Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

Scotsman on radio 5 live had a message two days ago about his ESTA that had been approved and now isn’t. His wife and daughter were already in the US but were pulled aside at the airport and ‘interrogated’. He’s tried the US embassy no good. He’s spent £15,000 to go to the US. Just don’t go!

OMG, I really love Ann Telnaes. She is a great political cartoonist and walked away from Bezos Post and she is now independent. I think she hit another one out of the park.. What do ya all think? I really love this one.

Wow 😳

I feel the urge to have a gold blend coffee. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oh please succeed!👏👏👏🙏 Local residents in Chicago have started a campaign to change the name of the street that Trump Tower is on to ‘Barack Hussein Obama Avenue’ and are already racking up the signatories. www.change.org/p/rename-wab...

We cannot allow the Epstein files narrative to just fade away. This reading room is brilliant and what they have done here ensures that. #BelieveTheSurvivors

#Shitler got community-noted over on Threads and it‘s beyond brutal😂😂😂 As if that wasn’t enough, see below one (of many) jokes made about the situation 💥

John le Carré described Boris Johnson as a "mob orator" who fired up people with nostalgia and with anger. He said "What really scares me about nostalgia is that it's become a political weapon. Creating a nostalgia for an England that never existed, and selling it as something we could return to"

I invite everyone in my network to read this, if you have a moment⤵️

For the more visually inclined, let me put this pie chart here: And after you looked at this, kindly explain to me, if you can, why a group of imbeciles in the country AND in the media (et tu, Andrew Marr😡) scream “Starmer must resign” and worse even “FascistFrogFace will be the next PM!”🤨😱🤨

As someone who lives with EDS Type 3, also known as Hypermobile EDS (hEDS), the more awareness the better. We aren't just a little bit bendy, we aren't just a bit double-jointed. If you hear hooves, think zebras #ZebraStrong #Dazzle #MakeMayMatter

Well fuck me, they can do it in other countries so why not here? I believe it’s something called patriotism 🤷🏼‍♀️ At the time, the family said that "paying taxes is a natural duty of citizens". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Miss Saigon tonight at the Liverpool Empire. I love a bit of theatre!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. No Star Wars/Trek, LotR or Marvel

Just discovered Love Lane Brewery ales. Magnificent! With love from Liverpool ♥️

I’d love to say I’m shocked but I just expect this shit from them now. Please share to make people aware.

An exceptional piece of evidenced work by brilliant colleagues examining Reform's UK policy agenda - super detailed and useful to all. Please share widely - as politics and political policies changes quickly, parts of it will go out of date relatively soon. www.unison.org.uk/content/uplo...

I see President Crumpledforeskin is hard at work here

In a nutshell. 😊

Anyone else not surprised?

Decorating and needed to clear some rooms so everything has gone up to the loft short term. I've just realised that I've now put up my wife's sewing mannequin and my son's Jason Vorhees mask... nothing can go wrong here, can it...?

This is for very useful anyone with kids!

Fucking dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bluesky today (including trying to post this several times, apparently the ozone_status_check_failed?)

Let’s ignore that it’s the Pope saying these words and just focus on what they say. Then let’s remember how Governments around the world are reigning in foreign aid as it’s unpopular with the far right. Poverty is a choice the rich set.

Iran propaganda machine is 🔥 😂 youtu.be/5G9DNx7xIIc?...

No sweetie, what needs to stop is your husband’s cover up of the whole Epstein saga, your husband randomly attacking countries, causing chaos, your husband continuing to let Israel attack Lebanon, your husband shrugging off the bombing of a girls school, your husband breathing.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social If you haven't seen it, take a look now. Everyone in Hollywood seems to be in this. And Judy Dench is _so_ hot as Starmer. www.youtube.com/shorts/4kRf4...

In 2012 my son and (now) daughter in law flew to Australia then made their way home to Germany without flying. It took 1 year. Their favourite country of the many they travelled through - Iran. They loved everything about it, especially the people. Thinking of ordinary Iranians today.

My NHS A&E experience. Easter Monday, doing a bit of DIY around the house. Putting up blinds, one needed shortening. Took it apart, cut the parts and was smoothing the edges using my grinding/polishing wheels. Long story short, I polished off a section of my thumbprint, quite deep.

This is a nuclear threat, right? 25th Amendment invocation - he needs removing from office in handcuffs NOW. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

I’m willing to bet my house that none of the previous presidents are looking at this colossal shit show and thinking “I wish I’d done this when I had the chance”

Posted by the Iranian embassy in South Africa.

Sorry for the associated picture, but the text is superb 😂 No alt text but it says "Iran agrees to end war if there is a regime change in the United States"

Not posting much at the moment sorry. Politics has burned me out. Can't do anything for the next few years so basically ignoring as much as possible and for my own mental health am concentrating on home/family and some very nerdy hobbies - and feeling much better for it! Peace & love 🥰

So today, is equal pay day. Sadly, not the best celebration this year. The gender pay gap in the US has widened not decreased. I wonder why it’s regressing rather than progressing… I can think of an orange, dementia addled, misogynistic reason but I can’t quite place it….

Years and years, a scarily prophetic series that first aired on BBC in 2019, has been on Netflix for a while but is now leaving in April. Your last chance to watch on the 12th April and you will be unnerved I’m sure. Highly, highly recommend…

I’m connected to some funny people, h/t to @jamessouttar.bsky.social for this one

I just fucking can’t

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...
