I can't find the words to describe what we’re going through. Each day is harder than before. Prices have reached levels no human can afford😢
We’re no longer seeking variety in food we’re just trying to survive. 💔
Please try to help us❤️

I am as southern as they come but Parkin is THE BOMB and if you are not eating it you are missing out! 😋😋😋

Beckatron @ridiculousrebecca.bsky.social · 6h

There's another northerner at work. Once a year one of us brings in Parkin and nobody except us eats it. Which is fine with us.

It'll soon be time to start making your sticky parkin (an essential treat on Guy Fawkes Night), which improves with keeping. I've got a recipe for sticky fig and pear parkin.

One hundred percent this. Transmisogyny is misogyny.

Lee Hurley @hleehurley.com · 13h

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse.

Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

"The Biden FBI"

On January 6 it was still the Trump FBI.

Because January 6 is when congress formalized the election results, and January 20th was when Biden was sworn into office.

I cannot stress it enough:

TRUMP. WAS. PRESIDENT. ON. JANUARY 6.

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 10h

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

They want to destroy public schools because the poor cannot afford private schools, and if the populace is "poorly educated" then they will continue to vote against their best interest and keep the GOP in power.

This is why Trump "loves the poorly educated" so much.

ProPublica @propublica.org · 19h

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.”

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

##FungiFriends what is this mushroom? Found today (12 October) in a park in Oxford, England.

A beige mushroom with a flatish top and slightly paler gills, growing in the middle of a lawn. Not clear from the picture but its white spores have coated the nearby leaves.

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

At the end of the summer season Cheltenham Lido drains down the pool and re-fills for winter cold water swimming. But before that, they open it to dogs for the weekend. It's Mabel's favourite day of the year.

Meh... I think it's meant to be a serious thriller, it's just Not Good (mainly in that all the people act really stupid for no good reason). #NotAloneTalk

There's a brilliant review here: www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue review – nothing has given me greater joy this year

Packed with Agatha Christie-meets-Lost shenanigans, this ludicrous crime drama from Anthony Horowitz is a most perfect piece of televisual trash. Treasure it!

What do you think about audiobooks? Do you enjoy them or prefer paper books?

I recently tried to listen to an audiobook and actually liked it. I was surprised I can focus on it well enough to understand the plot #NotAloneTalk
