And just for no apparent reason, I just want to post this – I just can't get it out of my head! I LOVE IT! #DavinaAndTheVagabonds #Music www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV0-...

I'm only half way through, but what a speech from @zackpolanski.bsky.social from @greenparty.org.uk #VoteGreen #JoinTheGreens www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZx9...

Farewell Kitty. 😭 RIP Patricia Routledge

'Sheridan!!' Sorry to hear that Dame Patricia Routledge has died. But 96 is a great age.

This was my little guide to Mastodon from January: peterjfullagar.co.uk/mastodon/

Already fed up of #DragRaceUK. Have decided to read instead.

I’m going to say it. I hate the word ‘teacherpreneur’. Or any other form of -preneur; ‘languagepreneur’ I’ve just seen. Yes, language changes and these are portmanteaus, but these just grate on me. What next? DEIpreneur? Cookiepreneur?

We stand with the Jewish community and everyone affected by the horrific attack at the synagogue in Manchester today. Zack Polanski: “We've seen rising antisemitism for years, as well as rising hate crime more generally. This is about civil society, democracy, and bringing people together.”

Update: initially, the post was removed. But now I’ve just had a notification saying it’s been reversed. WTF?

This horrific act in Manchester is awful. However, I do not want to see the unedited video of part of what happened. I just came across it on LinkedIn - LINKEDIN!! I reported it and blocked the person. No thought in posting that - disgusting. Think about the community affected by this!

Dreadful news. All thoughts with those affected, especially given the high importance of today for Jews. Prejudice, hatred, and violence against anyone for their identity is abhorrent and everyone in our country should be safe to practice their religion in peace. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

HOPE not hate condemn the appalling, violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester which has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and all affected.

What he said.

Excellent news.

Sorry to hear this news. May she rest in peace but her legacy live on.

Here in the UK, it's #BlackHistoryMonth and over the pond in the US, it's #LGBTQHistoryMonth. In a nod to both, I want to share this page of suggested reading: Yes, it's a fairly short list and there are many other books out there – but it's a good start to the month. www.bustle.com/entertainmen...

'I think Keir Starmer's talking bollocks.' Well said @zackpolanski.bsky.social! This is the kind of politics we need. No faffing around, circling questions. Get straight to the point. #VoteGreen #JoinTheGreens #BackZack www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTV4...

"Greens with their rising influence and bold politics stand ready to replace Labour’s tired ideas and stale politicians." @zackpolanski.bsky.social responds to being included in this year's Time100 Next list 💚

Random thing, but why does my cat seem to insist on being sooooo close to the wheels of my office chair?? #Cats #CatsOfBluesky

I think someone needs to remind Starmer and the Labour Party about forks. They usually have more than two prongs. Starmer wants us to believe that there are only two choices. The Tories have been rightly written off, but there is another choice. #VoteGreen #BackZack @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Why is this so difficult for other political leaders? #VoteGreen

Horrifying

So, the BBC has covered the Reform conference and Labour conference in quite a bit of detail. Will wait to see how they cover the Green Party conference…

‘A better and fairer Britain!*’ says Rachel Reeves. An absolute farce. #UKPol #LabourConference *except if you’re trans or non-binary.

All this rhetoric from Rachel Reeves about who is standing up for various people in the UK. I’d like to ask her: who is standing up for the rights of trans and non-binary people and the wider LGBTQIA+ community? Are we not workers too? It’s certainly not Labour, that’s for sure.

Seeing Rachel Reeves’ speech at conference on the BBC reminds me of something. I just can’t put my finger on it… #UKPol

Ha, The Sound of Music on the telly again. ‘What is it, you can’t face?’

Ha. On BBC, Starmer says that he doesn’t want a divisive country - all the while being divisive in his lack of respect for the trans and non-binary community.

I had a lovely surprise yesterday for my #FamilyHistory research. On my way out, I saw a large envelope in the communal hallway and it had my name on. On the back, it was from the Canadian archives.

OK, so today, partner and I got new iPhone Air. It’s not been the smoothest transition. We’re both having issues adding cards to the wallet. Partner can’t seem to add any cards, whereas I’m having issues with one credit card. Not the smoothest. Not hugely impressed at the moment.

I’m fed up of not seeing the Green Party mentioned on the national news. The media seems to be obsessed with Trump and Reform 🤡. Don’t they notice the Green wave heading towards Westminster? 💚🌊 #VoteGreen #BackZack #JoinGreen join.greenparty.org.uk

We condemn recent comments by Wes Streeting MP, about trans people on hospital wards. We've written to remind him that anyone staying on a hospital ward should be treated with dignity. His proposals are unworkable and would almost certainly cause harm. Statement: transactual.org.uk/blog/2025/09...

Following a typo, I'd now like to end my emails with: Best swishes. #Typo

So refreshing to see this from a politician. This is why I rejoined the Green Party. join.greenparty.org.uk

If you have digestive conditions and are in the UK, I can highly recommend @gutscharityuk.bsky.social For example, did you know that September is Achalasia awareness month? #Guts #ChronicIllness #Digestion gutscharity.org.uk

September is Achalasia Awareness Month.💚 Approximately 2 to 3 in 200,000 people are diagnosed with achalasia each year. Although it is rare, we must raise awareness because for the people affected by it, it is very real. And it needs to be better known.

Send them all home. #DragRaceUK

When I go down to mum’s, it’s now all about getting her confidence in her mobility scooter up. She’s getting the hang of it outside the garden on pavements, but the garden itself is not smooth with paving slabs and old concrete. She needs the gusto to keep going and not go slow and get stuck.

No transphobes at Green Party conference, please sign and share

Just because… youtu.be/96Mutizlyd8?...

The UK government has confirmed it will finally recognise the state of Palestine - a welcome step. But this must be accompanied by real, concrete actions to bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and the end of arms sales to Israel.

This is really fantastic news. The future is GREEN!!! 💚💚💚

Very much looking forward to app interoperability with WhatsApp so I can finally get rid of the last Meta in my digital life. #Meta #Whatsapp #Interoperability

Starmer: my friend and your friend, President Trump. 🤮

I’m so happy to know that Melania Trump has had a lovely morning looking at a doll’s house and being in a garden. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t know that. Thanks BBC.

Do you know, I quite like the new iOS26 on my phone and tablet…

Make your voice heard at today's national demonstration against Trump's state visit! ⏰ 2PM 📍 Portland Place, London

Embarrassing that the orange one is being carted around Windsor in a carriage. At least the carriage won’t turn into a pumpkin. It’s already carrying one.
