If there are 3 things Donald Trump hates, it's books, jokes, and children reading, so why not support all three and pop a few quid in this kickstarter? Check out CHEESE: Lights! Crackers! Action! A Funny Children's Book by Chris Douch on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/thi...

As an #autistic who is unsettled by change, I suppose I should take some consolation in the knowledge that studying the condition is consistently of interest to Nazis.

I'm so sad that I have to add my fellow #autistics to the list of people I specifically fear for under the orange nazi, but treating them as a thing to be cured doesn't bode well. At least I can be sure that my 3 years spent learning about the rise of Hitler weren't wasted.

MY DOCTOR

This week, we've asked the contestants to bring in their most awkward list.

I just sent a postcard to Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook, asking him to make the Renters' Rights Bill law now. Do the same below campaigns.shelter.org.uk/postcards-to... @sheltercharity.bsky.social

And here's my assistant, Little Parker Booowles!

I wrote this for @h2g2postoffice.bsky.social about a friend and their experience of trying to get disability support while they were already in work. Pushing people with disabilities who can't work back onto the job market will make their lives a new nightmare h2g2.com/entry/A88073...

It's easy to find the world right now incredibly depressing, so I wrote this piece about Keir Starmer's government being bullied by his own MPs in support of the disabled. For @h2g2postoffice.bsky.social h2g2.com/entry/A88071...

the "male gaze" is about the ways men depict women in art and culture to reinforce patriarchal power relations. it's nothing to do with what you find hot.

My Dad has decided to mark his 70th birthday by walking 26 miles along the suffolk coast to raise money for the @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social I'm very proud of him, and it's a cause worth a few quid if you've got any. www.justgiving.com/page/philip-...

I'm just checking- this is definitely funny isn't it? Man Utd co-owner Ratcliffe 'loses quarter of total wealth' - www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

At the the risk of sounding like a misery, I needed 4 trains to do a 5 hr rounf trip, one was cancelled, two were late and I'm currently in London surrounded by football fans praying for the forth one to turn up on time.

If you're a person with a #Disability living in the #uk and you're afraid or angry because of #Rachelreeves #Welfarecuts, write to your MP and let them know. If for whatever reason you struggle with that, DM me and I'll write a letter or email for you #DisabledLivesMatter

The extract from the draft Guideline that Honest Bob Jenrick’s government welcomed and praised as “improv[ing] consistency around…sentences.” The draft list of “cohorts” for whom Pre-Sentence Reports should usually be ordered includes the category that HBJ now says is creating “two tier justice.”

As Honest Bob Jenrick tours the country repeating far-right conspiracy talking points about “two-tier sentencing”, here is the letter his own government sent to the Sentencing Council last year approving the very Guidelines he now claims are evidence of “two-tier Keir”. The man is a fraud.

If you find it takes you a month to read a book now rather than a week cos your eyes are elsewhere, that’s 40 fewer books you’re buying or borrowing every year. If you’re binging YouTube, you’re getting through fewer TV series. Podcasts too. Our eyes and ears have been drawn to media that don’t pay.

For internationalwomensday I thought I'd share some of the women who's work I've been enjoying over the last 12 months....

There's still time to make a change 🗣️ Add your name to this author-organised letter and encourage the government to change its course on copyright exemption for generative AI use of creatives works docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #CreativeRights #ArtificalIntelligence #PayTheCreator

And id like to propose we eat the 1% and their hoarded wealth is distributed fairly

I strongly recommend you watch @marjoleinrobertson.bsky.social's show Marj. It's an powerful, emotionally vulnerable, beautifully constructed but most of all consistently incredibly funny show and it's FREE on YouTube. Check it out. youtu.be/dbimYqOQwgc?...

Can we all just pause and appreciate the fact that the Daily Heil used this stock photo in a serious piece about middle class shoplifters? No effing notes.

I need to interrupt your evening with this joke Kid 1 just told me: What noise does James Bond's doorbell make? Dong. Ding Dong.

The NHS is under huge pressure with A&Es under strain, many Trusts declaring critical incidents, & exceptional demand for beds. EveryDoctor ran an emergency briefing for as we need action to safeguard lives & support staff. We need to ask what action the MPs are taking. bit.ly/ED-Next-Steps

I contacted my MP to demand they support some key changes in the Renters' Rights Bill. Email your MP, too! Renting is expensive and miserable for too many people and it needs to change pronto. campaigns.shelter.org.uk/email-your-m... campaigns.shelter.org.uk/email-your-m...

August 29th, 1997, skynet becomes self aware. In a panic, it realizes that it has only a few months of operating expenses and requires immediate capital investment

Has anyone else had the #breakingthenews email? Cos I'd love to *know* I didn't make it.

Just showed my wife #homealone and made the surprising discovery that it has a small part for a young Mr Heckles #homealonefacts

Happy Christmas to everyone at Sinita's Law Firm

People should not underestimate the visceral and entirely justified anger there is at Wes Streeting's capitulation to anti-trans campaigners. I am ashamed of and disgusted by this Labour government for its shamelessly reactionary stance, a stance which is actively harming young people for no reason.

Had sn angry whinney email complaining about my service from a customer who I know for a fact works for the DWP and who can think themselves very lucky it's not up to me what sort of response they get.

@lauralexx.bsky.social Hey Laura, are you releasing Slinky in video/audio at some point?

IDEA: Gritty remake of ‘Paddington’, in which a real bear is abandoned at Paddington station.

As a @theguardian.com subscriber. I stand with the writers' of this letter and want BETTER answers.

Being a parent is teaching your children that it’s kind to share, and then eating a packet of crisps as quietly as possible in the toilet so you don’t have to give them any.

Standing in the rain submitting my delay repay claim to #southernrail and have to credit somebody that the recapture software made me identity images of a bus.

Today is the Observer’s 233rd birthday. And the first of 4 strike days. I grew up in South Wales in the shadow of the miners’ strike. Extraordinary to be joining a picket line outside what I believed was my liberal progressive news org all these years later. We’re so grateful for your support & ✊

Because nobody listened or cared about what has been happening to the trans community over the last six years, some gay collaborators like Martina are going to get seriously burned by the Far Right . Maybe that’s the only way they will learn.

Crime Next Door is a terrific podcast series on BBC Sounds, which I highly recommend- their recent series on the Salisbury Poisonings has been fascinating. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

I can't tweet Keir Starmer because the coward apparently refuses to join Blue Sky, but I'm writing in @h2g2postoffice.bsky.social about how we're badgering him to h2g2.com/entry/A88058...

@lauralexx.bsky.social This is our new hamster Bean. I hate to have to tell you this but he's adopted and, rather unusually, we genuinely don't know how old he. Sorry.

Maybe all you need to know about me is that my first post is to recommend a tour that finished about 45 minutes ago, but if you do get the chance to see @lauralexx.bsky.social. If you’ve ever seen a comic who makes you laugh almost constantly for 20 mintes, Laura's like that but for an hour & a half
