@simkern.bsky.social yay, it’s arrived!

Just when you think the political situation in the UK couldn't get any more bizarre...

What exactly does Suella need to do to get fired? Beyond a fucking joke now.

It’s so quite I can hear this fur baby breathing

Hi, I'm Jaime and I've been working for 8 years for the Wikimedia Foundation. The following are personal views and do not represent in any way the position of the Foundation (I don't and cannot speak on behalf of it). However, you may have seen this question by Mr. Musk and I wanted to respond A 🧵:

As of two hours ago, the Death toll in Gaza is 5156 including 2009 children and 15740 injured.

Had an amazing vegan birthday lunch today at Mallow in Canary Wharf. Big fan of Mildred's, so this place has been on our list to try for a while. Didn't disappoint. I had a vegan burger and fries, my partner had a thalli, daughter had French toast, and we shared dumplings, kimchi and home fries.

Today was all about making olive leaf extract. This should last a while, although a fair bit of it will be given away.

Rio got into the catnip again and is now really interested in Strictly the Results.

I've been watching this surge ahead all afternoon, and it's been most satisfying. Sometimes it's not about achieving some end result, it's about sending a message. I really hope this goes on to break some records. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/64...

Is anyone really surprised? When a government leads with hate, then this is inevitable.

Sunak has claimed that a #GeneralElectionN0W is "not what the country wants", despite insisting he is unafraid of going to the polls Via this petition, let's tell Sunak and the #ToryLiars that he's wrong... We absolutely DO want a #GeneralElectionN0W!!!

That stage in a father-daughter relationship. Daughter just about to leave for school. Me: I like your socks & tights choice. Daughter: I'm going to change my socks and tights. If you like it, it must be bad.

I feel like the single best practical example of the failure of markets is that we don't develop new antibiotics because their best use is very limited, which means they won't be profitable. So everybody loses. By choice.

You couldn't make it up. (The Metrolink's airport line opened nine years ago.)

More archeological evidence that trans people have existed for thousands of years, this time from Anglo-Saxon burial sites in England.

I missed this one. That’s Braverman told.

This is even better today, and there’s enough for us all again tomorrow as well.

87 years ago today, the people of the East End of London fought the Met Police, protecting Mosley's fascists in what became known as The Battle of Cable Street. And here we are today, in Tory Britain.

Well, that Rishi Sunak Conservative Conference speech is over 😳 Condensing my many enraged tweets, it was beyond pathetic, but entirely in keeping with the wee gaslighting twerp. He concluded with, "It is time for a change and we are it." After 13 years of Tory? Roll on the GE ffs #GTTO

Joe Lycett’s letter to Cruella Braverman (can’t find Joe on here)

If anyone had any sense of humour, they would organise a zombie flash mob outside her house after the alarm test.

Sunak displaying big Jim Bowen "here's what you could have won" energy announcing the scrapping of HS2 to Manchester, in Manchester.

The Tories may as well rename themselves the X Party.

Honestly, why not just play a hologram of Enoch Powell’s Rivers of Blood speech and bring them all to full orgasm. They are repulsive. They’ve totally lost all decency, and speak only for lunatics. This isn’t the Conservative Party, this is the EDL in a blazer. #CPC2023

There are various ways this Fascistic government can disapply Human Rights. One is to abolish the Human Rights act thus making it much harder to have one's Human Rights respected. This is what Raab was proposing but his proposals went nowhere. And now this www.lbc.co.uk/news/home-se...

Tonights vegan feast is a hearty minestrone soup, and homemade wholemeal focaccia. Yum.

Stunning little chunk of cladonia & moss.

That time of year when my home made olive leaf extract gets an extra boost.

Say hi to Ben. Ben is here to defend bee keepers stealing, sorry, taking surplus food from bees. Ben thinks bees make all this food out of the kindness of their hearts for us humans. Ben also loves to use ableist slurs whilst doing so. Give Ben a warm welcome please.

That’s her telt

Had to pop into Spitalfields with my partner, so we made it a lunch date at the ever yummy Cookdaily. The food never disappoints at Casa King, some of the best quick vegan eats in East London.

Hello? Hello? Is there anyone there? Hello? Oh there you are… Nice to meet you… Who am I? That’s a very good question. I’m glad you asked it. Who am I? Where to start? Let’s start at the very beginning. A very good place to start… I’m The Bee Guy.

Another habit I picked up from my Italian mother is stocking up on panettone in the run up to Xmas for guests to tuck into. Luckily for me, you can get them vegan friendly now and this one is the first of the season this year. Might have a wee slice with a mug of Italian barley & rye ‘coffee’.

Good morning.

It's those little things in life, like getting a Local Legend back in Strava.

Good morning! Yes it’s only 2:30am, but tinnitus rests for no one… how have you all been?

One bin to rule them all.

Things I don't politically align with: • ppl who don't hate McDonald’s. It's not just the health, it's the environmental destruction, the treatment of workers and as a vegan the mass exploitation of animals is a big no • Tories • Leather. It's dead animal skin, please stop
