I honestly saw this and thought "Cowdenbeath".

There will be a World Cup final watch party in Central Park on July 19. The first 1,500 fans can claim up to four tickets each, and once those are gone, there is the option to enter a lottery for tickets, which closes on Wednesday. www.globalcitizen.org/en/connect/w...

Bake Off - The Professionals on here. Bit disappointing if I'm honest.

The legal situation for trans people is now deeply incoherent and means that it is untenable for them to be able live their lives with dignity. This is completely out of line with the values of equality that a Labour government is meant to champion. [4/5]

Replacing Starmer with Wes Streeting is like taking The Two Ronnies off and putting Hale and Pace on instead, when what people actually want is Morecambe and Wise back

Delighted to do so

“I’ll have a chicken bhuna, keema naan and a kingfisher, please. Actually, can you make it a top; I’m driving”.

Ring of Brodgar today on an unexpected afternoon out with Sally.

wild that the Metropolitan Police is leaving polite replies to Tommy Robinson and sending furious letters to Zack Polanski

There's no debate which is improved by the intervention of Tony Blair. This is ableism. It frames anxiety, depression and ADHD as things people just need to get on with, with no acknowledgement of how damaging that attitude is, or how hard it can be to be recognised and diagnosed in the first place.

I did that once. Furious that future generations had the opportunity taken away by racist pensioners

You can still go to Europe. But you can’t stay. You can’t work. You can’t build a life. That’s what we lost. Explained properly here:

Why interdependency of people and species should be at the heart of our economy - not 'survival of the fittest'. Listen now to Green peer Natalie Bennett with @goldbergradio.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/5J3p...

Castle Burrian and Stanger Head, Westray, yesterday. No puffins yet.

The recruits to the egg production squad are settling in nicely. 🐔

Yet another devastating report ignored by the Starmer government They even claim ignorance of its very existence When faced with a critical problem, instead of acting, Starmer's default mode is to shut his eyes and shout la la la very loudly www.thetimes.com/article/3812...

Hand digging a 30m+ strip for carrots, beetroot, cabbage and cauliflower - lots of couch grass and dockan roots to pick out. It's the only guaranteed way.

One more time for the stupid people. Jewish people are no more responsible for what the Israeli government do than Muslims are for Hamas’ actions or Christians are for the American government.

Westray today.

Happy #StPatricksDay everyone. See if you can split the Samuel Taylor Coleridge. ☘️📚🍺

EXC: Zack Polanski tells us Britain should consider closing US military bases, leave Nato and denuclearise, as he begins to flesh out the Greens’ foreign policy. Also spells out to @pippacrerar.bsky.social and me his red lines in any coalition talks to come. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Mallimacs (Fulmars) out near Castle o'Burrian, Westray today.

Late afternoon, the middle of January and there's already a difference in the light. ❤️

Not all awful racist bastards are in Reform but everyone in Reform is an awful racist bastard.

Snow melt and now 48hr of heavy rain 🙄

Nigel Farage has just said Reform will vote AGAINST lifting the 2 child cap, despite promising to lift it in May. Reform doesn’t care about working class kids - or their families.

It's Friday. It's the shortest amount of time anyone has ever owned a trouser press. youtu.be/tNqn5bKmKNc?...

With the All-Scotland Synchronised Snoozing Championship almost upon us, the team from Westray put the finishing touches to their routine.

The Peggie case - an unquestionably bigoted woman who didn't like a doctor who is trans in her workplace - is a prime example of the collapse into propaganda of journalism in the UK. Please read and share.
