A dark haired woman stands clad in dark, sheer clothing. Straps holding fabric in place while sleeves flow down her arms. She is bathed in the warmth of the morning light, beams and rays pouring through the large window behind her. Her skin is covered when many tattoos, some creeping up her neck onto her face. Her eyes are piercing as they stare at the viewer.

Trump and his administration has underestimated the American people much like a British King and his Parliament once before.

Setting himself up as Dictator/King he will find, much like the British before him, the American people will fight for freedom like last time.

This is from an Englishman!

Meta is once again in trouble for showing inappropriate adverts to do with babies on Facebook and Instagram after a woman had a miscarriage.

The story is on the BBC.

Meta once again highlights that Meta put profits before it users and what they did was indefensible!

What a surprise to find that Farage and his political party is funded by the Russians and the alt-right in the US, not.

Recent news stories have confirmed what we all knew.

And Farage and Reform claim to be patriots while being funded by foreign powers!

This weekend has been very successful as I have managed to finish the core of my next V:TM5 Chronicle session a week early.

It looks like starting running games has kick started my mind and imagination.🙂

- Everlasting -

a red haired woman with elf ears and dual colored wings stands in front of the universe. Her heart shines and breaks chains that bind her, the frames are ornamented like enlightened medieval manuscripts and lions and sparrows are in it. The motifs are the sun, amaranths, and feathers. She is kind faced and is smiling. Art artwork commission

The contaminated blood scandal is one of the gravest injustices in NHS history. Victims have waited decades for justice and they’re still waiting.

@JessBrownFullerMP.bsky.social the Lib Dems plan delivers fair compensation and lasting reform.

Justice delayed is justice denied and victims have waited long enough.

Read our plan here:

Never Again: Justice for Contaminated Blood Victims

The contaminated blood scandal is one of the gravest injustices in NHS history. We must honour victims with recognition, dignity, and compensation – and ensure no one ever suffers from such injustice…
