normally goes to managers or #FOH, but #BOH only get £1.64p/w. #chefslife #

Something is happening in the 'Land of the Free'. ICE abductions. Military-police fusion. Books removed. A capitol seized, and history rewritten. This isn’t a warning — this is a chronicle. Guy Anthony Ayes reports from across the pond

Often I write & edit about politics. Sometimes I write about the things I love. H/t @nicmiller.bsky.social for wonderful insights.

The New Yorker has now estimated that Trump has made $3.4 billion from the presidency. He’s reduced American democracy to a pyramid scheme to pay for his tacky gold trimmings h/t @writesbright.bsky.social

Nova Scotia's Angus MacAskill was a legend in his time. He is considered the strongest man, tallest non-pathological giant and largest true giant in recorded history. He wasn't just a giant in stature, but in kindness too for how he treated others. This is his story. 🧵 1/11

It's already too late to repair the #planet. #Humans are self destructive through greed, hatred, religion et-al. We should hope that our children,grandchildren etc don't suffer too much in the years to come. #History shows we need to change but...

Exhausted and dehydrated, I slowly walk the last few steps. “This has to be it,” I think to myself. Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and turn the handle, whispering a little prayer as I step through. I open my eyes and the last trickle of hope leaks away. I am still in IKEA.

Is there anyone on #bluesky in the #UK who I can #talk to in this strange country of ours? I have lots of contacts in #USA but not many here.

I've had 2 days off but am back to #work in the #kitchen doing 11 hour shifts every day for the next month. Aaaggghhhh!! Will it be the end of me? #chef #cooking #restaurant

I wish people in the #UK would stand up and speak up. All I hear is moaning about this problem & that #injustice, but hardly anyone does anything to change it! #politics #poverty #greed.

If you advocate for any kind of violence against any group of people, a particular person, or property, it's an instant block. Peaceful protest only, please. There's already enough violence in the world. Our voices cannot be heard through violence. ✌️💙

Working all day in a #kitchen is soul destroying. Especially when the #food one is producing is not what you really want to serve. Eg not fresh even though it's of reasonable quality. I need a new life 😩 #chefslife

In the age of hyper-individualism, what we need isn’t more choice, but more belonging. Why neoliberalism frayed our social fabric and how we can weave it back together. Read the full piece by @awbrakeley.bsky.social www.youthobserver.com/p/the-lonely...

There are a million Western songs about heartbreak. My baby left me, I cried a river, she done me wrong. But where’s the song for this kind of betrayal? The one where your country, not your lover, walks out on you—and sets the house on fire as it goes. open.substack.com/pub/normsmus...

I’m going out of the country in a couple weeks and because of our new Dept of Health Sec. and his asinine anti-vaxer conspiracy theories, I had to take a blood test to make sure I am still immune to measles.

We are not going to flip the script on this administration today. We are not going to fix in this moment all the problems we face. But we can push, a little every day. We can take a step every day toward where we want to go. Feel the hurt; feel the anger. But don’t stop now.

#Disability rights & support are fundamental human rights. #PIP is so vital to so many. See my piece below.
