Taking your passport photo is a humbling experience.

good morning

Look, this is what Catholicism does so well. Yes girl, BRING OUT THE MONSTRANCE. MAKE THEM SAY IT IN FRONT OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. Martin Luther could *never*. He failed to predict the Trump Presidency and also is directly implecated. I am so serious.

Love that they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to the sentient version of this tweet

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

one day children will learn about the great frog uprising of 2025

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Pubs could stay open longer under Starmer plan to revive British night out Who will provide extra police, staff, public services? Nights out restricted due to cost of living crisis Govt can help hospitality industry by cutting energy/water bills, rents, improving public transport.

Fun fact: when this happened in 1970s Chile, UK universities were in a position to hire people

I too look forward to the US putting forward an Antipope.

#OtD 9 Oct 2014 the Guardian reported that Greek 'riot dog' Loukanikos ("sausage") died peacefully in his sleep. He was the most famous of the Athens strays who joined riots against police violence and later against austerity. More info and merch here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/en-gb/collec...

Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight... the Fieldfare! 🍒 Flocks arrive from Scandinavia, filling UK hedgerows and fields with their speckled breasts and blue-grey heads, feasting on berries and insects.

One of the richest countries in the world:

The research, the considerations, the ethics, the discussion all over buying a winter duvet.

Yer da’s been decorating the zafira

the cat is furious at me because I cleaned his ear after he got into a fight.

This is incredible work: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

First day of my secondment in a specialist service ✨

AI data centres are gobbling up environmental resources. Billionaires are flying around on private jets. Endless amounts of money & resources spent on wars around the globe. But inhalers are the real threat to the climate? They really will blame disabled people for everything

A fucking Holocaust survivor is saying that him witnessing the Western world cheering on a genocide is the darkest thing he's ever seen in his whole life. Think about that for a second.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

It was during her time in Blackwell’s Island Penitentiary where she started her work in nursing, euth little training being placed in charge of a 16-bed women’s ward. She later formally trained in Vienna as a Nurse and Midwife.

Tibetan yaks are being used to get people stranded in various areas of Mount Everest down. -'the reason for that is because during dangerous conditions, where there is deep snow, the yaks can not only carve a path but potentially reveal dangerous chasms.' such perfect little angels.

First day back at work after a weeks of annual leave. My god.

If the state wants to avoid cumulative protests, maybe the answer is to stop its cumulative support for injustice, its cumulative inaction on the climate crisis and its cumulative complicity in genocide. It won't: and so, no matter how many new laws ministers create, protests are inevitable

Having the best time at a polish wedding 💒 🇵🇱 🥒 🥂

Your timeline is hereby thoroughly cleansed.

Holding up a sign that says "human nature is contingent" and all the tech bros and evo psych clowns hiss like vampires seeing a cross.

Did you know that Kookaburras are a species of Kingfisher? I didn't, but now I do. I'm quite fond of them, but I also kind of think they are stupid assholes. It just goes to show you that even the simple and beautiful can be a stupid asshole, and isn't that something that is true?

Big fan of the cold and smell of mountains.

Thinking of Jamal Khashoggi and his loved ones on the 7th anniversary of his murder, carried out in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on the order of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Fuck Saudi Arabia.

i love to think about various situations

Absolutely heart breaking to see what’s happened in Manchester.

"We absolutely need to stop the boats,” Polanski said, “but let’s stop the boats by offering safe and legal routes to asylum and not having people clinging on to dinghies for dear life.* www.newstatesman.com/politics/gre...

moreover, which of the groundspeople are the crows holding a grudge against?

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!

Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining. The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

Apparently Israel’s genocidal acts are just “daft”.

I hope Tonty Blair is crying right now.

Sukhjot Singh Photographer Peregrine Falcon attacks a Pelican for flying close to its nest #peregrinefalcon

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

in the uk calling someone a bigot is considered worse than actually being a bigot. im sick of it.

I’m tired of living in a country where everything is shit, ruinously expensive and migrants on refugees are scapegoated.

good morning fellow insomniac, whoop whoop

truth coming out of her well to shame mankind
